Beretta 694 or DT-11 DT11 for DTL Trap - light build body type

[Dcup]

Looking for opinions on whether I should buy a DT 11 or 694.

I'm 5 foot 8, fairly light build with small hands. But a big personality.d

Currently have a silver pigeon for DTL with an adjustable comb. 

Love the SP but am looking for something with more sex appeal ie Dt-11 or 694... Thoughts?

Both are good guns, the 694 seems to be getting good reviews but a dt10 or dt11 are just another kick up I would say. Don't be fooled into thinking a dt11 will be too heavy for you, weighed my dt11L 32" sporter the other night and it weighs dead on 8lb with no weights in it and about 8lb 5 oz with the stock weights in, so it's no great heavy weight.

Good info - thank you

Mrs Jasper ( 5 foot 3 . Tiny hands)  uses a 32" Dt11 adjustable comb with good effect on sporting clays.  No probs with weight. The thing shoots so smooth also. She loves it.

Would only change it for an L or eell .. Dream on. 

Jasper.

Try a Miroku MK38 Trap.

Not a bad idea. Not sure if "sex appeal" is the right moniker, but there was definitely some attraction when I saw this DT10 EELL. At less than six grand euro (at the time of writing, bids were at less than 3k when i first saw it), it sure is a beauty. Curious to see what it'll sell for as there tends to be a spike in bids before closing.

I have had dozens of Beretta's over 30 plus years, i have had 2 std 10s and a dt10x. The eell is in a different league, it shares nothing with a std 10 other than the name. They handle totally differently and although the quality of a std 10 is exceptional the eell just oozes quality in both workmanship and handling, trigger pull is fabulous. I have shot tens of thousands through it at trap and even used it on driven pheasant and have had no problems with it whatsoever

I would think a second hand DT 11 could be had for little more than a new 694.

I have a DT10, and love it. Good ones come in around the £3k mark.

The newer DT10s have BERETTA in capitals on the action, the older ones have it in lower case.

Try and get a newer one. 

I would love a DT11eell Black edition....and then I saw the price....£17.5k.
