too_pointer Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I know I have been talking about a new shotgun for awhile, well, I got it !! It is a Beretta 686 Covey, 20 ga. I tried like heck to post a pic, but 2 different sites were not working, I will post a pic soon. It is a special run by Beretta, they only made 750 of the 20 ga. and 750 of the 12 ga. I think it will hold it's value. Mine has quail on both sides and the bottom of the reciever in gold, plus some nice ingraving. It is really light, I shot it today some, and even for a 20, it pushes you some. It came with a recoil pad and a solid pad, plus a carrying case, 5 chokes, wrench, and oil. Thanks AJ for suggestion on looking at a Beretta, it seems to be a nice gun 1 thing I noticed is the barrells are canted to the right off the stock, and I'm a leftie No respect at all for us lefties LOL. Anywho, I am more pleased than the wife too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! Sounds good! You should be able to get left handed wood for that gun. Call Beretta or send them an e-mail and see if they will swap stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hangunnr Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! Mike, You really need to send that gun down to me for a field test. I promise I'll only run a couple (thousand ) rounds through it. Hope you enjoy it. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! Thanks everybody ! I'm taking it Friday for some grouse. I hope to see if it can ( or me ). hit anything LOL. It will sure kill me to lug it through the thick brush but after a scratch or so, it will be broke in too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! Your actually going to hunt with it? Nice gun, but Ill still take my Browning! Hey in that one pic it says, "1 of 750" Did you actually get the number 1 gun??? But then at the bottom of the reciever it says 686? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! [ QUOTE ] ...But then at the bottom of the reciever it says 686? [/ QUOTE ] The 686 designates the model number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! Life, the "1 of 750" just means it is one of those made. I plan on e-mailing Beretta with the serial # to see if they can tell me what number it actually is. By the way, didn't see any grouse at all.! I did put a small scratch on it though LOL.

strubedog Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Re: I got my new Beretta !! If you have one of the better gunsmiths in your area he can bend the stock and fit it to you. I plan on taking mine to Hugh Lomas to get mine fitted. I love my Beretta Ultralight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: I got my new Beretta !! I hunt around Grayling, Frederic area, and sometimes down around Baldwin. Birds have been really spread out the last few years, I guess they are in their "down" cycle Maybe this fall will be better too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
