Cheap semi auto

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

I was thinking of getting a semi auto for the geese and corvids as like the idea of that extra 3rd shot.

I've never held or shot one so any recommendations?

Just want something cheap that is pointable and reliable. 

Any ideas ?

As said else where get one that fits but most newer autos and pumps come with shim kits to get the fit spot on.

Finding the empties might be an issue.

Second hand beretta would be my choice if I decided I wanted another!

used loads of different ones and an old the old 300 I had was as good as any and the only one I had that would cycle everything and never jammed up, can still get parts for them and there cheap

Browning  fusion.

Benelli or Franchi who are now owned by Benelli. You want the clean Benelli system unless you want to spend an hour cleaning after every shoot. Ive had both and a Browning too and the browning was bad for cleaning and had a dodgy trigger which they wouldnt recognise even though the problem was all over the internet at the time. Ive shot thousands of rounds through my Franchi without any probs, its a lovely gun.

I find the Winchester sx4 very good easy to strip and clean and reliable, cheap enough , I use mine on geese crow pigeon and fox, and it never misses a beat really ,

Don't come with shims the sx4 does it? Daft they stopped including them after the sx3
