lampingman Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Does anyone own or used 1 of the above guns if so what are your thoughts and views of them thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I have asked this question on other forums and not really got a answer. I hope somebody has used one as I'd fancy one as a dedicated fowling gun however I feel it will be too light at 7lb for 3 1/2" shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon69 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 i have a Revo Venator, the semi and have had no problems with it, but cant help with the above. Maybe ask Wabbitbosher? he sells the Revos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt1980 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Only seen and handled one Revo and I thought it was poorly made! Cut out in the stock for the safety was about 5mm to big in the stock and left a gap, took fore end off and it looked basic machining etc, I know they are built to a price but rfd was looking at possibly stocking them, decided against it after seeing it. Only my opinion, personally I'd get a 2nd hand Lincoln or Silma, but that's just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett1985 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 not that im aware of, but there are plenty of hydro dipping companies around that charge very little to dip a gun in whatever camo you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew f Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have revo venator 5 shot semi auto nothing wrong with it for 300 odd quid. cycles perfectly handles well. at the end of the day they all do the same thing its like someone owning a purdey and still get out shot by a cheap shotgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 definately nothing wrong with their semi autos! ive used one and it worked very well and seemed very good value for money. havent had much to do with their over and unders, but from what i have seen of them, my opinion would be that money could be better spent elsewhere on something that should last a little longer and was a little better made. the biggest differences in quality aren't seen by the general user in most cases, its whoever takes them apart and services/cleans them that will notice it. a wise man once told me that its easy to tell when your working on a cheap gun, as you end up with cut fingers. from first hand experience, i have found that statement to be completely correct. im sure for the less serious shooter that revo's over and under would be more than adequate, i fear though that for more persistent use, it may not provide such good service. just my opinion though.

xsmit Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I got a K200 last year and haven't had much chance to use it, but the handful of times i have it shoots fine and the build quality/finish is good(but no where near as good as my Silver Pigeon) not had any problems with it. I am very please with it especially for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlerob Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 im looking to get one by the end of next month as looking for a cheap steel proofed O/U to replace my al391 urika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAsh Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Have you tried Yeldiz they make nice low priced guns with reasonable wood etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkycorksta Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I have been using a Revo Field pump action for my last 3 sessions on clays. Seems to work quiet well once you get used to cycling it after every shot. I hit as many clays as with anything else I have tried. As for the build quality - it seems a bargain for £250 but no idea if it will last. I am sure it's not a "gun for life" but then there is very little to go wrong inside that can't be fixed. Assuming parts remain available..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkycorksta Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 To update my above comment ITS BROKEN ALREADY ! 4th TIME OUT Sadly part of the plastic trigger assembly moulding disintegrated for no apparent reason. Well perhaps the reason is very apparent - not strongly made. So now I will find out how the 1 year warranty stacks up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
