Zapp Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 A mate of mine has an Overland in 12 bore. It is absolutely gorgeous IMHO. Pros: It is very, very nice looking, and light as a feather so you wont get tired using it. Cons: It is light as a feather so you will get beaten to a pulp by it if you have a big day or use heavy shells. I would happily own and use one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 To be honest if you are just starting out I would avoid the Overland because you will get knocked black and blue. If it is your first gun I would go for one of the standard weight Bettinsolis or a Lanber sporter. You should be able to shoot either all day long without developing a flinch or getting put off by excessive recoil. The Overland would be a lovely game gun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 IMHO i would steer clear of any bettinsolli. I had one and hated it. For the money you will spend on a new over lander, you could pick up a decent second hand Browning or berreta. Or try a Lanber out. But each to his own in a way. But i would recommend staying away from the bettinsoli range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurchersdad Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 well thanks lads i guess its each to his own i have looked on the web and the lanber sporting delux looks a good buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
