I agree, but to be honest I’ve never understood the obsession with prize money. I’m not an experienced sports person as such, and I’m not aware of many participant sports with class winnings or similar (I could be wrong here if course) I wonder how much the cost of our entries would come down...

Kegworth is fairly flat but quite spread out. Might be worth ringing around before travelling to se if any of the grounds have a motorised buggy type thing you might be able to borrow. Hope you don’t take offence at this suggestion, it’s meant the right way if your mobility is affected.    Ian 

Oh dear, that’s really sad news. He always seemed such a nice chap on various forums although I’d never met him. Condolences to his family. 

Booked 👍

Let’s not forget how most of us pay for our Sunday shoots.....with cash. Lots of cross contamination possible here, that’s not an overreaction it’s a reality.  We all need to be careful, responsible and follow the advice on the NHS website.  Stay safe everyone, if we have to have a break it...

Excellent news!

I did Garlands yesterday too....some tricky stuff on yesterday, finished on a disappointing 79. Thing is there were some tricky targets on which caught me out....but if I’d hit all the ones I should have I’d have been mid 80’s. Mr Husthwaite won on 94, but scores overall were quite suppressed by...

Very nice, was it a total refinish or just a wax?

So far so good, everything has worked as it should...nothing has fallen off, failed to open, failed to close, failed to eject or failed to go bang and it it ‘feels’ more premium than my old 692 did from memory. I said this before, it feels like a DT11 that’s been on a diet. In fact the only...

Hi all  For sale, two pairs of Pilla Vigilante Shooting glasses. The first pair is fitted with a 45MX lens the second pair fitted with a 22N lens I bought these new about 3 weeks ago, worn them once only so they are in mint/as new condition  Only selling as I’ve discovered I need a distance...

Doveridge today for the first of their Winter Series. Sensible targets in the main but a couple of stands badly setup into the sun. Very busy probably due in part to Grange being cancelled. Dropped too many silly ones and finished on 81. 

Having owned and shot both they are very different.

I’ve owned all of the OP’s options.....like most of us I’ve chopped and changed over the years....but less so over the last 3-4 as I realised it was me and not the gun that was missing I bought a 692 when they very first came out, nice gun but I had several of the early reported problems with...

Did my first registered on Sunday with the 694 (only the second time I’d shot it) at Garlands set up by Steve Lovatt. It is very easy to drive, recoil is smooth and it behaved impeccably. Went around with 3/8 and 5/8 and finished on 86. I might swap the pad over for the slightly longer one that...

Garlands today...reasonable 86 with the new 694. More gun time needed. 

694 stock and forend very unlikely to fit a 692...you may be able to get a good stock maker to make it fit but I’d rather put the money into a bespoke stock if that’s all your unhappy with. 

Very happy with mine but it’s only had 100 shells through it as the weathers been so lousy since I bought it. It feels much more premium than the 692 I had when they first came out. The 694 is very smooth to shoot, recoil is well controlled and the stock dimensions are nice. The chequering...

I know balance is very subjective and personal, but for what it’s worth my 694 balances on the pin out of the box which suits me personally as I have quite a forward supporting hold. 

Very wet out today so couldn’t shoot again...driving me nuts. Thought I’d upload a few photos  On the close up of the action you can see the small steel disc that retains the ejectors as I mentioned earlier. The full Lloyd Pattison review is also up on YouTube now....he seems to like it.

The ejectors on the 694 are totally different to the 692, much simpler, cant be switched on/off.....very much like the ejectors on any other Beretta 686/682/DT etc....only difference is they are held in place by a small ‘Aspirin’ sized steel button that locates in a groove in the ejector...
