dedger 16 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 You don't state what you are going to use it for but I would opt for the o/u while it is your first gun. They are easier to deem safe but more to the point it is easier for other people to see it is safe. If you are going to use it at a clay shoot, they can be frowned upon by some clubs for this reason.

Cockers89 82 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Lanber or Franchi, my first shotgun was a Winchester. Which i'm very happy with. There's plenty of decent guns out there, just have to keep an eye out for a bargain. AYA and Winchester Quote Link to post

kruby01 114 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Can't go wrong with a Baikel Quote Link to post
Bradford Lad 74 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I was in same position as you a few months ago, good advice from above Lanier or Baikal are good goods for the price. I found a lovely Lincoln o/u in my local gunshop, they're we're others but that one just felt right. Good luck with your search mate Quote Link to post
Chreos 5 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 For the first gun probably you should go and buy one what fits you good, stays in your money and you like it. Here in Hungary a lot of hunters have a Baikal because it is a cheap and very durable gun. You won't care with a Baikal in the rain, hard bush or reed, they don't get rusty easily. ... Here we have no Lanber so I can't say anything about it!! Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 All good advice mate, nothing wrong with a Russian purdey (Baikal) though they are a little agricultural compared to the Spanish o/u whatever you buy make sure it fits you as you will never be happy with a gun that does not, even if you spent £100,000 on a Purdy,Lanber, Laurona, Lincoln, all good serviceable guns, if you go for a s/s try and find one with a flat rather than concave rib they are easier to shoot,and finally whatever you do DO NOT get talked into one of those fu--ing aweful Hatstand escort semi autos, it will put you off from the start, they are garbage Quote Link to post
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Baikal. Quote Link to post
