jhrg Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've been shooting for the last 5 years and am very happy with my basic model Beretta Silver Pigeon 20 bore. I'm now thinking of getting a second gun to act as a spare (15-year-old son starting to get interested). Will stick with 20 bore but otherwise very flexible. I do a mixture of pigeon shooting and walked-up rough shooting. Ideally don't want to spend more than £600, so am probably looking at second-hand (unless there's some cheap wonder-gun out there I haven't heard of). Any advice gratefully accepted!

seeker Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Where do used Berettas start? otherwise those made by FAIR are sold under various names ( Lincoln ... ) or Rizzini. Have a wander round Guntrader.Co for an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I have used a Beretta 687 ( 12) for over 20 years, its been serviced twice in that time and has never let me down, dont put a lot through it mind, maybe 1000 a year average. The AYA number 2 I keep as a back up just does not get used unless I take it through choice. Cant see why you would need a back up but for your son I would suggest the same gun. My daughter (19) is thinking about shooting a few clays and if so I will out the AYA ( one hell of a bargin for someone, had it since 1978, maybe 5000 through it tops ) and replace with another Beretta 20.

HDAV Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 White wing beretta are £700 + used, miroku about the same why not consider upgrading yourself and passing down the current one ? Been looking for one myself for missus and friends but can't find a good one for under £500 I would say if you can go up Market as it will hold it's value well!

jhrg Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sounds like the smart money's on another Beretta then! Many thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
