johnnytheboy Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Well it looks like they have eventually updated their over and under which was well over due as my beretta semi auto has a better choke system and barrel than a 687eell Waiting with baited breath for the price ? http://www.beretta.com/en-uk/sl3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butchdickason Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Info I found suggests £18.750 for the scroll engraved version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delwint Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I’ve just been speaking to one of the Beretta ambassadors who is there and he said close to the £20k mark in the Uk ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Looks like I’ll be sticking with the semi auto then! ?? Edited March 9, 2018 by johnnytheboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad93 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 All a bit for show isn’t it. Still going to have the usual beretta issues. I’d rather spend 20k on something used that’s been made by hand not made by machine and laser engraved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 20k for something laser engraved. Clearly targeting the 'more money than sense' market. Can't understand why anyone would chose this over a good SO grade. 7 hours ago, motty said: What issues are they? They directly reference one of them in the advertising ..... improved ejector design. Several folks I know have had their guns back multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docleo Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 If you want a stunning Beretta with excellent barrels (fixed chokes though) my suggestion would be an old S3 made after 1960. You can find a mint gun at resonable price. I have one and it is absolutely brilliant. This one looks like its newer and more expensive version...

grahamch Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 At that price l would have a Longthorne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Not many years ago you could have bought a brand new SO6 for less than half that! I did, and I still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Longthornes are great but no heritage , which for me personally is a big part of a game gun . Also for that kind of money I would want a fully handmade shotgun. Just my opinion. I would have to go old school for the game gun , got to be a Belgian browning . For my comp gun beretta every time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has me very interested! I asked the very nice lady on their stall a few years ago if they’d considered a boxlock, and she told me one was possibly in the pipeline. I’ll bet it’s a cracker. I doubt I could still afford one, but I much prefer boxlocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
