  2. As per the title I have the following for sale:Beretta 686e Limited Edition (Black Action) 043/800. Nice gun only seen light use. 12g 30” barrels 7(!) interchangeable extended chokes and 3 concealed chokes for game use all the accessories including the hard case choke key etc. Plus Winter & Summer pads to change LoP for clothing. Not mucked about with in any way. £1300Beretta 687 Sporter (predecessor to the Silver pigeon) This is one of the older actions but still the same internals as a £7k 687EELL! 28” barrels broad rib concealed multi choke x5 some wear to bluing on the muzzle from the slip. Game scene engraving on the sides with interchangeable fences. Pad fitted gives a 13 3/4 pull ideal for a junior/female or smaller stature individual. An oldey but a goody will go on forever! £800Pictures available via pm/email. Guns can be viewed near Warminster Wilts will need sight of your FAC/SGC by way of a picture or scan before f2f meeting will be arranged.
  3. Because they are more ‘bench’ than ‘tacticool’ they tend to be £1-200 s/h cheaper than 5-25’s…a good suggestion.
  4. Popsbengo...an informed opinion. I trained as a professional photographer, what he says is correct at higher magnifications the, so called ‘eye box’ becomes more critical. It is the same effect as a zooming a telephoto lens. The field of view narrows (the exit pupil diameter) and the eye relief narrows (decreased depth of field) for scope positioning and parallax compensation should always be set for maximum usable magnification, this makes sure you are best positioned at this mag and that anything less than this gives you more latitude and increases the ‘eye box’. Ditto on young eyes, mine are old and tired, like me, and it does have a definite influence, thank heavens I don’t yet have to wear spectacles I don’t know how wearers deal with that added complexity!
  5. Like Popsbengo I have both. The PM11 has the edge on contrast and colour (to my eyes) but I am a covert to Delta. It has to be the caveat with ‘at the price point’ but they are still great. If I could find a Delta Titanium 3-24x56 in moa I would buy in a heart beat brightest image I have seen. My 5-50 is a SFP MOA (old fart!) out of choice. The one thing that has steered me away from Nightforce is the mag being on the ocular bell (as I understand it) I too would favour my PM11 over almost anything but a couple of guys I know have IOR Crusaders...lovely scopes!
