northamptonpotshot1 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I once owned a 3 shot semi auto by Breda, it was about 15years ago, I never got on with it, it always played up, wouldn't or couldnt handle modern cartridges? was a pig to keep clean, heavy and well a nightmare, so I got rid. I've always stuck with conventional double barrel guns since and would urge anyone new to the sport to do the same, buy the best you can afford, I shoot a Beretta silver pigeon 5, 28inch MC game, and I love it. But thats a matter of choice. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyR Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have a Breda Astro of indeterminate age, which is on loan from a mate. Hasn't been out of the cabinet for 6 months and I put 100 carts through it yesterday on a sporting layout. It didn't miss a beat and I shot a mid 80's. Which is bloody good for me. Can't fault it. cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed right in my hands, points well with no serious recoil. I was shooting 28g 71/2 shot Hull Sovereign fibres, which I normally find a bit thumpy I normally shoot a Beretta SP3 limited edition sporter. cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
