    Yes, my dad has one. I enjoyed shooting with it. Didn't feel like too much hard work in terms of weight and manoeuvrability either

    It is impossible to fit a gun correctly until you have mastered the art of consistant gun mounting. To do that you need a gun. Nothing wrong with Winchester guns, but be prepared to be told "Oh, you can't get the parts for them ". A decent Gunsmith can either make the part or modify parts from a Miroku to fit. Obviously this will cost more, but apart from firing pins and ejector kickers, there is not a lot more to go wrong on a Winchester. You really need to handle a few different guns and preferably shoot them. From there you should be able to make a 'short list', you can then search to get the best deal on your choice of gun. Having got your gun, preferably with some help from a more experienced shooter, book yourself a couple of lessons with a decent Instructor. This should sort out any eye problems, stance and gun mount. Then go away and practice (or take up golf !). After you have decided to KEEP the gun and have mastered the rudiments of gun mounting, you could consider gunfit, you shoukd, by now, be more aware of your requirements. Good Luck and keep at it.

    Thanks for all the replies. I already play golf so I've got that covered :-) Are most dealers happy for "try before you buy" if they have the facilities then? I intend to get some lessons so i start doing the right thing from the beginning instead of winging it and having to correct everything later on down the line!

    Not sure what measurements are taken or are key in gunfitting but I'm of average build other than having long arms (comes with the height). My trouble is becoming too impatient and just wanting to buy buy buy! There's a Winchester Supergrade for sale on here in my area which doesn't read too bad in the advert. Again...don't know much about Winchesters

    Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to the world of shooting although it's been in the family a long time. I have decided to buy myself my own gun which I will be using for clays. I don't want to spend a mint on my first gun but at the same time I don't want to purchase the Lada of the shotgun world! After much Internet trawling I think I fancy either a Rizzini or a Franchi 12 bore over and under. More specifically a Franchi Harrier. A good choice? Any advice on first gun purchasing appreciated!!
