ChrisAsh Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 How about getting some facts on the reliability of shotgun makes and models, just list gun make and type and any repairs required since 2005 and possibly cost of repair if you feel like it I own a Bettinsoli Diamond sporter 30" m/c owned 18 months no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 25+ year old Beretta. Never missed a beat, still won't lock closed with a ten pound note on the face. Theres a reason they sell so many. Sable boxlock even older, shot 500+ clay loads and a fair few heavies and only a few minor problems, screws coming loose etc. CZ 452, havn't had that long enough to complain but one hole grouping at 50 yards is more than enough for me!

beretta Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) 27 year old beretta 687. 2 ejectors. snapped through ware and tare. 1 enertia block spring. snapped 1 pair oversuze lugs, originals wore out. new barells. originals expanded a bit (1mm o/d) at choke due to amount of shooting, shortened and use for skeet now. 1 ejector spring. thats it. conservative estimate of 250/300,000 carts through. not bad i would say.

Simon123 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Hatsan escort magnum used it on the clay's one, put about 150 - 200 cart's through it and didnt have one blockage - Reliable so far and let's hope it will stay that way :lol: . im sure it will 2 lanbers used mostly on heavy loads - Never missed a beat, but 1's been re-blued and the other needs doing Miroku 7000 used for light loads - Never missed a beat So quite i suppose :lol: Couldn't ask for better really Edited March 15, 2011 by Simon123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephant Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Browning 525 sporter 2007. Keeps banging all day. have noticed however that there is some erosion to the bottom firing pin but nothing to worry about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Beretta 682 Gold E. Must have had it 3 or 4 years now. Never been serviced, never gone wrong. Barrel selector switch migrates over on it's own. It's always done that and I can't be bothered to get it tightened up. I'd just as soon have it welded in position. I never switch barrels, pointless exercise with the same choke in each barrel. If anything had gone wrong in 3 or 4 years, I'd have sacked it. Can't understand people putting up with guns that **** up in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claygone Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 25+ year old Lanber, replaced main springs about year ago, probably had 250'000 carts through it so not bad going. Have stripped and oil finished the woodwork, really needs the barrels re blacking to tidy up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid House Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Old Miroku not had it long enough to comment but looks new after 25 years. Escort no issues to report but who cares it's disposable. My old side by side ( un-named) and long gone was around 50 years old when I had it and only had the barrels replaced once. The action however was replaced twice along with the woodwork but all in all shot like a new one. The trigger guard was a bit loose and the but pad used to fall off now and then but it would have been strait in the bin if it had given me any problems.

Surely if you've replaced the lock, stock and barrels its not the same gun!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
