Westward Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Had half a dozen shots with a GMK demo 30" 690 the other day. I liked the general handling, it felt exactly like the Prevail 1 which is hardly surprising since it's mechanically identical. But, as with the Prevail 1 and just like the Gold E, it's a bit too whippy for my taste in 30" and I would definitely prefer it in 32" for sporting clays. What I didn't like was the chequering. Very coarse and sharp which made it uncomfortable to shoot - and I don't have girly hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Some technical data would have been good, LOP, drop, cast, weight etc. I cannot imagine grade 1 wood. Not sure about red text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 The stock geometry is per standard Beretta sporter. As always weight varies by an ounce or two but Greenfields in Salisbury have several in stock at a typical 7lb 12oz and they always weigh their listed guns. I used to own a rare 32" Prevail 1 and it too was that exact weight. A bit light for a clay gun, but recoil was never a problem. The colour scheme isn't to my taste but then I'm an old ***.

wacker Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Early Supersport, the original black action beretta Much cheaper, better wood and built like a tank! Lovely gun indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely gun indeed. +1 Backward step when Beretta went for the shallow action guns, alas Browning seem to be going down this route, but not as shallow YET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samboy Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I shot my pals 692 the other week and the chequering was like a cheese grater. I prefer the old Beretta's . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerettaSV10 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 The old Beretta's are better by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
