I am about to open Pandora’s box but here goes....
I am looking to upgrade my shotgun to a 690 Series Beretta and can’t seem to get my head wrapped around all the models and where they “fit” in the grand scheme of things.
I am going to use it as an all around clay gun with emphasis on Sporting Clays, Skeet and 5 stand. I do dable in Doubles Trap and Bunker trap but not as much. That said I have shot my sons 686 Onyx Pro Sporting and really like it. I currently shoot a Browning Citori CX and have been happy but the balance and fit needed some tweaking.
I want a functional gun that can be easily serviced at most gunsmiths. I don’t need the scrolling or fancy finish. I’d rather pay for performance. That’s not a problem with Berettas that I’ve found.
While I recognize the 690 series has changed over time, can anyone explain the changes, improvements, detractions that have been made from the 690-695? If the 690 series is not a genuine improvement, should I just trick out 686 or find a used ?.
Thoughts??????
