Cambs shooter Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could give me any feed back on the Lincoln Elite 12 bore. I shoot a Bettinsoli at the moment and have started getting a few problems with it and was thinking of buying an Elite. Thank You Brian.

Bad Monkey Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hmmm, 50 views and no replies! ok, i'll chip in. Can't speak specifically of the Elite but i do own a 26 year old Lincoln No2, it was bought new in 1985 by my father-in-law, he's a game keeper, so it's had a hard life and has been faultless since the day he purchased it. He bought the gun as a working gun and has been seriously impressed by it's quality and reliability, more so than his beloved AYA No2 which is newer, far more expensive, used less, and recently had to have the locking mechanism repaired to cure a 'headache' In short, i rate Lincolns, read lots of good things about them, and mines lived up to the reputation.

M.I.A Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 From what i have read and seen they are a very good gun. How much is it out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Heard a few negatives on Lincolns at the clayground. but a good shooting friend of myne has an old Lincoln which is faultless. It was well used before he got it and he has put thousands of shots through it. No problems what so ever. Can't comment on the model you are asking about though.

WelshLamb Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have a Lincoln premier no2, 20g. Lovely little gun, nice wood. I'd definitely have another lincoln! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've had a Lincoln No.2 for a while now and it hasn't let me down yet, fantastic value for money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the problems you getting with the bettinsoli are miss fires its common its most proberbly the rebound springs, easy fix any good gunsmith can sort it.
