Lunn Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 After getting my Shotgun certificate and looking around my local gun shops I have found two guns that I like and that fit really well. I cannot decide between a Lanber Sporting Deluxe at £450 or a Pointer 612 at £555. Having not heard much about Pointers I am unsure about it so I would love some info from anyone who owns one or has shot one so I can decide. Would it be worth spending 100 quid more or shall I go with the Lanber? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipe_g Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 my experience - that is not much compared to other people around - is that the lamber shotgun is a good gun for the budget you mentioned. I shot with it and i liked the gun :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRDS Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 My advise would be to to buy a SH Miroku / Browning or Beretta, far better than buying a new budget gun. £ 550 would get you in the territory, have a look on Guntrader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Lots of people really like the Lanbers, £550 barely gets a Beretta/Browning few Miroku but a Lanber with a couple of slabs of carts may be better value...the gun shop Rugby have a ground near by where you can try some of the guns before buying well worth a trip IMO.

Really :blink: There are 77 Mirokus / Brownings / Berettas at £550 or under on Guntrader and if you stretch to £600 there are 93. Some of the older Mirokus are superb and far better than modern budget guns. Edited August 12, 2010 by JRDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbach Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 when i was looking for a gun i found that if i went into a shop and told them that i had a budget of £x, and was looking for a s/h gun, ,they then started offering heavy discounts on the new ones which were close to being superseeded by new models. i picked up a new 20g bettinsoli from sportsman guncentre rrp £699(still on the box)..paid £400 with 50 carts and a cleaning kit to get me going! only went in for a s/h gun and a budget of £350 but came away well pleased. give it a go, and good luck! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
