mpk Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Hi all just wondering if anyone new of a gun around the £350 mark that is steel proofed (pump or auto or o/u) that will cope with a minimum of a 3'' cartridge . I was planning to buy a supernova but my cash flow has just gone southward. Its going to be used for wildfowling so it will get dropped in the mud etc (not deliberately) So not too bothered as to what it looks like. Cheers all :blink: Edited June 9, 2010 by mpk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vole Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I use the Escort pump ( Fieldhunter ) ,it is good for 3 in steel, for general shooting and have not had a single problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I use the Escort pump ( Fieldhunter ) ,it is good for 3 in steel, for general shooting and have not had a single problem with it. :blink: I have one too. No cycling issues as it's a pump, and it's even cheaper than the Auto version. Ok, it's not particularly refined but at the cost you wouldn't expect it.

sticko Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 another vote for the hatsan escort 3 year warranty 3inch cant go wrong had mine for a year cant kock it for wildfowling but dont go for the 3.5 inch as they are unreliable plastic stock wont swell if it gets wet probably going to get slated for writing this but try one no frills does what it says on the tin and they are all steel proofed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nial Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Another option's a Remington 11-87, or the later 1100's which have 3" chambers too (I believe). I've had boxes of 21g & 24g clay cartridges through my 11-87 with no jamming! N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Cheers guys for all the replys.
