    To Choke Or Not ?

    I have a little experience with the touch up pens, and I see them as a "tide over" until proper work can be done. First select the right one (matt won't work for a glossy finish blue and vice versa, of course). Then try a small dab on an area that isn't in view (such as under the foreend) by...

    Blued action vs Nitrided - Brownings

    Thank you for the above, but could you be a bit more elaborate as to why bluing "always" has your preference? I own a product or two that have nitride surfaces and I would dare suggest that it can take more abuse than traditional bluing.

    Starting back up what gun !?

    As an owner of several guns (🤷‍♂️) I will suggest finding one gun only that fits very well, makes you smile when you open the case and that does the job on what you shoot at. Shooting one gun only is likely better for your (rate of) improvement and as you will shoot one gun better than the...

    Browning XS Pro Sporter

    Ah, the elusive grail gun. Accept you may get close, but maybe not quite perfect. Lots of shooters spend time, money, cartridges and trigger-time on changing guns again (and again) when a new gun may not be the cure... Of course this keeps the trade alive, so I'm not complaining. At the start...

    Shooting vest recommendation

    Size matters are very personal, Bavarian ;)

    Rangers Vs Beretta competition Evo glasses

    Is there no way to snip the arms in half and jerryrig an extension, if you like them? Looks being secondary to performance and such... I went the Pilla route after a stint with a way cheaper alternative, but was lucky to have been offered some S/H lenses at Decathlon prices. Evens out the...

    MK38 32" vs Ultra XS 30"

    In that case, why choose? :cool:

    Fashionable skeet gun

    How two of those are single-barrel is beyond me. Fair mix of Perazzi, DT's, and K-guns among the top shots I see, with some changing often enough to keep the trade in business :cool:

    Do beretta pattern tightly

    First of all: Congratulations on reviving a six year old thread! Second: If you want to test spread, use a pattern plate. There's a reason they exist, and they will do the job with lasting visuals that you can actually compare. A pond isn't the same thing. As you'll be shooting downwards to...

    beretta 694

    If memory serves, the DT11 has the longest forcing cones, with the 692 and 694 taking the middle spot, with 690 and 68X drawing the shortest stick.

    Rule changes

    Question to you and to @Jan Powell - If you have pulled the trigger, is there a way to mechanically avoid the shot going off before release, or would you just have to release the trigger and accept that the gun fires?

    A Manuel Ricardo visit

    Very nice of you to write such a detailed review and report. Curious about the oiling steps you will have to do still, although I don't think you'll dodge VAT and import duties if it is shipped after the fact. If I am not mistaken any purchase made abroad (i.e. outside of your VAT zone) over a...

    Whats going on with the adverts....

    I've been told most of those ads are targeted based on the cookies various websites will leave on your device, so one wonders whether and how you have indicated a similar interest :) What would mystify me is the copper codex next to the 'object of interest'.

    Wanted Optima HP Flush Steel choke(s).

    Have you tried Beretta's own e-store? They have it all and delivery is very quick in my experience (EU mainland though). They frequently set up a discount if you buy two or more.

    Was this your K80 ?

    Good looking gun and I like the idea of such a buttcap. Given the screws, I'd take it off to have a replacement made in the same color/material. No idea who to ask though.

    B725 Protrap 32" vs CG Invictus V 30"

    Combining a day's shooting with working out your shoulders... and a proteine shake after shooting a slab :cool: I initially fancied a 725 PS but after shooting with one I considered it far too heavy for my liking. I now shoot a DT11 black that is a solid pound lighter. I think that I...

    B725 Protrap 32" vs CG Invictus V 30"

    I'd say that (1) you really, really have to try before you buy. While a 725 PS would still be available if you end up wanting to change back, you will then have parted with a bunch of cash. (2) Other than scratching an itch, what issue do you think the CG would "cure" in terms of your shooting...

    Checklist buying a second hand gun

    At sub-90 quid a go, for some brands such a purchase would be worth it for the multi-chokes alone :D

    Higher visibility front beads ?

    Now that would be a shooters' aid I'd pay for. No green light unless lead is perfect. Imagine the savings on cartridges! :D

    Higher visibility front beads ?

    I prefer the mid sized red fibre one on both my Beretta's (692 and DT11). Can't say I really notice the bead unless I consciously use it when comparing lead on repeated tries at a missed clay. I certainly don't find it obtrusive, but then I haven't tried much else on my own guns: had brief...
