Need help making a decision.

Just add.. Don't forget the Browning One in either trap or sporter.  

Which I'm seriously thinking of chopping in the DT10  for.

Another gun change on the books will you ever learn :angel:

Thanks for that, I've just sent them an email.

Have a look on their website and facebook page for pics of current guns.

I would buy both of them. As in 6 months time you will have changed to the other one anyway.

It always winds me up when someone in a forum asks for help deciding on a purchase as it's always a subjective decision, but now I've become that guy.

I've finally got my licence and can now seriously think about my first gun. I've been to look at a really nice second-hand MK38 sporter with Teague chokes and super nice grade 5 wood today. The thing is, I really like the Beretta 690 Black Edition which I can get new for a similar price but they don't usually have very nice wood.

So i guess my question is Miroku or Beretta. I do love nice wood but i also really like the Black action with orange highlights on the Beretta.

If anyone knows of a 690 with really nice wood around £2,000 then my decision would probably be made but I think that's pretty unlikely.

I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone with experience of both.

690 black for sale on pigeon watch . £1600. Looks nice on the pics and only Northampton so not too far for you.

Thanks for the heads up. The wood does look good compared to other 690's I've seen but not anywhere as nice as the MK38 I'm looking at. Great price though.  :smile:

Miroku simple far too many 690 specs going back with serious issues I wouldn't have one if they were giving them away with a free house.

 

[ips]

in all seriousness go miroku. I have never had one but never met anyone who couldn't shoot one. As balltrap says they appear to be very forgiving

I get the impression you're saying that through gritted teeth. If I'm honest, my end game plan is a DT11 (or DT12 if they're out by then) if I get good enough to justify the outlay.

I've seen 690's with a 10 year warranty from GMK. I'm not sure if this is a sign of confidence in the build quality or trying to alleviate quality concerns.

You might be able to find a DT10 in the price range you're looking at.  I paid 2k for mine.

You don't have to wait until you are good enough to get a good gun.  I'm sh*te and I shoot a Kreighoff.

Mine has the 10 year warranty, no problems so far at least!

Beretta have always offered ten year warranty.

Seems to be same Story throughout the country, every dealer I've tried will 'get back to me' nobody has got me a date yet!

Looks like I'll be doing the cut the cartridge off at the wad trick and packing it in the back in the mean time!

That link is direct to Beretta in Italy.

The "E-Store" is brilliant, decent prices and you usually get what you ordered the next day.

So there is the answer for both of you !

Buy a Miroku

 

[EdSolomons]

The ten year warranty is on all guns I think however it hasn't made it any easier for the owners guns who have broken! A lot of the time GMK aren't the fastest at sorting things either. Of course plenty people will have them with no issues but watching people shoot 7 days a week with all types of guns I can categorically say Berretta are having a nightmare with the new 690 specs. As mentioned above if you want a beretta get an old Dt10 or 682.

 

[Davy_B]

my local gun dealer said there is a Lot of DT11's being sent back aswell as 690s and 692's . i fired a DT11 last week and fell in love with it so i was asking him about one but he said they are best avoided for now and to look at a DT10 . anyone else hear that about the DT11's

 

[EdSolomons]

I know a lot of earlier DT11 had issues but not heard many recently
