I know of a gunshop near me that won`t stock or trade Hatsans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon predator Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi walker! The beretta is ace mate, really pleased with it, light and very pointable, tried 24gr carts to see if they would cycle properly, just out of interest as i use 30gr myself but they worked fine, I tried beating it too, pulling the trigger as fast as I could to see if that would cycle ok to or jam with the rapid fire, but all 3 shots went off perfectly as fast as i could pull the trigger, mega rapid. I honestly can't fault it mate ifs a great bit of kit, got it for £715 new too so it's a bargain! Happy days! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yickdaz Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 My recommendation would be a browning maxus - mine has only ever had one stoppage in around 1500 carts through it so far and it shoots lovely. Not cheap though, but you get what you pay for! not a lot of experience with autos but the maxus is a great gun to shoot don;t use it that often to be honest just because i like using my o/u still had a lot of shells through it and cycles any shell you put in it.

Nice to hear that good manufacturers also make a bad gun one in a wile, so why dont you stop critersizing the hatsan. Thanks for putting this up 'monster1971', but what a shame that you made a loss on the gun after all their supposed to be good guns Edited February 18, 2011 by Simon123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have one of the original Benelli M90 121 semi autos. Paid £200 for it about 18 months ago and use it purely for hide shooting so it gets wet and mucky and knocked about quite a bit. I rarely clean it. Just squirt some oil in every now and then. Must be thirty five years old and still runs like a sewing machine. The only downside is the Benelli Button that can be a pain sometimes.

That's actually pretty encouraging for me, Clive - I was a touch worried anout the longevity of semi-autos given the fact they have more moving parts than your standard sxs or o/u.
