I can only agree! This is a really good gun. I really like the palm swell and the overall feel in this gun! I cannot blame the gun for missing the clays😉.

[@stevenpaddybwoy]

Dangerous gun! If you pick it up you’ll buy it! It just feels so precise and neat with the palm grip. Fell in love instantly and literally shot the best I’ve ever shot first day out with it.

[@Bassingtons]

That made me smile. Honestly, the Beretta 694 is an amazing value proposition.

[@steveblack5952]

What did you shoot with before

[@DFox-ud3gx]

I bought the 694 B-Fast myself and I love it. I also brought the barrel weights to go with this gun and I made it perfict on the hinge pin. I do recommend the barrel weights If your using the gun stock weights.But that's just me I like a heavier gun. Happy New Year and a safe year everyone Be safe

[@inigoyu4895]

Where can we buy those barrel weights?tnx

[@petyt8]

As a beretta fan boy and the only brand I had owned and shot since I started shooting 14 years ago I couldn’t wait to purchase the 694! But when I got to shoot one I just couldn’t get on with it. The stock dimensions are horrendous in my opinion but that could be to do with shooting a 682 for 10 years. I’ve kept my 682 but unfortunately I’ve switched brands to zoli

A great gun with a great and historic pedigree, sometimes the top lever sticks on the woodwork it's an easy fix under the guarantee. Straight Shooting and a Happy Christmas 🎄⛄

Just bought a left handed 694 from Malmo Guns, Lancashire, cant wait to try it out

[@arunkhatri4840]

I’m interested in the 694 and a lefty too… does it have a left hand palm swell and left hand opening top lever? Browning 525 and 725 true left are the only guns I can find.

[@steveblack5952]

Oh dear. Left handed!!!!!! Ok im left handed. Thoughts?

Good vid I agree but I have the 694 / a DT 10 and a browning ultra Xs pro all great guns in there own right

[@chriscato1531]

Hi I wonder if you could help ? I have just bought one of these a 32 inch with an adjustable cone Ordered it through a dealer so it came from gmk direct to shop so it wasn't sitting on shelf in shop, picked it up a couple of days ago although all the blue film was on the barrels and I assumed that it was new the barrels needed cleaning you could tell that it had been shot ! Is this just test firing from the factory? Also the weights were already in the stock !! I thought that they would be inside the box not in the stock ? The gun looks new no scratches or marks , only asking as I have not owned alot os shotguns I am a rifle man really If you could put my mind at ease that this isn't a secondhand gun that would be great Many Thanks Chris

[@Bassingtons]

Dear Chris Many thanks for your enquiry. My 694 was on display at the shop and what you have described, is how my gun was received. So it is probably not fair to draw a comparison. However my 690 was ordered in directly from GMK and I watched the shop owner unbox the gun. The gun already had chokes in it and it was oiled on the ejectors and action. Also it had been test fired, the gun did not come with the weighting system. I have not seen your 694, but it sounds new. I hope this is of help to you. Bassingtons

[@dtonky8158]

I have a 694 and this is what mine came like to I would say it’s a test fire at either the factory or Gmk to make sure it’s all in working order

[@chriscato1531]

@@dtonky8158 Thanks for replying this makes me feel much better

[@temporaryaccount1039]

Dear chris it could have been tested by a uk proof house as part of a batch test . I think they still do that in Birmingham and london not sure they test every gun any more but take 1 out of every so many and check the proof

[@Lethal_Intent]

Don't worry all guns are proofed to able to be sold and are never cleaned throughly normally just a pull through. So almost everygun has some form of residue on the barrels.

[@mrsplashboy1]

Did you buy this gun in left hand and why did you change over from right hand Did you find it hard to adjust to shooting of you left

[@Bassingtons]

Yes, I bought the gun in left hand form. I changed over from shooting right handed because I have a dominant left eye. It took some time to adjust, but after 10 months of practice, I became a better shot than shooting right handed.

[@mrsplashboy1]

Is the beretta a true left hand gun, as in does the top lever open to the left I have the same problem as you with my left eye being my master eye and am thinking of changing over but afraid i won't manage it after buying a left hand gun and could get crucified when trading back in because of it being left hand

[@Bassingtons]

@@mrsplashboy1 20% of shooters are left handed. You will not get crucified when trading a left handed gun back. Once the muscle memory develops, you will be fine, although I have to admit it was very weird to begin with.

[@mainemonty]

Your shooting left handed?...does that model come in left handed cast?...did u get the gun fitted?...good luck bud

[@Bassingtons]

The answers to your questions are: yes, yes and yes!

[@Patrick-sw2qk]

Don’t mean to be rude, did the Browning hold it’s value when you traded it in?

[@Bassingtons]

Yes it did I lost about £500 on the gun in just over a year.

[@Patrick-sw2qk]

Not bad for a trade in.The 694 is sweet it’s my next gun purchase I enjoy your videos hope you attract more followers.

[@TheTaylorLawOffice]

Great gun. Not a good fitting gun for large men, however. I looked at 694 but had to go with a Zoli Z-Sport due to my size. The good fit wasn't good on the 694 even with the adjustable comb.

682 gold e or a 694?

[@Bassingtons]

The 682 gold e is a legend, but the 694 has the edge!

[@PhoPoweR]

Love my 694, I smash clays all day with it with ease

[@LakesMTB1964]

I couldn’t get away with the 694 but can’t fault my B525SL

[@Bassingtons]

I think you either Browning or a Beretta person.

[@LakesMTB1964]

@@Bassingtons I’ve come back to Clays after a 20 year lay off and was always a Beretta man but for some reason I thought I would try a Browning this time

[@Bassingtons]

@@LakesMTB1964 The Browning is a really good gun, as I have already said you are either Beretta or Browning. Having owned a Browning Ultra XS Pro and then the Beretta 694, for me it is the Beretta all day long! I find it a more versatile gun, however the Browning will work better for others.

Technically taking it's good, very ugly though with those triangular shapes.

[@Bassingtons]

The gun is superb value for money and I believe the Best Buy in the mid range! Aesthetically I am not bothered!

[@craigabbott5937]

Don't buy a Beretta they all break i have 2 DT11 and a 692 they all broke and keep breaking and Beretta won't fix the problems they just send you part save up and buy a better gun👍
