Buy recommendations O/U recommendations & store
Hey everyone!
Currently shoot trap/skeet with a beretta 686 SP, looking to upgrade.
Nothing wrong with the gun, ready to hand down to family member looking to get started.
Currently looking at around the 6-8k for budget.
Not opposed to used.
Which models would you recommend shouldering and which stores are a must to check out? Located in Ontario
Thanks!

I'd second both current comments below.
Look at the Beretta 694, or Caesar Guerini Summit
u/justforlul CG are doing demo days soon, Barrie Gun Club on Aug 15th, Toronto Trap & Skeet on Aug 16th - Both days have CG reps on site
As for retailers, Shooters Choice, Al Flahertys or Gobles,

See how the 694 or 825 feels. Maybe buy a used blaser f3

I was actually thinking about a used blaser. Can’t seem to find much online for availability.

Reliable has a used . Ask for serial number to find out the year. Apparently after 2017 is what you want.

Beretta 694 DLC if you can find one in stock anywhere. The regular 694 also fine. It looks like dealers have sales going on Berettas this month. 12% off. Dante Sports has regular 694 with Bfast stock for $6k

Your primary concern should be fit.
I recommend you go see what fits you, then buy that. You'll shoot best with it.

Beretta 694.
I've been happy with mine.
I would say Al Flaherty is your best bet for Beretta
Whatever fits you will be the best. Browning doesn't fit me so I went with the 694.
Have about 30k rounds through it no issues

I’d recommend checking out the Beretta 694 or some of the Cesar Guerinis. As for stores, G4C, Tenda, and Al Flaherty’s are a few of my favs.
