arjimlad Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 August's Sporting Gun carried a brief look at a new one of these. They appear good value at £921 rrp and are made in Belgium. I know that the earliest ones had the reputation for being muzzle-heavy. Has anyone had a look at the latest models/shot one/bought one yet ? I am contemplating chopping semi & sbs in for a decent OU...always liked Berettas, but, well, everyone's got one, and I fancy buying new but can't imagine stretching to the Berettas..

MC Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I shot a Winchester Select for a couple of years and changed it for a Blaser a year ago. The are very similar to a Beretta in design but have the Browning quality. The new ones claim to have a better balance but that is a personal thing anyway. You cannot go far wrong with one. They have gone up quite a bit in the last 3 years then because I paid £650 for mine brand new from Avalon Guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
