JonathanKent 16 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 If money is not too tight, go for a Benelli or a Berreta ES110. The Benelli and the ES100 runs from the recoil of the cartridge whereas the others including the Escort run off gasses taken from the barrel blown back through the for-end. This means that when you shoot a cartridge with a gas powered gun the for-end gets full of cr*p and burnt powder from the cartridge, this then builds up in the forend which makes it a pain to clean and can build up and can lead to reliability ssues. The Berreta is a bargain you can buy a brand new one from guntrader from £685 yes a bit more than an escort but its a brand new berreta! Having said all that I also have an escort i the cabinet too, I use it lamping off the quad because I paid £350 for it brand new in camo with a three years warranty, the way I looked at it that £120 a year and after that if its knackered I am not bothered. Its a cheap peice of cr*p and I am not bothered if it gets covered in mud and blood etc. Sorry I think I probably just muddied the water even further! ATB Jonno Quote Link to post

Need that on the ticket and need deep pockets to buy and put the cartridges in Aye it needs to be on your ticket but no trouble getting it on. As a work gun getting used every day its brilliant changed my berretta for it. And cartridges arent exspensive if your not paying for them Quote Link to post
young keeper 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks to all for the advice and help with my decision and i think im going to pop into the local gundealers and have a look at a new escort thanks all Quote Link to post
tubba 38 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I brought an Escort brand new for £400 with a slip. Its a decent gun for the money i use mine for clays now and again and pigeon shooting. A mate has brought a Benelli Vinci and he is having problems with it cycling 28g carts. The Hatsan has no probs with 28g shells. Edited June 16, 2011 by tubba Quote Link to post
