    Have not seen or even held one, but it's the successor to the 682. So going by that it'll be in the €3K or higher mark.

    I'm liking the design and styling of it, but prefer darker timber myself. however if it's as good or better than the 682 then it's definitely a gun to aim for (no pun intended).

    Yeah it looks good in fairness, the forcing cones are much longer than the 682 and it has made some other technical advances over the 682 rather than it just being another facelift model. It allegedly puts it closer in tech-spec to a DT11 than a 682. Courtlough have a few of them. They'll let you have a look and feel of one if you're interested in buying but I don't know where you might get a shot of one. They do look the business but I haven't heard and reviews from the lads in the club yet, I'll stick with my 682 Gold E for now 😉

    Patrick Carley Firearms has one. I had a hold of it briefly. Very nice, pointable beautiful gun. Thats what you would expect from Beretta for the price.
    I will stick with the Gold e for now but lovely gun...

    Thread over on Shotgunworld said it was basically a SV10 Prevail with a few cosmetic differences. Some weren't too thrilled about the rubber on the top lever either, questioned whether it would tear over time.

    Prefer darker timber myself as Cass said. Some pics of the woodwork online make it look like they made the stock from floorboards;

    One of the lads got one recently and it is a nice piece of kit. He has the adjustable stock and 30" barrels. The adjustable stock is important as it shoots quite low (for me anyway). Swings beautifully and is very well balanced. I shoot a DT10 and found the 692 light in comparison (even though there is not much between them on paper). Still think I would prefer my DT10 for the extra weight.
