Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum, and new to the O&U world. I have some trap/skeet shooting done with my SBEII, but i am not an expert at all... so...
I always wanted to get a nice OU, and my eyes were set to the 692 for a few years now, i had it compared to a few other options from beretta and browning, and, from the shouldering perspective, 692 is the best - my SBEII drop is adjusted to the absolutely flat rib view, and 692 gives me that right out of the box... So, as soon as I decided to get one, beretta came up with 694 that offers a few upgrades that sounds like a winner. I went to the store to look at it, and, to my great disappointment, the drop on 694 is less then on 692! It just does not fit, i see too much of a rib. I did some research, and, as I understand, this setup is suitable for the trap shooters when the clay goes up/away and gun would shoot higher to compensate that.
Heve 2 questions please:
1. Is it true that i can order 694 with lower drop? What are the numbers for 692?
2. Are they going to drop 692 model, or it is just in parallel? - I came across of a nice "old stock" (3-5 y/o) brand new 692 for a good price - did 692 went through any mods over the years that i would need to pay attention to?
Thank you very much!!
