I'm still playing Mega Millions and Powerball. Hoping one day to be able to afford one of those stunners. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. My envy grows, in a good way. 😉
I love my Berettas, I own 5 of them from the A400 to the 682 and 686. The SO series are super beautiful and I would love to buy one except the price of it. If I was 40 years younger, hell I’d finance this beauty and be happy with just this on Shotgun. Thank you for showing us these beautiful shotguns and in action. Cheers
Top draw Johnny, your enthusiasm nows bounds,having had the pleasure of shooting both the SO6 in 12bore and a SO10 in 20bore I most definitely now where your coming from. Keep making the flims look forward to them always 👍.
Been to West London Shooting School as a guest of it. Amazing targets, well versed puller / instructors. I did not have any problems with their towers as I have shot towers that were 50 plus meters up and shot many a pheasant , way way up there. The most difficult stations were on the bordering hills with curling targets. Well worth the premium experience !!
Beautiful guns.. Need to find 50k. Stunning gun room. Would happily sit all day in the corner of the shop in a loverly comfy leather chair and just soak up the atmosphere 😍
Pre covid guns from Beretta were spot on, 2019 onwards had 3 DT11’s (EELL) and nothing but issues, manufacturing defects, unfinished guns and QC issues from Italy. Then having to deal with GMK was like pushing water uphill. Did consider the SO but felt I’d get better support elsewhere. If you find a good one word of advice keep it and never sell it. Think you all know where I ended up. Great vid JC
@@Vusseyv I did, and being honest, reluctantly switch brands due to frustration as mentioned above. The service from Alan Rhone has been top draw, cannot fault him and Irwin for his help support and knowledge, plus the gun is incredible as well. There’s an arrogance around Beretta Italy that’s simply unacceptable regarding obvious QC issues. Such a shame as I genuinely loved my DT11. I simply could live with the breakdowns. Cost me many comps in 2022, pretty much lost a year in faffing about. K80 Is a different animal and it has take. A good few thousand round to adapt, scores now staring to improve over and above what is shit with my DT11. Don’t forget they’re only tools to do a job, some are just more blingy than others. Beautiful to own but they all do the same, if pointed in the right place. 😉
I've never owned a "bad" Beretta. Years ago I bought a Beretta Xtrema for duck hunting that had a jamming problem, but it was solved by Beretta so no problem. I currently own 4 Beretta shotguns and they're all fine. Of late I've been reading what seems to be an inordinate amount of complaints about the decline of Beretta shotguns over the last few years. I wonder if this is real or not? They sell a lot of guns and like all manufacturers, they're human and some problems are going to get by the QA/QC, but are they really slipping or not?
Well, I’ve been a Beretta dealer now for 26 years, only real issues I’ve seen of late are front beads coming off of carbon fiber ribs, and A300 field guns being a we bit finicky on function with certain ammo types. Otherwise I would honestly say they’ve been the most consistently good performing gun brand out there for shotguns.
Even at relatively high prices there's only monoblock construction and I assume that demi-bloc isn't offered. I'm only looking at a computer screen but defects in wood-to-metal fit seem evident. The consistently proud fit of wood to forend iron detracts seriously from the appearance of the guns.
Thought my SO6 EELL was a 1G1, but with the ducks on the right side, maybe it’s a different grade? Either way, it handles sublimely. As you know though, SO’s have fragile stocks at the head; lots of wood taken out means less strength. My neighbour has many an SO6/9/10 passing through his workshop in need of stock work; mostly alterations, but quite often repairs. It’s always nice to drop in and check the pairs out. Well worth selling the wife’s kidneys for….
La verdad que BERETTA es el Mercedes benz de las escopetas y no tiene NADA QUE ENVIDIAR A LAS MEJORES INGLESAS. Esa es una Opción Extraordinaria para aquellas personas que no quieren o no pueden gastar las fortunas que se necesita para comprar una escopeta inglesa . Y les puedo asegurar que digo la verdad. Hoy en día la mecánica armero llegó a un punto tal que da lo mismo. TODAS SON BUENAS ESO VA A GUSTO DEL ADQUIRIENTE NADA MAS
Talking of Italian Shotguns, have you ever com across Seter (Italian) shotguns? I can’t find nothing online about them. A friend has one which is a SxS in 12 guage. Any thoughts?
@@ajwilliamsguitars not sure what to tell you, 30+ years in the gun industry personally and I’ve never heard of Seter, nor has the blue book of gun values either as a maker or a model of gun.
@jimhans1. I was mistaken. It’s not Italian but Spanish… not doubting your knowledge at all. Maybe now I’ve identified it’s Spanish that may help me find more info. Thankyou!
@@ajwilliamsguitars Spanish gun makes a difference, it was manufactured by Antonio Bilbatua in Eibar Spain. One of about 200 small gun makers there at the time. Nothing comes up as to how many guns they made or any other info, which means it’s one of the smaller makers from the region. Seter was their trademarked model name, and yes, it’s a unintentional misspelling of Setter from their original language. Without seeing the bottom of the barrels I can’t give you any dates. But it was likely a 1960s to 1970s import. There were MANY Spanish guns brought in at the time.
how much of shooting a specific expensive firearm is just in your mind and not really because of the firearm… you’re a great shot its a bad musician blames the instrument
I just don't see the money in them at all, nice guns but 30k ?? As for hand work there isn't anymore hand work in a top grade beretta than a base model miroku besides engraving hours, I'd take 4 president grade miroku's over 1 high grade beretta
I'm not going to lie to you. A lot of these things all look the same to me, I don't mean like on the shelf you just showed, I mean like... A lot of the Berettas and brownings and big name. Double barrels looked the same to me. A hell of a lot the same. I guess that's why I kind of do like the Connecticut shotguns. I know there's probably an American aesthetic involved, but they don't look like, they don't look like everybody else. There's other companies too, I'm just saying a lot of the big boys, all kind of look similar. But maybe this is just a me thing. I'm sure the people who don't feel that way actually really like this video, I don't mind it at all, I'm just saying I bet you this is really a useful video for them. I know Beretta has a huge following.
Copy of the half a century old soviet OU shotgun design (MTs-08) with a little more bling and a lot less reliability. TsKIB SOO MTs shotguns were hand made masterpieces capable of firing half a million rounds without problems.
