Frenchieboy Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm sure that it would be easier for members to advise you if you could give a little information about what type of shooting you hope to do or what quarry you might be going after. These things can have a baring on what type of gun might suit you best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangey Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 i am looking to get my 1st shot gun, really fancy a semi-auto at the min, any ideas of a good 1st gun? any make beginning with a B will do you well.just make sure the gun fits you or you will end up swopping and changing,shop around and pick up and try as many as you can before you spend your money,dont just buy one because its cheap because you will only end up upgading to a better gun and loosing money...good luck,theres a lot to choose from out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 how long have you been shooting? What have you been shooting with? O/U? Semi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Don't even consider anything that sounds like a Hatsan Escort, just look at the VAST number of problem threads here and on any shooting forum you can find. Frankly, almost anything else will work fine, gas recoil gives you a tougher cleaning job, inertia systems are cleaner, they all work. Beretta, Benelli, Browning, Remington, Winchester, etc etc etc, hell thay are all fine, just get one that fits you and you are comfortable with. ATB!
