nathgoon 2 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 hi all I'm looking for a first shotgun but i don't know which one will be best ,i don't have a sgc yet so its very much in the process . i have no preferences regarding over-unders and side by sides , and i don't want to spend anything over 150-300 i know i wont get anything flash for that money but ill only have it for max a year . it will be used for a bit of wildfowl pigeon and all corvids on my permission . i don't mind about weight or bore . so any recommendations would be welcome . thanks for reading nathgoon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Get a second hand over and under 12 bore baikal, it wont be pretty, but you cant get any better value for money. And youll have a fair few quid left over for cartridges Edited December 2, 2009 by FightTheBan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sexy_Shot 5 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Start off with a little 410g so that you can get used like i did ( i dont have cert) but i went with dad he bought one and i used it, then upgrade to a 12/20g Hope this helps Cheers Trevor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And youll have a fair few quid left over for cartridges Best advice your likley to get fella.You cant beat them for the sort of thing your after.Stay away from the .410 mate imho you should be looking to start with the cal that you intend to stick to.At 16 you'll be more than up to using a 12g which would be your best bet certainly if your going to be doing some wildfowling mate. Good luck ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
