remi 1100 or hatson escort

[quakshot 1]

Never owned a Remington so can't really say, but I do own a hatsan escort magnum, I bought it second hand to do a couple weeks worth of goose shooting, a year and a half on I still own it and love it, it gets used for duck geese and pigeon. A lot of people knock them and fair enough if they've had bad experiences but the majority of people that call them have never touched one if there honest.

I 've had an escort 3shot semi for 3 yrs now it has had a caning clay shooting, rabbiting , pigeon shooting,I've found that if you keep it clean it'll give good service I believe the later ones are a bit more refined,on the whole you get a lot of gun for your money,can't comment on the remi though as I've never used one.

Of those two the remmi every time !

Duncan laughton won a big title shooting one about 10 years or so ago ! Great bit of kit.

 

I personally go Benelli though as i prefer inertia systems over gas as they are more simple and esy to clean, also dead reliable !

nothing wrong with hatsan's , just snobbery from some folk.

5 of the lads in our team have had hatstands,and every one has either gone back to the shop or was sold on at a loss!!!! wont cycle,misfireing and jamming!!!!!!! cheap turkish crap!!!!!!!!!!

Let's turn this round, from what you say, a pump action would be a viable alternative, shoots just as effictively, still only 1 barrel to clean and none of the crap and in depth cleaning required for the gas operated semi's.

 

You will have to learn the cycle the thing after the 1st shot rather than keep pressing the dam trigger expecting a 2nd shop

 

The winchester SXP, made in Turkey but not by hatstand, is the obvious choice, read the reviews, not a bad word spoken.

 

Mine was a recent buy, £250 in mint nick.
