Wiggum Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 My dads selling his house and has said he's gonna treat me to a new over and under, I was considering a Browning Cynergy as I used to have the black ice version and shot well with it but found the rubber palm swell wore quickly so would really look at a wooden stocked version, however I've come across the Beretta 690 black edition which looks wise is my style of gun and it also has an adjustable comb which would be handy for fit issues. Wondered what others thoughts are on these good or bad ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 No comment on the 690 but the new 725 super sport I think it is has a lot of interest and some good reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerettaSV10 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 New Beretta's = poor quality and reliability, old Beretta's = quality and will last a life time. Browning's I now have 2 of them (sold my Beretta's) = niggles with the firing pins a common problem, and did have the top lever stick on the 525, which was a a quick fix, some have reported rust problems with the 725, which I have seen myself on a friends gun. Out of the Browning's vs Beretta's after years of owning Beretta's sold the lot of them and now have the 525 and 725 pro trap which are great guns, even with the niggles as at least they can be still used where I have had and seen Beretta's break and out of action until returned from repair.

Mr.C Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Take a look at the Caesar Guerini range before making your mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmb Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Never come on here asking about new berettas! Only Brownings and ceasar guerini are allowed! Joking aside I bought two new 690 fields in July last year and have loved them so far. Never given me any cause for concern and have received a lot of compliments from friends who have tried them. Not sure of the difference between my fields and the black version but I'd advise to go and try various guns and ignore the biased nonsense on here.

Westward Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Since the 690s are about 99% the same as 692s you might want to check the recent threads. There are things to be aware of if you expect to put a lot of shells through it. Edited February 23, 2017 by Westward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 i bought an early 692 and it was not good. but since then two of my mates have got 690s and had no problems with them and they both shoot them every week. so maybe beretta have sorted out the problems.

On the naughty step with you sir.how dare you suggest that comments on here are biased nonsense. Do you not realise there are more Gunsmiths on here than blades of grass in ten acre pasture.😗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Definitely +1 for the CG. If I hadn't have been swayed by a secondhand Perazzi I would have one in my cabinet now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
