briant_az Report post Posted May 2, 2015 I've shot a beretta 686 for the last 3 months. I've shot it a lot in a short amount of time. I shoot a flat of shells a week at the minimum. I don't shoot skeet or trap but between sporting clays, tournaments and 5 stand I have probably shot close to 5k rounds. Have had zero issues with it and it shoots awesome. I know that's not a great amount of time or large amount of rounds for a quality over/under. I have a friend who has the same gun as me and it has shot well over 100k rounds through it and never had a single issue. I would not hesitate to buy another one!

briant_az Report post Posted May 2, 2015 And the wow factor is in the perazzi, kreighoff, blaser type guns. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted May 2, 2015 Browning or Beretta. You get what you pay for. Hard to beat the Browning 725 or the Beretta 686. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatrickJr Report post Posted May 2, 2015 For a lady I would try to find a browning citori in 20 gauge that isn't too beat up. 12 gauges always seem to be too much for the majority of ladies. I would look for good beretta for yourself. 682 Gold E sporting will work well for all 3 games and a good used on will go for 3k to 3.5k. But if you want to blow your retirement, then go ahead and get a Perazzi, Kreighoff, Kolar, or Blaser. A gun that I have always drooled over is a Beretta 692 sporting, and they go for new at 6k. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wellhead Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Beretta 686 or the 687 are the same guns just cosmetic differences. Love my 696 and the wood isn't as bulky as a Citori. Also have a Franchi Sporting and like it almost as much as the beretta. It's a nice shooter and just a few $$'s less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
