Beretta 695 Field 12/76

— Show original

A shotgun well suited for hunting use, finished exceptionally beautifully. The design of the log is almost ideal for me, although the length of the log ran out in the middle for a nearly 190-centimeter hunter - who did appear immediately in Varustenet's first-class log sizing service. The length of the log was correct by replacing the Beretta with a thicker Micropore recoil damper at the rear of the weapon and adding an extra 125 mm extension between the log and it. With this tool, everything from the discs to the tea has already been dropped. The only challenge in the gun was a really stiffened safety lock, which on a cold autumn morning was a little too stiff for a combination of cumbersome fingers & gloves in an emergency, and a pair of teers in a landing glider were allowed to continue their flight without knowing about the hunter. After this incident, the gunsmith used by Varustenet loosened the spring of the lock and now the gun has started to work perfectly even in hunting shooting. As stated, the finish of the weapon is first-class, the carvings along the outer curve of the trigger arch are beautiful and the wooden parts of the log are exceptionally beautiful even in the price range. Summa summarum: Is this shotgun decisively better in hunting use than, for example, the Valmet 412 in the hands of several hunters? No. Would I buy this gun for the forest again? Yes - without blinking. The finish of the shotgun's finishing work is eye-catching and the engravings bring art closer.
