Which Shot gun

[mark739 1]

Hi all, after a bit of advice, Just got my Shot Gun Licence but not sure what Gun to buy i will be using it for mooching around my Permissions and Pigeons, my budget is up to £1500,

 

Any advice much appreciated,

Go to the gun shop and have a look around

I'd shot o/u and semi autos belonging to friends but when I got my own I went for a sxs because it felt better to hold and mount

If you're looking for an o/u I'd recommend a secondhand baikal. Cheap and won't let you down

You'll have more than enough to buy anything else ie decoys, calls, clothes etc

Go to a couple of gun shops and try as many guns as you can for feel and fit. The gun the fits best and points where your looking is the gun you should buy. With your budget the shotgun world is your lobster!

 

I shoot Brownings as they just seem to fit me and suit my shooting style. My first gun was a very nice Berreta but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it, don't buy because of the brand, buy what fits you!

 

I would also say don't be put off by second hand guns, just check over well for condition, there are lots of second hand guns out there that have had little or no use.

 

Hope that helps
