pigeonater Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I had one for about 7 months and it started double discharging - scary the first time it happens - traded it for a Silver Pigeon which has been superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Bit like an MG, I do love my overland but would I recommend it to a friend, no, and the reason being the known common faults, my sporter has been in repair more that it has been in the field since purchase in 2009 and my overland suffers misfiring issues every 20/30 cartridges with what looks like a light strike on the primer cap. hi the reason they tend to miss fire now and again is the rebound springs for the pins are to strong and as the main springs weaken over time they cant compensate easy fix is to have the springs changed for weaker ones, i did and its fine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintail Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 i bought a bettinsolli 12 gauge diamond line, and all went well for a year and then misfires, double discharges, broken springs, just got fed up with the thing allways in the gunsmiths, bought a miroku mk60 and had no problems at all with it, but must admit the engraving and wood is better on the bettinsoli but it dont do you no good when the gun is allways letting you down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisAsh Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Had my Diamond for over two years and good few thousand clays, no problems, Quality all shotguns now made by CNC machines so no reason for poor quality Woodwork is quite good for budget gun Bettinsoli are mechanical second shot not recoil so maybe older guns had a problem with that if dirt gets into works, Tell me a gun make that has not had a fault, but nearly all are far between now days A interesting point is if you look at all shotgun makes, the better wood doubles or triples the basic price which doesn't say much for the gun itself when a basic gun with great wood is more expensive than maybe the next higher gun in the range with poorer wood All in I will keep mine a few more years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Why buy one when you can get a Beretta 686 for same money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Why buy one when you can get a Beretta 686 for same money? If I'd seen a Beretta for £500 with multichokes, case and slip and cleaning kit, I'd have had a serious look...come to that, if I'd seen a Beretta 686 at 500 quid I'd have taken a serious look!
