Wifes first SG

Hi All, I have spent the last couple of weeks trawling the forum reading other peoples questions and the forum is a minefield of info so I have signed up!!

My wife has just received her SGC and is looking for her first SG mainly for clay shooting with the odd rough shoot and pigeon / crow thrown in.

She has so far tried and liked the following in 12G in order of preference:

Miroku 3000 - 28 (we have been offered one for £650 which is very clean??) Are parts an issue? Her favourite gun by far
Betinsolli Universal 30 in - have read very mixed reviews - is this just Brand snobbery> A close second to the Miroku
Beretta 686E (expensive!) 30in
Winchester 101 XTR 30in - parts are like hens teeth

She's looking for something well balanced for around the £600 mark, any other suggestions as there are thousands of brands we have never heard of? We have to own a gun to attend our local club as it does not offer loan guns and we are new to the sport.
She is 5'6 and although reasonably built she is new to shooting and recoil!

Miroku 3000 were only made for a short time - better off with a more recent one.

 

Bettinsoli - not in the same league as the others mentioned. I wouldn't buy it.

 

Beretta - decent gun - shop around for a cheaper one.

 

Winchester - as good as Beretta and Miroku - they always seemed to handle better. Spares are not plentiful, but are available.

 

Out of all options, I would be looking at a decent Miroku - best value for money out of all of them. Get one that fits her.
