Will try but otherwise I’ll have one fitted - at the same time I get the wood refurbished.If you are going down the 682 Gold E route try to get one with a adjustable stock.I have two 682 Gold E guns both with adjustable stocks one 32" barrels and one 30" barrels.
Used the 32" for nearly 15 years now without a single problem.Build quality is as good as it gets as it was sold as a competition gun.It should come with 5 Optima extended chokes.
Good luck with your search.
Thanks for the feedback bud.The value of the gun is dependent on condition. If you can get a more experienced shooter have a look at the gun and make sure that a comprehensive warranty is being offered. You need to ensure that the gun comes with the original case, chokes and other accessories. If you wish to haggle on the price check on Guntrader to get a feeling for sale prices. There is usually some room for negotiation especially since it is a cash sale. You do have to be realistic and remember that you are buying a £3k gun and that the gun shop owner needs to make some profit. A 682E in mint condition will not stay on his rack for long so do your homework and make your decision. Good luck!
Thanks.You really need to get it thoroughly inspected by someone who really knows their way around a Beretta. It is difficult to tell much from the video other than cosmetically it looks fine apart from the wood being a bit plain. Get it checked especially since no warranty is being offered. If that is the original case then the 682E will be one of the early guns. This can be checked. There will be two letters stamped on the barrels that will give you the date of manufacture. Once you find the two letters( usually stamped on the bottom of the chamber) the date code can be checked on the internet. Condition is far more important than age.
