retromlc Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'm thinking about a Raptor myself, what year did the 'later' ones start please? not sure exactly,but mine had "made by Benelli"stamped on the barrel,i got mine about 2 years ago,wish I'd never sold it really as it was very nice,I remember why now,it was because the action is polished and I thought it was showing up as I was in the hide,it probably wasn't that much but I wanted an A400 so needed a reason to sell it,back to back against an A400 honestly nout in it.if your're on a budjet of less than £550 then a Raptor is a good choice,considering an A302 is for sale on here for £450,which is a really old gun regardless of condition,Why buy a Ford XR3 when you can have a newish ford focus for the same money? nostalgia?

njc110381 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks for the offer TDS, but I think I may go with a Beretta when the time comes. And at that price it's not that cheap as something to buy until I can afford one. Not saying yours is overpriced, rather that it is priced close to the gun that I know suits me, so I may as well buy that. On another note it will be a while before I have that sort of money so wouldn't want to mess you about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that. I'm wavering between a Fast, a Raptor, a Comfort and a Urika. I suspect it'll come down to whats around and what fits at the point of buying.

JonD Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have 2 391's and either is yours for 10K lol, I really won't part with them. As for the Benelli, yes, they are are a fantastic gun but really knock me about, i'll take gas any day. NJC, at 5' 6" the Beretta should fit you well, or be shimmed so it does. I'm 6'5" and have 1" added to the LOP on both 391's I have. Good luck in your search The 391's seem to be going up at the moment, well most guns are. Jon.
