Walking around my local straw bale...what do I see in a rack..OOH 692!!
Friendly chap sees me eyeing it up, lets me shoot the stand with it.
I straighted the stand.
Turns out that this stand was one of the two "hard" stands.
Clearly the 692, not only looks awesome, swings nice and balances great, but will also turn you into GD over night.
I want one, I will get one.
That is all.

I think that takes you beyond the lust stage!
One of the lads on The Owls team has just got a 30" version and I have to say, even as a Beretta-ist it felt very nice. Well balanced and chunkier than the gold E, it felt a lot less "whippy". not sure about the rubber top lever though.
Right, I'm off to wash my hands in acid after typing that and say 15 hail marys to the almighty MK38 :lol:

I had a mare as I'm still using my 20 bore game gun whilst the "new" 682 Gold E is back with GMK. Been there 5 weeks now and I'm getting a tad fed up.

I saw you from a distance! It was stand 2 opposite the hut. Fast left to right quartering, then a fast right to left looper thing.
Don't forget you can call GMK and see what is happening. Really,the gun should have been replaced if it was not fit for purpose from new.
Call 01489 579999 and ask for Paul in the workshop, he is very good.

Because i've only just got the 682 Gold E, quite like it and (wait for it) invested in a few Muller chokes. 2xU1, 2xU2, 1xU3 and 1xU4. I believe Beretta changed the chokes from the 682 to the 692?He doesn't have a 692, he has a 682 Gold E I think. Good point actually;
Richard...why don't you tell them to keep it and get a 692?
Thanks for the contact info, I may give the guy a ring.

Did any of you take out the extended 10yr warranty on your 692 and if so how much extra was it? I am assuming that GMK would stipulate you have to have it serviced at certain intervals and at Beretta registered gunsmith. So if that is something you had to do annually it would cost a rather large perecentage of the guns value anyway so makes it less attractive.

Wow I really did expect it to be more like £100 plus or at least based on the list price of the gun in question. I should have checked their website first as just found the link below. The T&C’s they mention are not provided so I have emailed them asking for a copy. But £45 on a 3 grand gun is a no brainer even if they do stipulate regular service intervals and must be done by a Beretta Registered Gunsmith (which I am sure they will).

Yup £45 for 10 year warranty.
- There is no service schedule
- There are no "Beretta Trained Gunsmiths" in the UK as far as GMK are concerned, they are it.
- If you want work done under warranty, the gun has to go to GMK.

I must admit I didn't bother with my 692...although I did register it for the free 3 year warranty.
I've bought a couple of new Berettas over the last few years and always sent the £45 off for the 10 year warranty, only to flog the gun 12 months later.
I'm hoping that wont be the case with the 692 of course....still loving it!
Any news on yours yet P1?

No I haven’t heard anything new since I was told shipment arrives 25th June and mine should be part of it. I take that to mean that’s when GMK expect it and will be a few days before mine actually arrives at the dealer. But I will be chasing my dealer first thing on the 26th to confirm the shipment arrived and if my 692 was on it. I am not getting my hopes up but have been checking Guntrader and Gunstar to see if any new ones are in circulation but nothing other than 30” and 32” right handers, non-adj stock.
