DaveB916 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Had a few knocks this last week and was feeling a bit down, so decided to treat myself to a new gun, well new to me: Got it from Swillington Shooting Supplies nice guys and very fair to deal with. Can't wait to put some cartridges through it. 30 3/4 " multi barrels currently choked at skeet and light mod, 3 different size combs and 3 different size pads may even get it to fit a Gorilla like me ........lol I liked my AL390 but was fed up of picking up cartridges with my old aching back......lolol Anyone else have one, any tips etc ?

tweedledee Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 thats a nice beretta. thinking of giving up the air rifles and if i do i`ll have another 68 series beretta in a heartbeat. i have a 686e at the moment and i love it. well put together i reckon they are as good a claybuster as you will get in that price bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I've used one on the clays for a couple of years now. I got it into my head to chop it in for a DT10 recently, but I've decided against it, I'll keep the Gold E Nice guns, The only trouble I have with mine is that the barrel selector switch seems loose and recoil can make it migrate over or into the middle. Very disconcerting if the top barrel fires first when you're not expecting it and if the switch just moves to the middle, it misfires . I now habitually shove it with my thumb each time I mount the gun. Probably cheap and easy to fix, I just haven't got round to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXX73 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Man after my own heart, splash the cash when feeling a little peeved. I've owned 2 682's and they're brilliant guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveB916 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Dave nice gun mate , I learned to shoot with a Beretta so I bought one , ps so does this mean the AL390 is for sale I expect so, but not by me, try Swillington Shooting Supplies. It's a 'low mileage' good example, genuinely good gun if you are looking for one. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldfish Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Great choice, I sold my Benelli and bought a Beretta for the same reason, limited to one choke and fed up picking up cartridges out of the nettles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian E Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Very nice esp with the extra combs and pads. One day if i get good nuff I may get myself a 682, i love my 686e but i was playing about with a 32" 682 a few weeks ago and it felt even better.
