I watch shotgun videos from all British gun youtubers.. all of them together did not make this much informative and quality video as you did! The information and "tips" given here are the best - period! Excellent work! I just subscribed. Regards from Serbia!
Your reviews are always thorough and informed and a pleasure to watch. Thank you. I don’t know if you have done a comparison video between the DT11 and the Perazzi MX2000S, but your knowledge of both would make this another great watch.
Superb video. Who cares about 694 vs DT11 - I learned more about O/U construction, functioning, and maintenance than the other 100 videos I've watched. Thank you.
What is the advantage of a Detachable Trigger mechanism? I remember drooling over the older DT10 When they came out. I was never able to get one. Now I’m just now getting back into clays and pulling out my old browning and skb (which has a very similar locking mechanism to the DT11)
Use to shoot Browning GTS then got the 725. Sold and got the 690 Black and absolutely love the Beretta. Was shooting little low and thought about making the stock adjustable. But fitted the Beretta Gel Pad and its spot on.
Great vid, I've recently gone from 694 to dt11 and was wondering if I had done the right thing but after watching this definitely have. Have watched lot of videos on berreta but learned something new today.
Well done as usual. Love your presentations as they contain constructive information. In the future , please consider doing a comparison (one on one) with the Perazzi HT Sporting Clay and the DT11 sporting clay versions. Thank you for listening .
There was no question for me. I wanted a dt11. I got a 694. Dt11 starts around $14k in Canada. Way out of my price range. Having shot both I'm happy with my 694
Ich schieße mit meiner 694 seit 3 Jahren und im Durchschnitt pro Jahr etwa 10.000 Schuss. Ich reinige meine Flinte nach jedem Einsatz gründlich. Eine Wartung war noch nie nötig. Meine 694 funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich denke, die Waffe ständig zu warten ist übertrieben. Nach meiner Erfahrung ist es in erster Linie ein Frage, wie ich meine Flinte schließe und öffne.
Great video. I have question - I have 694. In the shop they told me that when I travel with the gun in the case, it is better to release the locking - by pressing the small pin on the action. The lever then stays in the middle instead of being far to the right. So I did it, but of course when I arrived at the shooting range, I forgot to open the locking and I inserted the barrels (in fact in locked action) and I locked...the gun seems to be OK, but did I damage something? Thanks for your opinion.
Its hard to say, unless we inspect it. If the gun locks correctly and theres no visible damage, i would its good to go but you gotta be careful because otherwise could cause damage
The 686 when well maintained will circle through different sizes of locking bolts and when you run out, you can install bushings on the barrel and return to the very first size of locking bolt. The 694 has 2 sizes of locking bolt. The DT11 has 4 extra sizes of locking bolts, when you reach the last one, you can weld the barrel lugs and bring it back to factory size again. Most of these guns will have many standard services before having to be “rebuilt”
@@LetsTalkShotguns So what is the max number of shells you think could be put through each of these guns before it’s absolutely have to look at replacing the entire gun?
I dont know. We have never seen one. Most people are trading guns before it needs to be replaced. The vast majority of shooters do not shoot 20k rounds per year
@@davedunn7759 I didn’t realize it was so bizarre to want to know how many rounds I can expect to put through a certain gun before it needs to be replaced. Silly me. 🙄
Great Video, but you are comparing apples and oranges. Any gun goes bank and have similar locking mechanisms, what you failed to stress was the Detachable trigger mechanism that champion shoots reply on. This mechanism forms a large part of the overall cost. I have a DT11L it feels like a real gun, when I pick up y other gun a 686, if feels like a toy in comparison. That said, I think you should always buy the best you can afford, hell if you can afford it get the SL2 for the heck of it. I doubt many people analyse the guns as you have.
Yes. Guns will shoot differently for each person. Every flat rib sporting gun shoots low for me. With flat rib guns, we can fit the gun to the shooters specific point of impact
None of the guns values the market price, it's obscene and ridiculus pay for 2tubes a receiver and 2 chunks of wood, 5000$ or 10000$ ?! People should'nt pay More than 1000$ for any gun. (Except those engraved or with some gold) FCK the brands, that's the real value of the guns.
Best review I have seen on these two different platforms. Thank you. I have a better understanding now.
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you. I will add your request to my to do list!
Beretta’s first universally recognised 68x series gun arguably was the 682, specifically the 682 gold. This was the predecessor to the 692.
Glad to see you back with a new video.
Thank you sir
Wow. I actually learned a few great things thanks to your review. Very well done. Keep it up. THANKS (I subscribed).👌

A really good instruction, every difference noted and graded in importance. Twice the price is a bummer!
Very good video man

Just found your channel today. Love the content and the reviews. Already subscribed and will be looking for more vids!
Awesome, thank you!
With so much disinformation and outright BS about shotguns on UA-cam, it's nice to see a piece that is accurate and teaches you something.
Thank you for watching
This was very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, as usual. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid, I've recently gone from 694 to dt11 and was wondering if I had done the right thing but after watching this definitely have.
Have watched lot of videos on berreta but learned something new today.
Glad I could help
So glad there’s finally an American channel doing this I just subscribed
Can you do a video on blasers some of there guns ! Thanks
Perfect analysis
That was a great review, thanks.
Thanks for watching

Nice detail and info.
Great info! 👍🏼

Having shot both I'm happy with my 694
Excellent presentation! Hank you very much. Perry P., SoCal
Glad you enjoyed it!
There's a big difference in price! Is it worth it?
For an avid shooter yes. To someone that might shoot once a month not really.
awesome video.. .thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Glad you’re back making videos. Great reviews!
Had to take a quick break but More to come!
Both good guns dt11 over double the price so much the same.

This was a great video. What is the typical round count lifetime for the 686, 694, DT11 with proper servicing?
The 686 when well maintained will circle through different sizes of locking bolts and when you run out, you can install bushings on the barrel and return to the very first size of locking bolt.
The 694 has 2 sizes of locking bolt.
The DT11 has 4 extra sizes of locking bolts, when you reach the last one, you can weld the barrel lugs and bring it back to factory size again.

Thats was the entire point of the video. Clarify it to the customer that they are NOT the same
Doesn't the DT11L only have Stellium Plus barrels, not the Pro?
Getting guns serviced means relying on UPS or Fedex, both hate guns, both lose guns to thieves like crazy.
Is it just a myth that beretta shoot high and browning shoot flat?
Yes. Guns will shoot differently for each person. Every flat rib sporting gun shoots low for me. With flat rib guns, we can fit the gun to the shooters specific point of impact
? DT11 vs ruzzini br460
Great one. Will add to the list
Or buy 2 guns
Exactly
DT is seriously bent.
Dt11 is for braggers and someone who needs a psychological boost.
None of the guns values the market price, it's obscene and ridiculus pay for 2tubes a receiver and 2 chunks of wood, 5000$ or 10000$ ?! People should'nt pay More than 1000$ for any gun. (Except those engraved or with some gold) FCK the brands, that's the real value of the guns.
Maybe watch a video about the time and precision it takes to create a Krieghoff, Perazzi or DT11.
@@davedunn7759 😆 Machines does the most of the job. Do you think we still are in the 18 Century? Maybe you should watch it.
They're not guns for casual shooters, that's about it. There's plenty of great "cheap" shotguns that perfoem just fine, just not O/U.
@@bb5242 True enough. I shoot a DT11 for trap and I’ve shot 12000+ shells this season. Not one hiccup with the gun.
