    Wanted Wanted - Beretta S687 Adjustable stock

    The DT11 action is wider by quite a bit compared to 68xx series actions, so a DT11 stock is not going to fit. I also doubt you'll find a stock from that era that has a factory adjustable comb, but there are likely spare stocks to be found for not a lot of money. I wouldn't hesitate to have one...

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    I can see how the shotgun one can have play and point out the barrel less than straight, but I would have thought that through a rifle barrel it couldn't really beam out of alignment, unless you have a pretty big caliber in really short barrel... No pun intended, I promise.

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    Hard to tell, but from the pictures it looks like the rear "ramp" up to the rib sits left of where it should be. Either way, wholly unacceptable for it to leave a store or factory like that.

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    That seems like a lot of distance, but maybe true if you look at the imaginary center of bore-line. As we shoot shot, in reality the spread will only be marginally different between top and bottom barrel and flight paths will overlap way sooner than at 40 yrds from bore.

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    I believe mine are like that indeed, but it's been a while since using them last. I don't really understand why you would want to pull the trigger though, as the laser is on until you take the cartridge out anyways.

    Pete Blakeley's patented target evaluation system.

    Grandiose. - EDITED - More to say but I agree with Salopian that we'd best keep things to clay-shooting, even if I don't agree with the comparison.

    Been away..................................quite a while.

    As an owner of a DT11 (and a 692) and shooting regularly with a mate who owns a 694, I concur with the above (especially on triggerpulls), and would add that the Detachable Trigger (what's in a name, haha) is a big plus in terms of cleaning and maintenance. Unfortunately it rains too much over...

    Pete Blakeley's patented target evaluation system.

    Coming along well enough, thank you for asking. Another fine display of your impeccable manners, for all to see. Have a great day.

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    I used those cartridges, and closing the gun is not an issue with mine. I also did the same thing as MartinJ described, as taking out the slack is necessary (if it has any). The rotation should show well enough whether it isn't beaming out in a tilted way. Edited to add: I bought mine on a...

    Pete Blakeley's patented target evaluation system.

    We're still quite a ways off from April 1st, though. If this is to be taken as a dig on BH's eye dominance rail (given the exchange in the LH gun topic), I find that hard to relate to you applauding the "behaviour please" post by @Jan Powell .

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    Keep us posted while we hope for you getting back a perfect gun.

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    If it is still a considered purchase, I'd steer clear. If you are the owner, do contact Beretta and see what they say about warranty work: That much horizontal difference can't be in spec. The 694 hasn't been on the market too long so hopefully you can find a solution from them or the seller...

    Beretta 694 barrel regulation - can it be adjusted?

    Out of curiosity, how did you test this? A couple of questions come to mind: -Was the gun fixed on the benchrest? -How was point of aim determined? -How many shells through each barrel? The low 4" vs low 6" doesn't put me off that much, as there is an inch between the center of bore already...

    Beretta 694 Trigger Pull Weight

    I have a mate that should now be in 5k+ rounds on his 694, I'll ask if the pulls got lighter. Without taking a stone to your sears, cleaning and oiling all the moving parts of your trigger mechanism may have a bit of result. I know that very small alterations to the sears can be made, but would...

    Fore end grip

    Personally I don't mind most of the above. The type of shooter that misses clays all by themselves but then appears to blame this on others or at least on having been wound up by others, is another matter. And I have found myself guilty of this as well - so I just try to get annoyed as little as...

    Winchester 101XTR Ejector timing

    That's a quite a few parts indeed, so good luck and I hope it works out well (and solves the issue). As per Westley's advice: correctly fitting screwdriver bits are a must. I've taken metalwork out of a number of forends and in most cases the assemblies were self contained so I've never had bit...

    ASE Gold Refurb

    Since Brexit? I wouldn't start. VAT and import duties alone will be a burden to deal with, having to explain it is being imported for repairs only to be exported again... Not sure about the German system but in NL I'd venture the gun would also have to be registered in the national database for...

    Time for a treat

    Without wanting to sound like a broken record, a 694 is a great piece of kit. Also Beretta's have a major plus in my books, as parts and accessories are so easily available from their e-store, which is not the case for most other brands. I like having the relevant spares for the expected...

    Mid level Competition cartridge

    I am amongst that sort, although I don't know whether I've had the pleasure of meeting you. As you have stated, any cartridge that produces nice breaks on what I shoot them at will work, so between cartridges of similar performance I do look at how tidy the barrels are after shooting. There are...

    Winchester 101XTR Ejector timing

    Not sure about the system the Winchesters use, but I would assume that excess wear would have the ejectors activating earlier rather than late. Could just be that the barrels don't "drop" to where the ejectors are activated for another reason entirely. You appear to be saying that it takes a...
