Guest stevo Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 evening all well this afternoon i picked up my new trap gun , over the past 4 weeks or so i have tried lots of differnt " Hi Rib " guns and last week i decided on this a Beretta 692 X Trap hi-rib , https://www.dropbox.com/s/tg6oex3is04o2h1/DSC_0405.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibgnbcg3bh3lbh5/DSC_0407.JPG?dl=0 I had a budget of 4K for a new or second hand trap gun but as I'm only a short *** most of what I tried where just too big , to heavy , of just felt plane dead and numb in the shoulder , until I see and had a go of one of these , I loved it !! , so last weekend I got my RFD to get me one in , not had a proper chance to use it yet , only a kwik 50 this afternoon , just to see what and where there needs to be any adjustment . will have a good bash with it tomorrow if the weather holds off . atb stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONY R Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well it obviously suits you, so hope you enjoy it, i have had a few Beretta Trap models over the years, a 680 trap and two 682s, had great service out of them all, sure yours will be the same ..

neil w Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 You where robbed, 4k for a shotgun !!. Really don't see how they can justify that. But if you're happy, well it's your money. Do you think it will make you a better shot ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) pretty much the sort of response's I was expecting haha , its defiantly a case of function over form , funny thing is nearly everyone wanted a go of it today , that said I will be the first to say trap guns in this orientation are not the prettiest , however when you try one and put it in your shoulder when there set up right you start to see the benefits . You where robbed, 4k for a shotgun !!. Really don't see how they can justify that. But if you're happy, well it's your money. Do you think it will make you a better shot ?. I never said it was 4K , I said I had a budget of 4K Edited April 15, 2016 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
