And being in a much smaller market here, I wonder when I'll see one at a dealer let alone seeing a "try gun" somewhere. Not that I am looking to spend that kind of cash, but I would like to handle one to see if it is a step up from the DT's (and if so, why). My expectation is that improvements...

If you do, let us know how you got on. They're few and far between here and certainly not available on the S/H market. Not sure which 'problems' it has set out to solve from the very solid DT platform, but it does look the part. However, at the price range you may do well to look at more custom...

I had no idea of their pricing on selling stuff, but I have bought bits of guntrader in the past. 15 quid per month per ad is insane: we have similar (albeit smaller) sites at my end of the channel and most are free to advertise for private individuals, with a small fee to the site in case of sale.

Exactly what Bebo says. You are shooting a pattern of pellets at a moving clay target, whilst moving the gun. The question of OU barrel divergence is wholly academic, and moot for the actualities of shooting clay. Ymmv, but your time may be better spent on practicing, even if dry mounting at home.

Hi Dave, I think that you are likely flinching in anticipation of recoil. Flexing your muscles in order to "catch" the abrupt movement that you are expecting to result from pulling the trigger. Many muscles involved and likely you dip forward a bit, thus aiming lower when you do this. While...

Hehehehe. Best driving directions - choosing your route through the country from one watering hole to the next :)

That's certainly decent if not better. With a lot of the Beretta stocks, there is a lot to gain from properly sealing the pores and taking the time for a higher quality hand finish: I'd venture the above would look outright pretty with a high gloss finish (as is my preference). The better the...

I'd go with emails explaining your query to a number of dealers, who you think have the 694's in numbers. Anyone who cares to respond well, is also more likely to provide good service post purchase. Second, there is always nicer wood available somewhere, so I wouldn't think to hard about this if...

Ten years on, things may have changed since then. Record attempt at reviving a thread though :)

Pick a pretty colour. At this stage that will be just about as relevant as their alleged velocity and consistency. Take lessons to develop a proper stance, mount and have someone look at your gunfit and technique. Then shoot as much you can to instill those habits - all better things to worry...

Not sure as to who does what and why on Youtube, but speaking for myself I definitely follow a routine for each stand and each shot. When shooting singles where only one shot is allowed in competition, I would usually practice those with one barrel as well - approaching everything as you would...

One wonders what a "small uplift" is in Beretta-custom pricing. At 20-ish grand for a gun, I would expect it to already include the very best selection of wood and an all expenses paid trip to come and have it fitted :cool: I'm with Ben on this one and don't see the SL2 persuading many people...

Have you tried sending them an e-mail? Many American businesses in the trade have a 'don't need the hassle' policy in view of ITAR regulations, but some are willing to actually consider the facts of the matter and ship non-regulated parts abroad when asked.

This. Moisture of any kind, regardless of origin. Too many rainy days here.

Luckily not - just poor grammar. I admit this could well have happened since, as I don't remember the last time I took any of my previous vests out of the cupboard.

Yep, in my case the Italian sizes were on the (much) smaller end of the vanity-sizing-spectrum as well. I guess Italians are just differently shaped? When I started out, I bought a cotton Beretta vest - which I then left in the cupboard over the summer and turned to a mesh vest. I tried a few...

If there was a Pirelli calendar of clay shooting.... :D. Good looking gun as said before. Personally I'd consider having the barrel hanger nitrided, but not sure whether that works on titanium. As for the trigger, I understand the feeling. I shoot a gun with skeletonised Ergosign stock, not for...

Not my wife, but ymmv.

Well done. Looks great! You could show the chokes part though, as per the title ;)

If that's the way forward in the (near) future, I wouldn't be hesitant in trying the blue-pen. The blueing does offer some protection, whereas bare metal will be more vulnerable if any moisture would make its way in between the barrel-hanger and the barrel. Although from your efforts I am under...
