DorsetJasper Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ive just had another good shoot up at Southern Counties and thanks to the great advice on here my scores are going up However ive decided its time to trade in the old Lanber 2097 Sporter. They had a Beretta 680 Shotgun up there that felt good and was good money, now for the question honestly has anyone got any reviews on these guns? Good and Bad please! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 A good gun, very reliable, forerunner to the 682 series, but likely to be about 30 years old and could be a bit clapped out by now. Don't pay over the odds for it. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ive just phoned the gun shop for some more information the details are as follows. 2003 Beretta 682 Gold 32" Sport Cheers Catamong for your thoughts Any more reviews chaps would be greatly appreciated I shoot a 32" 682 Gold E sporter, don't know if there's any difference between a Gold and a Gold E It's a good, reliable mid range gun. I've had mine 2 or 3 years and never had any major problems. The barrel selector switch has a tendency to migrate over to a different position with the recoil, which is a pain, but probably easy to fix if I could be bothered They don't balance as nicely as a DT10 which is what I now want to upgrade to, but I don't want to spend the money at the moment. In my opinion the 682 is one of the better guns in its price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorsetJasper Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Beretta now purchased Cant wait to start breaking some clays with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 682 Gold and Browning Cynergy are the best VFM claybusters out there IMHO..... Not only is it a good dependable gun, it will hold its value. Enjoy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Just out of interest what did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 the gold e is a lot lighter and a quick handling gun compared to standard 682. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfa taf Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ive just phoned the gun shop for some more information the details are as follows. 2003 Beretta 682 Gold 32" Sport Cheers Catamong for your thoughts Any more reviews chaps would be greatly appreciated I shoot a 682 E Gold which I use mainly for clays but use it some times for rough shooting. A bit heavy for that but a really well made gun with no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorsetJasper Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think i got it for a good price Before i purchased it i had a quick look on Guntrader and it seemed to be about the right price. Its having a new recoil pad put on at the moment but i cant wait to get out and start shooting with it. Samf PM me if you want to know what it cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
