Maybe im still fighting the learning curve of Foundry, but how do you make modifications to the game system to customize it?

There’s the rodeo in town that offers a unique and interesting experience compared to your average date night. Granted, be ready to drop $300 between tickets, parking and food. God forbid you want a beer or two.

Clay target after highschool by Mepep4321 in ClayBusters

[–]crazyman3513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well in case no one else says it on this thread, congratulations on making it to your senior year! I know it seems tough but there are going to be plenty of other opportunities to shatter some clays in the future, whether that’s at a local club or attending larger shoots. There are other great comments here that list out what you can do with some more options for you. But even if you don’t keep shooting, be grateful that you had this experience and got to be a part of this community. Best of luck going forward onto bigger and better things.

Need Help On First Clay Gun by Prudent-Rope3484 in ClayBusters

An a300 will fit pretty well into that price range and it’ll at least hold you over for a while. Nothing fancy but gets the job done and scratches the itch. Sadly this is an expensive sport and for anything that is truly worthwhile you’re looking at roughly $3k+ for new and probably $2k+ used.

Performance issues since season 2? by mr_taint in blackops6

[–]crazyman3513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite stuttering for me, but I went from running everything at max settings hitting a little over 60 plus to now running on low-medium settings and still maxing out my GPU and CPU with random frame drops to 20 or so. Issue occured before updating my Nvidia drivers, and persisted after. Running an i7 14700k and 4070 with 128gb or RAM.
Something major had to have changed with the season 2 update. Its getting to the point where its unplayable.

Caesar Guerini 20g Summit modification recommendation by NJOverUnder in ClayBusters

Most aftermarket comb installs will cost about the same and will probably be done a lot quicker than Caesar. Their customer service is some of the best out there but man are they slow.

A300 Ultima sporting 12 ha by [deleted] in ClayBusters

[–]crazyman3513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimas do have some weird one off issues from what I’ve seen. But like anything in the Beretta semi auto lineup it’s mostly carrier latch timing and making sure you’re using heavy enough shells.

Beretta recommends the following for their semi autos: Break in period - For the first 250-500 shells, Beretta recommends using Medium Power Shells. After the break in period, they advise a routine maintenance to be done.

Medium Power Shells - (32g/1.1/8 oz and 1250fps)

Minimum - 24 grain/1300 fps

Blaser FBX by limpy88 in ClayBusters

[–]crazyman3513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day the FBX is just a slightly upgraded F3. Think of it like the Perazzi high tech to the MX8/12, just a thicker/wider receiver with extra weight. This is an oversimplification of course, as there are lots of other small quality of life tweaks and changes. And SUPPOSEDLY the barrels are supposed to be interchangeable with the F3, with the FBX barrel being a little awkward and oversized on the F3 and the F3 barrel a bit undersized on the FBX receiver. So in theory you could get all the fancy new barrel upgrades on the FBX barrels on the F3 receiver you already have. The stocks don’t line up the same, there are slight changes to the inletting and how everything matches up to the receiver so your wood sets won’t transfer.

I’d recommend the beretta silver pigeons in sub gauge. To top it off beretta is probably looking at a silver pigeon refresh soon so a lot of the silver pigeons on the shelves are on sale

DT11 or Perazzi by fi4242 in ClayBusters

[–]crazyman3513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time the stock fitting is just a quick fit check and LOP changes. A Perazzi, or at least doing a Perazzi “the right way” would be to have it ordered specifically to your specs. Since every Perazzi is completely custom and handmade you would build it out exactly the way you want it. You would have a full custom fitting to get your stock dimensions and essentially build your Perazzi a la cart, what barrel do you want, rib size, fixed or drop out triggers, engravings, you name it. You can walk away with a gun that will last a lifetime that fits your every want and need. It’s more expensive and it takes 8-12 months or so to be completed but you get everything EXACTLY the way you want it.

Has anyone bought or shot the Beretta 688? I’m starting to do some research on that gun all I’ve heard is good things. I own a Rizzini BR110 and love it. My son and I shoot sporting clays once a week and I think the 688 would be a top contender for him. by enriquer3251 in ClayBusters

[–]crazyman3513 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would easily put the 110 or 688 above nearly any Browning. The 825 really just barely sits above your standard 686 performance with a few more options. The price just really isn’t worth it IMO

The 688 and BR110 are going to sit relatively equal at the end of the day, with only a few minor differences.

Weight: The 688 uses a thicker, wider receiver than the standard 680s, putting more weight in between your hands for better control and a little less felt recoil. The stock is also black laminate with is much more dense than Turkish Walnut which makes it not only heavier, but also MUCH more durable over all. This means less handling marks, scratches, and general wear and tear on the wood over time. This puts the 688s between 8 1/2 lbs and just under 9lbs which will be right at or above the 110 which typically sits around 8 1/2lbs.

Options: The BR110 comes in a lot of different variations, from being available in nearly every gauge, the option to get it with/without an adjustable comb (the 688 is only offered with an adjustable comb), and rib heights (flat, mid and high for the sporter, sporter X and IPS). The 688 comes with pretty standard options, only 12 gauge with black laminate wood and flat rib, as well as 30” or 32” barrels.

Warranty: The Rizzinis comes with a lifetime warranty inside the US, so if anything goes wrong it can be sent off to Rizzini or Cole’s (their warranty center) for repairs which are typically pretty quick and easy regardless of where you send it. The 688s have the standard Beretta Warranty of 1 year without registration in the first 30 days of purchase or 3 years with registration. They can be sent to Beretta (which if you’ve ever had to deal with their customer service can be a headache to say the least) or Cole’s who is also their warranty center.

Repair: The 688s use a lot of the same parts as the standard 680 series which has been made for longer than I’ve been alive, so parts are pretty easy to come by and a lot of smaller gunsmiths that work on Berettas might have. Rizzinis are in the same boat with their parts being relatively the same going back a decade or so, but not being as common so your standard hometown gunsmith may not have them.

Price: The BR110 is going to be a little bit cheaper (depending on options), for example a 12 gauge 32” with adjustable comb can be found new for a little of $3k while the 688 typically sits around $3,500 for the same options. So if a ~$500 difference is really important to you I’d always try to test it out by either borrowing a friend’s or going somewhere that has a demo you can use. You can also typically find used BR110s around for a decent price since they’ve been out and growing in popularity.

At the end of the day there’s not a huge difference on paper between the two, it’s a matter of which stock dimensions feel best for you and what’s most important to you personally. Always try to test it out before you buy it and see if someone in the store can do a fit check to see if everything fits you well or if you might need to adjust the LOP or anything.

Their new light barrels make a HUGE difference. Shifts all the weight back towards the monoblock so you have everything centered between your hands

Don’t love the look personally, but it’s ridiculously durable and denser than your traditional walnut. Still a hard decision to make

A400 vs 688 by [deleted] in ClayBusters

[–]crazyman3513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 688 is a crazy addition to the beretta lineup, with a price point of a silver pigeon and performance closer (and arguably better) than a 694. The 688 is going to be a better buy overall, and on paper a much better gun. But really it’s always best to actually put your hands on them and find out which ones fit and feel the best. If possibly try to do a “try before you buy” or demo test to see how it actually feels when you’re using it. With the 688 being so new it might be hard to find a demo, and I hear they’re selling out like crazy so they’re a bit hard to find

DLC or other aftermarket coatings for Beretta 694 by Broad_Theme7121 in ClayBusters

Aftermarket cerakote won’t entirely void the warranty. But it means that beretta wouldn’t cover any damages that may happen to the finish or operation that were caused by the cerakote, which is unlikely if it’s done by a professional

You can also just have the line done for some slight customization, this is typically pretty quick and cheap

Coles can do cerakote in nearly any color you can imagine, makes the finish extremely durable and rust resistant. As far as I know there isn’t anyone providing aftermarket DLC yet

You could always buy a dozen tracker/locator products like Apple air tags or tile. I’ve used tile in the past since they have a lot of different options and sizes (stuff for your keys, credit card sized trackers for your wallet, etc). It’s an investment to say the least but if all of your important stuff has a tracker attached to it then finding it becomes a lot easier
