Farmer-of-the-Futre Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Heyy all After flipping between a pcp and a new shotgun i have got heaps for advice and really thought hard about the futre and i can see i would get so much more use from a new shotgun. I currently have an old laurona s/s 20 bore and after using my dads new silver pigeon i seem hooked to over and unders. Also i can actually hit something with them! So what i would like to know really is what is a good second-hand over and under (12) my price range may very but £650 being the limit is about right. I would like steel proofing (so i dont have to get a new gun if a lead ban comes) and preferably a single trigger and multi-choke but those two arnt essential. I am sure there will be alot of varied awnsers but i dont know a whole lot on the o/u side or things. Thanks in advance, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanH Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Plenty of Lanbers on guntrader for that sort of price and below, not 100% on there steel proofing but I am sure someone else can clear that one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 save another £100 and you're in to silver pigeon territory. I paid £750 for my 687SP sporting and I'm pleased with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a beaty, dont know how many carts its had through it but then again, i am buying second hand so i have to expect a good gun to be used well. Telford is a bit of a treck and not sure i would like to post it not having mounted the gun. Might be in the local gunshop for a look soon mabey next weekend I will be working this harvest so could soon earn back a quater of the price for that gun (if i work hard ) Thanks evryone else, any other brads reccomended? What are Miroku and rizzinis like? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTsHoT-10 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Winchester 101 xtr is worth considering,am sure you could find a nice example for £650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Winchester 101 xtr is worth considering,am sure you could find a nice example for £650. http://www.gunwatch.co.uk/guns/24-Winchester-101-XTR-Lightweight-for-sale Yep and Miroku are very similar to browning (and very very good) might find a MK60/MK70 in your budget http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/110502173655904 looks ideal! http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/110512164349001 Are what i would be looking at.

Mickthemiller Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi Iv'e got a Beretta S686 Special its a great gun still tight seen very little use and I picked it up for £550 private sale, I think that I was lucky but it goes to show if you are patient and keep looking good guns are out there, personally I would stick to a good quality 2nd hand gun like Beretta, Browning, or Miruko they last for ever, and spares are available.

gixer1 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Beretta, beretta, beretta! They are just good reliable guns a 686e or such like should be picked up for your budget secondhand and should last a lifetime if looked after properly.

Farmer-of-the-Futre Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks for the replies, beretta seems to be booming out atm and they are solid guns, although my dad has only had his new one a few months i think i have taken it out more than he has and it just such a thrill to shoot and hold, would be great if i could get my own beretta and mabey could just up my budget slughtly if i have some more work in store in summer (might have to opertunity to work for another farmer) so any more posts welcome and ill keep an eye out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerettaSV10 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 This one, if it was good enough for this lady it must be good. http://www.gunwatch.co.uk/guns/589-Beretta-Mod-S686-Special-Sporting-for-sale atvb Paul. The price looks good, could do with better pics to see more details, well worth requesting more info on it. The main thing though is make sure when getting a gun ensure that it fits you.

Hotshotnot Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Have a look at a Browning 525 sporter before you commit. It's a fantastic piece of kit for the money and will give you years of reliability. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Winchester 101 xtr is worth considering,am sure you could find a nice example for £650. Very true you will not find a better balanced o/u in my opinion Edited May 17, 2011 by fenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbox99 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Another vote for a lanber from me. Very nice gun and a bargain at the prices they sell for 2nd hand. Do not buy a new one as you`ll loose money in depreciation on them. I find the lanber looks lovely - nice wood, nice solid quality feel to them. They are multichoke, have nice balance and I enjoy using mine whenever I get it out of the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
