new gun

[pluckers son]

after buying a gun for geese,was looking at a mossberg 3 shot pump action at the gun shop in sheffield in black for £300.00,dont no wot sort but i liked it very much.are the pump action guns harder to use than semmi autos,when u let off a sot them pump dose it put u off and miss because iam not a very good shot anyway lol

 

wot guns do u other pigeon watch guys use for honkers?

U'll find with a pump action u have to lower the gun to reload after each shot and this can put you off and slow u down.

Get a semi,a lot faster to reload and wont put u off.

I use a 3" chambered beretta o/u for the geese,works well.

cheers mate just as i thought pumping and shooting would be hard i think might go for a semi auto 3 shot 3" magnum if i can get one for cheap.

With practise you can load a pump in no time, take it to the clay ground a few times to biuld up your speed. A few weeks ago i brought a new Escort Fieldhunter in black five chokes for £220. I find i now use this gun all the time and the o/u stays in the safe

As Browning says , nothing wrong with a pump a little practice goes a long way, i've watched an old boy who shot for Canada here with an old winney model 12 pump 2 through at the pair as fast if not faster than any auto i've seen.
