has any one had any expierience with the hatsan escort 3 shot semi auto, if so whats the verdict on them as an all round more affordable gun?

Here you go a recent thread

 

Personally I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole rather have a 2nd hand Winchester, Benelli or Beretta

x2. Theres people on here who have had good experiences with them though. Better to stick with a better quality 2nd hand auto if you want value. Fabarm for me every time. ATB Mark

They dont get good feedback on here at the last post kinda put me off them a bit

[PLEDGEY 496]

I was going to buy one but what put me off wasn't the amount of people saying they were bad, but the lack of people that do own them saying they are good. I got a winchester SX3 in the end, it's really good gun.

Mine was alright for the few dozen shots I used it for but I didn't like the whole semiauto thing: gun was too long and a faff to clean. It worked alright from new with 28gram loads and I could hit stuff as well as with the O/U which was not very well LOL.

Well that's made my mind up and thanks for the input guys, but I have got another question for you all, I have been offered a Beretta A300 outlander semi auto for £745.00 new any ideas on this it seems cheep for a baretta is there a reason for this?

Im not familiar with that particular model, but if its a Berreta,it should be a good gun,however,my advice would be,buy a second hand Benneli m1 you should get a mint one for 700ish, I have had mine from new 7 years now, and I can say hand on heart that it is the best shotgun I have ever owned, but whatever you but,thank the gods it wont be a hatstand.

If its a berreta it will be ok, i had a 301 for years with out any problem, i have an escort 5 shot at the moment its ok but it does`nt like shorter cart 67mm work fine but anything under and it trys to feed 2 at a time.

after all your comments and all my homework on different guns and all the reviews from different people, i have just put a deposit on a BRAND NEW WINCHESTER SX3 28" in camo, some good reviews on it and very good weight, fast, reliable, and nice to look at......cheers guys.
