romeobravo Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hi, Not been reg'd long, but a long time lurker really. Strange first post but here we go Was at a clay shoot the other day and was talking to one of the instructors when a gent walked in asking for advice/confirmation on his chokes. He had a nice looking over+under and I've been trying to find his gun model ever since - looked a bit like a Beretta 690 Black Edition with the orange highlight wording on the action, but it definitely wasn't. It wasn't a Browning black sporter either, in fact the only marking I saw was an "X" on the action in orange with some other short wording, like "Xxx xx" Anyone got any ideas what gun it might have been? Vague as anything I know.. but worth a go asking. I've been after a nice looking black action sporter, and I do like the 690's but would like to find out what this blokes was. Have scoured the regular gun websites to see if I could work out what it was without much joy. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Many actions look similar to the 690. Could it have been a black actioned 692? red writing on an ata super sport? (Pic below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t that ATA one unfortunately either 😞 It was orange the wording, I don’t think any of the 692’s had orange on them when I checked. The hunt continues!

No I don’t think the 692’s did have orange as standard but not difficult to paint the lettering a different colour. The only over under I know for certain has orange is like you say the 690. I have also had a little google and couldn’t find anything. I hope you find out what it is but as tightchoke quite rightly said fit is far more important (than any colouring ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The N looked like an X at a glance, it was a 5 second look before the chap walked off. To answer above questions, I’ve already got my own and have done for ages, I just wanted to try and locate the one I saw. Thanks for the responses.

Spr1985 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) 🎉🥳🍾 well done @muncher the power of pw strikes again.

muncher Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I like these a lot , I’ve been tempted to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeobravo Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) It looks like the Elos N2 Sporting AS I saw, looks exactly like it in fact. I can't seem to find much info whether you can order them in LH rather than RH (yep, leftie), but I notice they have adjustable comb. Guess I'd need to spend a bit of time with one. I know a couple of the Browning Synergy's I looked at previously allowed you to adjust the comb adequately to suit LH nicely. Thanks for the replies all Edited February 25, 2022 by romeobravo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
