kiffy Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 hi folks.. been having a quiet nose around for a left handed trap gun and heard of a leftie for sale today and the owner just rang me with details. its a baretta 682 x trap, multi choke with monte carlo stock.. although the owner says its in very good condition ive yet to see it or know of its age but wondered before i agree to see it what you guys thought of them as a trap gun?

Gordon R Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Excellent trap gun, which will last and last. Make sure you are okay with the high rib. I had one a few years ago, but couldn't shoot sporting with it. Fine for trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 As above great gun I prefer the sporter but use x trap barrels for trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffy Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 thanks guys, to be honest im only looking at it for dtl as i rarely do sporting.. at the moment i use my lanber for both but im struggling on dtl with it. used it for 3 lines today then swapped to a borrowed trap gun and my score went up almost 50% which is a huge difference when you consider it was a right hander and a strange gun to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Has this been Teague choked as I was unaware beretta made a multichoke 682x trap gun with multichokes, most are 3/4 and full In my opinion they are one of the best trap guns out had mine for 15 years Just make sure it has not been lowered as well mine had and it cost me £250 for the correct stock ,at the time I didn't know it had been altered Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 They made them multi choke from the factory Mobil choke of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 not knowing anything about these or how old it is would you say £800 - £900 is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I bought a new left handed 682X 32" barreled trap gun back in the 80's, it was multichoked. They were all the rage then for those on the DTL circuit. I didn't get on very well with it and swapped it for a Browning B2 trap gun which suited me better.

Gordon R Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 £800-900 is about right for a good one. Mine had factory Mobil chokes fitted - so they do make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) £800-900 is right for a good condition trap the sporter raises it a little more to £1000 Edited May 12, 2014 by welshwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterse Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Excellent guns, I have two, one Teague choked and the other the original 3/4 and full 32". For some reason I seem to shoot better with the non teague version. Have also in the past had a factory multi choke version which I could not get on with at all. I think the barrels are heavier to accommodate the Mobil chokes. I mostly shoot English sporting and FITASC sporting with them but when I do shoot DTL it's just as though the gun is doing the work for you, very steady and pointable - brilliant dtl guns. Depending on condition you could expect to pay anywhere from £700 - £1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiffy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 my mate does all his shooting apart from fowling where he uses a semi (for 3 1/2 carts) with his old parker hale trap gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAV331 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I brought one of these last September. 32" Black action and teagued. The gun is 26 years old, but In mint condition, I paid a £1050 for it from a dealer. The build quality is fantastic, far superior to my later 686 model and feels more like German engineering than Italian. For me, it shoots very high (even for a trap gun), I tried shooting registered sporting with it for a while as i preferred the trigger and balance to my sporter, but eventually switched back as targets both at distance and dropping were tricky to judge with the guns high POI. As a trap gun though, especially DTL, brilliant once I managed to stop myself swinging through the target. A little tip, if the beretta gold inlayed lettering on the action has faded or gone completely, this stuff works wonders and you couldn't tell that it isn't the original finish. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amaco-76361A-RubN-Buff-Gold/dp/B00081HYDC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399914748&sr=8-1&keywords=Rub+n+buff+gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berettacocker Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Used to have the Sporterised version which was great, now have the eighties sporter which is brilliant. Was George Digweeds choice back then so can't be too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
