ddumarche Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi all, seeking a bit of advice.... I currently have a 1978 686s beretta fixed choke U/O and I have always wanted a multi choke as I do a lot of clays as well as game shooting. I have seen andread up on ATAARMS SP 686 multi, which is essentially a beretta. But as I can't afford to buy another gun I am thinking of trading it in for my beretta. I know it's all down to personal option but a bit stuck on wether it's a good idea to do this or do I just hang on to my beretta. People's options greatly welcomed, thanks all.

Bobba Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 If you really do like your Beretta then why not get it multi choked by Teague chokes. Give them a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1440 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I think you'll find that for the cost of hsving your gun teagued it will more cost effective yo trade your gun in against a second hand Beretta with factory multies.

Highlandladdie Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Why multi chokes? has your OU very extreme fixed chokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Ddumarche Does your Beretta 686s fit you? What is it choked? You will lose money trading it in against a new ATA or a second hand Beretta. Multi-choking your 686 should cost somewhere in the region of £400. However you should be able to find another set of Beretta multi-choke barrels for about the same money. They would need setting up by a competent gunsmith and you would then have a set for game and a set for the clays. Good luck Edited November 15, 2016 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddumarche Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi thanks for all the ideas, I will look into all the options, My beretta is fixed at full and just over half, so a great game gun, but I do a lot of clays and I like skeet. Obviously it won't make me hit everything but it will certainly help on skeet having the option of a wider pattern. I don't won't to lose money by trading it in for a lesser gun but money is always in my mind. I will have a look at a set of multi choke barrels do you recommend anywhere or is it a case of a good web search.

ddumarche Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks everyone for you comments after some consideration and a point in the right direction, I have decided not to get a ATA Sp but rather I have found some barrels that will fit.

armourer103 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 hi, think i met you in webbers a few months back, having the chokes taken out is a good idea if you like the gun, but buy a another Beretta if you dont want to go down the choke conversion route, chokes only give you an edge realy, if you want to try another Beretta give Webber a bell and come to his clay ground and you can try mine with all the chokes you want.
