elmar fudd Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 ive always shot wildfowl and foxes with my classic sporting, as its heavier than my lowlander there seems less felt recoil, but its still knocks you about alot, so i've been thinking about getting a semi auto for them, as less recoil felt usually and a helpful 3rd shot just in case, as its a foxing and fowling gun its obviously goin to get a good bit of abuse, brambles and mud etc, so i wanted synthetic been looking at the urika 1 with synthetic stocks, and if its 3 inch chambered which i presume it is, its exactly what im after but cant seem to find any s/h ones by me does anyone know what second hand ones usually go for and does anyone have opinions about them? fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 In this months BASC mag The Sportsman gun centre has brand new 391s for £825.

Sharpshooter.123 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Why not just get a second hand beretta semi? I no people hate them but iv got a hatsan escort 3" and it will cycle 21g cartridges all the way up to the biggest 3" magnums if it's kept clean, it's a possibility but also it's down to your own personal preference, and a s/h urika 1 you will be lucky to see one for under £700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmar fudd Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 i do really like the 303's and old 390's but ive only ever seen wood stocks, and i did think about a hatsan but thought id be better off with the beretta as they hold there value better fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I don't think they do a synthetic, I was buying on a budget and got a brand new hatsan 3" 26" barrels for £250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfowler12 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Dont laugh... But my Webley 812 (pritty much an escort with a new badge) hasn't let me down yet.

elmar fudd Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 hmmmm mentioned it to a freind and he said he had a hatsan but he filed the edge of the bolt face a tiny bit and it never jammed once after that sounding abit better and much cheaper, suppose im going to have to try and shoot them both and see how they feel to me fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utectok Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I have shot beretta and benelli SAs and I think the benelli handles better more pointable lighter and less trouble with the inertia system than gas powered systems Each to his own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
