As the owner of a 525SL i really like it. Ive also really liked how solid and hard wearing laminates are. Shrugs off bad weather and clay fragments without any bother, and the density makes it very soft shooting. May have to get this one..
Love the aesthetics. Currently run a 690 black and have been looking to upgrade to a 694 but this might deserve a hard look. Now if they’d made a 694 in this aesthetic I’d be all over it.
So Beretta now offers five levels of sporting guns. I'm very happy with my 694 but I could see myself buying one of these as well. Looking forward to your full review.
I am a Beretta fan and only shoot Beretta shotguns. The quality of the shotguns is very good. What I miss are nice wooden stocks. The Turkish manufacturers often have nicer stocks even for cheaper shotguns.
I’ve noticed that you can get a Franchi with some seriously beautiful wood for about half the price of a beretta. I still prefer the berettas but if you’re looking for nice wood and still getting a nice Italian shotgun under the Benelli umbrella, it’s a good choice!
Browning have three laminated 525s. Beretta needed to release a laminate to get a share of that market. Looking forward to seeing the road test. It's a fair wedge pricier than the 525 SL and XS Pro laminate.
I have a 694 pro with the TSK stock and have been thinking about changing it. I got the email from Beretta about this last week and instantly fell in love with the looks. I really like the black wood and the orange detailing. Thanks for the first look and the pricing info 👍 Looking forward to seeing how it shoots and handles.
Laminate/plastics sit well on cheap semi autos, slapping them on a 686/525 and jacking prices up is laughable, this is why guns like yildiz pro are gaining so much popularity
Can't wait for the full review. I have a 686 evo as my first gun and have been pondering on a new gun. Think this could be the one. Look forward to your shooting opinion to maybe seal the deal. Although not sure about a laminate stock wonder if they will do a walnut option in the future.
The wood I see on examples of the 686 Sporting looks like pallet-grade walnut to me, and whenever I look at a faux grain "upgraded" one I get preoccupied with figuring out which part is fake. This is an honest, eye-catching and rugged solution. The logos look fine, but I could do without the lines milled in the sides. If I was looking to spend $3k it'd get consideration.
If you’re using a lot of shells practicing for competitions then £3000 is probably money well spent. But for me being poor I will probably stick with my mk38 that seems to keep working.😊
Umm I like the idea of it but not the price I think some will like it but for a bit more money you could get into a 694 if it was priced at a few hundred pounds more then a silver pigeon it would be good value.
How does the action weight compare to the original 68x series? For example the first gen 682´s? I´ve always found the old 68x better handling than the post 2000 ones.
This looks great I wonder how the trap one will be to handle as I have a 694 at present in sporting but looking to get a Trap gun and Im torn between a New 694 Trap or the New 688?
I think this gun will suit a lot of people. However is that a new Tudor FXD GMT on your wrist? I’d be equally interested in your take on the FXD range??
Well spotted. I like tool watches and the Pelagos is lovely, but I had decided to pass until they released the new GMT. It’s a stunning piece in the wrist.
Personally I don’t care much for firearms that look like they came from a brothel. Nothing wrong with a laminate stock on a Duck gun, but even then they aren’t for me. I want my pump to look as close to a model 12 as possible, my auto an A5 and my O/U a Boss and SxS a Westley Richards drop lock. Guns are like dogs. The farther away you get from looking like a wolf, the lesser they become. But that’s just me, and I’d be lousy at marketing 😁👍🏼

Beretta always offer good value. Think this will be a winner
You can't be serious???
@ Serious about what?
@@John-uo1qf beretta offering good value? A 686 is overpriced, this is a cheaper made 686 and is closer to a 694 in price. Thats not value
@@fullchoke01 Curious what you shoot and at what?
Don't have a shotgun yet and haven't really started doing the research but that one looks fantastic to me!
I thank that a nice piece of kit.
Looking forward to seeing the main view 👍
Functional. Looks good. The back of the action stippling looks like the SL2. Thanks!

Beautiful gun!
I really enjoy the way it sounds!
I think it's a good price, on a first impression!
Great no nonsense video , what about a Beretta blue and gold graphics?
Good first look. Interested to know your thoughts after you shoot one. Thanks for sharing

Great video thanks from Ireland
🇺🇲👍🏻
Looks fantastic. Not sure that the relatively nominal upgrades with a laminate stock is worth the $1k USD difference between a 686 and the new 688
How's the job hunt going, mate all the best Lawrence

Sorry, but laminate screams cheap, like late-WWII Mausers. I don't see mechanical upgrades making up the price difference.
Nice looking gun, I look forward to the review 😎😎😎😎😎
Why not just put laminate on the 690 sporter or is that what has happened 😂 looks fast orange again! Not negative just inquisitive!
How does the action weight compare to the original 68x series? For example the first gen 682´s? I´ve always found the old 68x better handling than the post 2000 ones.
Do like the look of that. There's a space in the cabinet next to the 692 🙄
This looks great I wonder how the trap one will be to handle as I have a 694 at present in sporting but looking to get a Trap gun and Im torn between a New 694 Trap or the New 688?
Same ......... waiting for the review
To late Browning got there first!
Looking forward to hopefully getting a look at one of these soon .Also is that the new Tudor GMT FXD on the wrist ?
@@scwazrh well spotted.
@ so many watch guys are into shooting as well.Should do a watch collection vid as well.
I think this gun will suit a lot of people. However is that a new Tudor FXD GMT on your wrist? I’d be equally interested in your take on the FXD range??
Well spotted. I like tool watches and the Pelagos is lovely, but I had decided to pass until they released the new GMT. It’s a stunning piece in the wrist.
What’s the length of forcing cones compared to 694? It’s a contender for me as was about to go s/h 694, let’s see how it shoots.
3:09 So when do we get to see your new gun? 😀 I know what it is, but still... 😁
Muy excelente arma amigos belleza
I really like that laminated wood
I REALLY like seeing these more modern/geometric design choices being tried BUT… it should be REAL wood at these prices
Not laminates
do they make it in left hand
Will it come in regular wood as opposed to laminate?
Doubt it.
Looks nice, probably £200-£300 too expensive vs an XS and the 694.
Love it
Is this placed above the 694 or under it? Is it above the 686 and the 692?
As I literally said in the video. It sits between the 686 and the 694. The 692 is out of production.
I like it.
Matches your shirt 😂
Nice but it's over price
I quite like it and I'm not really a big fan of most Berettas.
Thinking of buying a gun for sporting clays. Might this be suitable 🤔
Well, yeah.
Not a lot different then past models . Gun still goes bang when you pull the trigger. Plastic guns are the norm now, sad but true.
Don't like the stock ...what happens if you scratch it? At least with wood you can sand it and re oil it
This is better in that regard. Sand the typical mid-tier Beretta, and you'll take half the "grain" off it.
So, it has an aluminium action?
No, why would you think that?
@ Because you mentioned they used the action from the ultralite
@TheJeffpanda no I said it was based on the tooling from the ultralight.
@ oh ok my misinterpretation then!!
No bother man.
👌
They be optima hp not optima plus
Pass. I'm more of a blued steel & classical looks kind of guy. It's also a bit heavier than I prefer for clays.
Personally I don’t care much for firearms that look like they came from a brothel. Nothing wrong with a laminate stock on a Duck gun, but even then they aren’t for me. I want my pump to look as close to a model 12 as possible, my auto an A5 and my O/U a Boss and SxS a Westley Richards drop lock. Guns are like dogs.

Sorry not plastic laminate stock.
