Bluesden Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi everyone, My first post on this forum - what a wealth of information for a new shooter. As I am just about to get my first over and under shotgun I would like some advice please. I have seen a 'Snipe' shotgun from Italy, but I cannot find this manufacturer anywhere on the web. Anyone know of them or use them? Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeezer Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Welcome Never heard of them but I am a relative newbie to the world - but as a relative newbie, my own advice would be to look to buy a quality second hand gun as if you decide in six months it is not the sport for you, the resale will be reasonable still....let alone if anything goes wrong there is a good after sales support - just my two pence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Club. BSA that is. I had one when I was about 18. Bit of a cheapy, but I could shoot with that gun. I remember a fluke double pigeon as they flew past at low level doing high speed with a fast wind up their tails. I swung through and the second one came down as well. S&B No6 paper with the big primer. Edited April 13, 2012 by fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
