Guest cookoff013 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 i`ve been looking for a new semiautomatic for ages, i just havent taken the plunge. lately i`ve seen several new economy models apear on the market. the first was the beretta ES100 or pintail, these didnt sell well. then there is a benelli version that looks identical called the benelli premier plus. although its such a high classy gun that they dont advertise it on the main benelli page. then there is a new beretta automatic, called a300 outlander, are they any good? i`ve not heard a thing about them.

deputy dog Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Winchester SX3 is a good all round gun for sub grand semi auto. Never had any trouble with mine with jamming or other problems. Light,pointable an good to shoot. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Franchi well worth a look stifled by GMK who would rather sell a cheap beretta/benelli than a better gun with a cheaper price tag (Stupid they all go through the same distributor in the UK). http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/121703-franchi-fast-reviewfirst-impressions/ http://www.gunmart.net/gun_review/franchi_fast_semi_auto_shotgun/ http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/091020095015001 Edited December 22, 2011 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweedledee Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 i have had 3 712 raptors and can't rate them high enough.know for sure it would be top of my list when i buy another auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Fast uses the Benelli/Franchi Inertia system 712 is Gas as are the older models IIRC If they a did them with a LH action I would probably own one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu nesling Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 yup inertia system, not gas.... still prefer my gas 712 though. good luck in finding the right gun for you depends on what you want to spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan gun Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Berreta a303,al391 Or any of the franchis would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 get a raptor 712,i had one and it was a great gun,unfortunatly I hadn't been shooting long when I bought it so sold it believing an A400 would make me a better shot,only practice can do that.The raptor is a top piece of kit,it reminds me of the new A400 light in weight and balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
