figgy Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes I have a 687 Silver Pigeon iv 30" fixed choke and it's a superb gun. Handles and patterns nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Berettas obsession to keep the American market happy for slim and shallow actions has caused the internal moving parts to be weakened. Open an account with GMK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) 686/7 do you reccomend them looking at a 30 inched for next season never owned one they look a nice gun 12 bore or 20 bore? I've a little used 20 bore 686 Silver Pigeon I'm thinking of selling (Bought for my son to use but he now lives in Singapore!). 30" multi-choke. Beretta hard case.

philpotttt Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have owned most models of Beretta o/u over a period of 45 years and to be totally honest, they have never let me down and shoot very well indeed. BUY BERETTA Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUY BERETTA Phil Yep me too dozens of em over thirty odd years and the only ones I did not like were dt10 x trap and 692 x trap. Any of the 680 series will be an excellent choice.

wymberley Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Only saying this because I'm well pleased, but forget it if you're after something with a bit of weight. No harm in just having a look outside of the box and at Chapuis in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Mine is a 1990's model 687 and I have to say it's very well put together. The fit and finish is as good as I've ever seen, the internals are all good with no burrs left on or crud left in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Its fare to Say Imo Beretta quality slipped mid 2000s after the original 682 gold and ASEs were dropped. Ps Al things considered the 682gold was the best gun Beretta ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonmick Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 ....and their wood quality can vary vastly on the more expensive grades. i dont see how you can comment on wood quality,everyone has a different view on what a good piece of wood is,i like nice dark wood some like light wood with dark stripes,i have seen some guns with so called exhibition wood and to be honest i would not have it on a rough shooting gun,i have looked for a browning b2g and to be honest have seen some with what can only be described as scaffold board timber,good quality walnut must be very scarce, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Trust me, i own 9 high-grade shotguns all of which were selected for their furniture.Trust me when I say as nice as you think the wood work on your guns is. There will be others out there that will NOT have the same feelings about them as you. Woodwork is like a piece of art. It's subjective. As Mick said he likes dark wood. I don't I like light wood. And some buy a gun with woodwork that they think everyone else will like. It's what makes the world go round. Oh and to the OP buy it mate. As lots have said there a cracking bit of kit and worth every penny. 👍 Edited June 8, 2017 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 There is a massive difference between poor and average and exhibition grade wood. Rarity and cost come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 There is a massive difference between poor and average and exhibition grade wood. Rarity and cost come into play. With you. I have 687eell diamond pigeon game with super wood. DT10 well trap with fabulous wood BUT I kind of see what he is saying about what people perceive as good in as much as dark or light BUT grain is grain and good is good 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kody Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 My local several in 686\7 30 inches from 900 to 1,200 a d some with very nice stocks But if get one I will buy some off the shelf teague chokes for it Thanks all for the feedback David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Trust me, i own 9 high-grade shotguns all of which were selected for their furniture. i am sure you own some nice guns,but as i said wood is in the eye of the buyer,i own high end beretta's i will not buy one if the wood does not please me,i looked at a dt10 anniversarry with what was exhibition grade wood,the gun was as new was an excellent price,but the wood to me was horrible.so i passed it by,i know the chap who did buy it and he was over the moon with the timber,i have several eell models of the beretta range and have chosen them all on the wood and fit.every brand will suffer the same as far as wood goes,be it a perazzi browning purdey,personell preference.
