HELP NEEDED

[jclay91 12]

I SHOOT MAINLY WOODPIGEON AAND RABBIT BUT DO QUITE ABIT OF WILDFOWLING INLAND AND ON THE FORESHORE

THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE AN OVER AND UNDER, 12BORE, MULTICHOKE, NEEDS TO BE 3INCH MAGNUM AND PROOFED TO TAKE STEEL LOADS

I AM LOOKING TO BUY NEW BUT DONT HAVE TOO MUCH TO SPEND, ONLY HAVE ABOUT £800

 

I HAVE LOOKED AT FABARM AXIS, LANBER FIELD, WEBLEY SCOTT 912G AND BETTINSOLI DIAMOND

 

ANYONE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THESE?

 

OR IS THERE ANY OTHER GUNS OUT THERE?

As you don't mention game shooting (pheasant, grouse) maybe look at an auto - should be able to pick up a second hand Beretta Urika and leave you some change. That will do everything you ask.

For £800 quid you would get a tidy browning or berretta. Id rather a second hand browning than a new bettinsoli etc. Just my opinion though.

I agree with the previous response, if your not shooting on a syndicate pheasant shoot then a Semi Auto is is a very good prospect.

For £800 you could scource a decent secondhand Berreta Extrema or similar, 3" Magnum or even 3 1/2" Magnum steel shot proofed, and these soak up the hideous recoil with ease.

My shooting pal has a synthetic stock 8 shot Extrema, and I reckon it would be hard to beat, I have an old but tidy Berreta 303 semi-auto it's only 2 3/4" 3 shot but very easy on the shoulder compared to my other O/U and S/S guns with Magnum shells.
