Shadowchaser Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I currently shoot clays mainly with my Xtrema2, and it is a fine gun. I am looking into the possibility of purchasing a more sporting semi auto for clay purposes. I've been looking at the likes of the Browning Maxus line or the other guns in the Beretta range. I'm just pondering whether or not to part ex the Xtrema to boost my budget for a brand new gun, or to buy a sub grand gun and keep the Xtrema. Any ideas, advice would be welcome. I like to do as much research as possible before spending my ill gotten gains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowchaser Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hello mate i have a used once browning fusion 30" barrels you can have for £650 Mark Ah I should've said in my post that I'm not yet ready to purchase. Probably in a month or two. Thanks for the offer though, always appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I made that mistake Gone full circle and now back to an Xtrema2 and a lot lighter in the pocket for it My advice, unless you prefer a light gun, keep it if you get on with it. There is no other auto that is better in anyway. No point trying to fix something that aint broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdX Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I shoot clays with a Maxus Hunter and it works just fine for me and is a great gun. The Carbon 'sporting' version is also very highly regarded by those that have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Before parting with your cash try a Benelli Supersport if you can. According to the Benelli blurb its a dedicated clay gun - I'm very pleased with mine and its used solely for sporting clays. Being inertia operated its quite light but this does make it fast handling which I like personally. Best thing to do is try as many as possible before you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon123 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Have a look at the Winchester SX3 Flanigun Red edition. Beautiful gun, light, colorful , cycles a range of cart's, look's different and also looks the part :good: , but only if it fits you tidily ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelsie Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 see if you can try an sx3 youll probably like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Just used my new benelli m2 and it's great, am well happy with it :-) defiantly look at the benelli as the feel of quality about it leaves the winchesters not much above that of hatsons in my opinion, I was looking at the sx3 at first but it simply didn't compare feel,fit and quallity wise for me !

captainstoopid Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I agree with some of the others, try an SX3. I have the composite one with 3 1/2 chambers, perfect for pigeons, wildfowl and clays. Virtually indestructable, well worth considering.
