I have the oportunity to buy a Beretta 689 at a reasonable price,cal 9.3 x 74,I do not mind the O/U configuration at all,actually I like it,the rifle has a single trigger,would anybody have knowledge of a gunsmith who can convert the rifle to a double trigger?

Richard Cole of Cole gunsmithing Naples, Florida can do it. See his website; he is the Beretta guru of USA.

Maybe they can convert it to a SxS at the same time. Then it will be a proper DR!

A shooting friend of mine had Rich Cole to build him a wonderful .410 Beretta o/u with double triggers and straight English stock of magnificent figured walnut. This .410 gun is included in the Cole website and to view it click on the "Home" section and then scroll down to the "Our Work" section and you will see the photo of the gun laying on top of a Beretta "PB" leather gun case. It is a joy to behold.

Since the 689E Gold Sable in 9.3x74R was offered with double triggers, converting one with a single trigger to double triggers using factory parts should be straightforward.

There is a lovely Beretta O/U in 9.3x74R on GI at a reduced price with double triggers and scope.

Is the trigger selective? A friend has a F.A.I.R. rifle in 9.3x74 with a non-selective trigger, and that would be a serious demerit if the upper barrel was set up to for, say, a special distance. Is the rifle to be used for dangerous game? If so, double triggers might give one kind of security (while removing another if you are used to shotguns with single triggers). If not, I'd try to live with it - or trade for the one Transvaal mentioned.

Thanks,I did look into that one,the one that I am looking at is way better priced Smiler,the scope is a nice addition,although I am quite happy using dokter red dot sights on my DR'S.

I think Beretta uses intertia type triggers,but in any case I would not use a single trigger,all my double rifles have two triggers & I would not risk getting used to a single trigger.
