Anyone have any long term experience with this model? Shot one last weekend. Fits me well. Shot it well and it's priced reasonably. Pretty wood.

Would like to hear from someone with more than one round of experience with it.

Ended up with a 686. Prettier wood, fit is the same.

Should have yelled at me.

The 690 is the continuation of the 680 series, which we now know as the 686, 687, and variations thereof. All very good, well engineered shotgun actions. Fine guns, indeed. I own several.

Fit and finish, are entirely different matters unrelated to the type of action. If you found one that works for you, go for it. Great guns. You can not go wrong.

Best to you........
