redial Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Going back to the clays. I have looked at a couple of 682 E 's. Do they all have the light coloured woodwork. I know it makes no difference other than perhaps between the ears but I have always thought darker woodwork looks better. So any recommendations please for older Beretta's please. Edit to add. Some say the older models were better quality ? Edited May 23, 2018 by redial Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewh100 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 the 682 gold e with adjustable stock i used to own had a lovely dark stock I'm sure you will find one plenty out there for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have an S57 EL dating to about 1975. Stock is mid to light in shade, though when I acquired in (circa 1985) it had the typical thick 'varnish' that was common at the time. I had the varnish stripped and the ridiculously large palm swell removed, and an oil finish done, which remains good to this day. It has been 100% reliable and has even been used on doves in hot tropical Central America with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have a beretta a300 semi auto also from around 1975 and it had pretty dark wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I had a 682 Supersport with 28” ported barrels and very dark lovely wood. It was a great little fast handling gun which I used to devastating effect as my bolting bunny gun for a while. It’s a shame Berettas don’t suit me otherwise I may still have it. Can recommend the model very much. Edited May 23, 2018 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look on guntrader at 682 E and compare for yourself I have had light / dark you name it. As for the old chestnut “ they don’t make em they used to “ rubbish they ALL made a few poor examples back then just like they ALL make a few now Buy what you like. As long as it fits and you can afford it. ?? Edited May 23, 2018 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
