im thinking of buying a bettinsoli x8 or a x9 ive heard the triggers have troubles is this true or any issues ill probbally shoot 200 to 300 clays every cpl weeks this summer any thoughts thanks
 
I have an X9 and I know at least 3 fellows that shoot X8s. None of us has had any troubles with our guns. I have been shooting mine pretty regularly for the last year, about 100 rounds a week. The other guys average about the same count but have had the guns a longer time.
I did stop shooting challenger target loads in it, the bottom barrel would punch through the primer pretty often. But I think that issue is not only found in the bettinsolis.
 
There's not much to be found online about them. A cpuple of youtube bits from McCloys doing a review on the x8. I did a bunch of looking last year, seems they are decent enough, just not much of a presence here in north america.

I have friends with X9s and owned one myself for a while. None of us experienced any problems and I personally consider them great value for the money. Fit and finish is very good and all have nicely figured wood.

So, what was the verdict on the betti?
 
I've probably put around 40,000 rounds through my X8 sporting 12ga. My sear snapped twice causing it to only shoot from one barrel and the selector switch wouldn't work. My local GunDealer fixed it pretty fast. It is the only issue I've had.
