GameDealer7412 2 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello, The Semi Auto is a great tool for vermin control and I personally feel it offers many benefits!-The benefits are in regards to hide safety as you can not breaking the barrels to insert cartridges in! Secondly recoil is reduced so always a bonus! Other benefits include can deal with heavier load cartridges, if a third for 3 shot auto is needed then it is good as duck shooting you might need that 3rd shot or pigeon shooting when a good number come in!-doesnt mean you will get it though!!! Over and under are still good as I have both and over and under are good for more profound side to the shooting so you can take them on a phesant shoot and it is very useful in many ways but remember a semi auto needs a lot of cleaning to cycle its cartridges more efficiently and to prevent jamming which is a pain!-All the best of luck with what you go for and anymore advise you can p.m me!!

Cliff Ray 185 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Benelli here as well., Originally bought 10 years ago for heavier loads for fox (actually I popped into a gunshop for 22lr ammo and it was sitting on the wall looking very lonely), but rapidly became my favourite for everything that doesn't need a rifle.

shootlodge 146 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 2 of each here, sxs u/o semi, I like a change when it starts getting too easy Quote Link to post
engraver 44 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I fancy one for simply loading in a hide is easier, but for handling I doubt one can ever beat a trully ballanced overunder game gun on pigeons. Quote Link to post
overkill 28 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 handling doesnt kill three pigeons rather than two! Quote Link to post
engraver 44 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 handling doesnt kill three pigeons rather than two! good point but believe it or not Ive done that more than once with two shots with an over and under. Quote Link to post
sprocker dog 7 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just picked up a new SX3 Camo woodland oak, smooth as silk. Cheers to the lads at bywell, Still got the O/U . good choice mate, a very reliable gun wich i can not fault. the only downside to using any semi auto is picking the shells up after a days shooting, if only they didn't fly so far from the hide!
