SportingShooter 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Whats your Budget? Depending on that question, then the answer will be more Specific. I have an Escort 3" Auto, it does what I ask of it on the Marsh and in the Pigeon Hide. I had, up until a few months back, a Beretta AL391 Urika. Mainly a competition gun but one which was welcome in the Pigeon Hide. If you afford something like a Beretta, Benelli or Browning then Great. If Not then not to worry, there are plenty of good guns out there. SS Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 The Escort are cheap and cheerful, IF you get one that works then you will be lucky, the barrel blew up on mine, the replacement barrel didn't fit and then the next whole replacement gun was a disaster. Now returned and a full refund recieved. We all know things go wrong sometimes, but the Escort seems to have more than it's fair share of problems. And it's not just me, many other people contacted me about problems they have had including 2 whos barrels had blown up as well. Consider a better quality used gun if the budget is tight!!

provarmint 25 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Buy a used Beretta, you will pick up a nice Urika for £550 upwards. ATB, PV. Quote Link to post
Fieldsports 155 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I love This gun here baikal mp-153 I had an escort and hated it, to be honest it was a right pile of sh1t. But everyman to himself as far as opinions go. So through choice and not price I went out and got THIS AUTO HERE, I love it. 3 1/2 inch, multi choke, adjustable settings for light heavy loads. ( I have never to alter the settings at all ). It never jams or gives you any grief, it has no silly rubber "O" rings inside to go wrong. I love it, in-fact I love most Baikal's. Cheers Quote Link to post

My mate has a mp-153. It seems unbreakable! I bought a s/h Benelli 123 and that is as reliable - although not able to take large loads and fixed choke. T. Quote Link to post
