TGEvans Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi guys, some info please. I am soon to be Inheriting my Fathers old Side by Side 12 bore but I am not really intending on using it, more sentimental reasons. But due to 99% of my shooting being done with a rifle I dont use my current shotgun much so I will be selling her. But I am thinking of getting an old single barrel to take on walks and also to take out after a stalk for instance. Just wondered what else was out there in the way of single barrel's apart from the Baikals and Winchester Coey's. I know most of you guys will be leaning towards double barrel's but being an amazing shot I never need to hit the trigger twice So any info re single barrels would be much appreciated, Tim.

M.I.A Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 In all fairness just get an auto, cheap as chips and you've got the option of more than 1 shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Singles are quite limited availability what would you use it for? Are you thinking standard 12 gauge? A moderated 20 might be more use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGEvans Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks for the input fellas. Just a gun to take on walks really. Rabbits, Pigeons, Ducks, Squirrels. Local shop got a few Baikal singles and an AYA cosmo in stock. Was thinking of a 20 bore single instead maybe, will make my mind up when I see the right gun I suppose.

Dekers Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the input fellas. Just a gun to take on walks really. Rabbits, Pigeons, Ducks, Squirrels. Local shop got a few Baikal singles and an AYA cosmo in stock. Was thinking of a 20 bore single instead maybe, will make my mind up when I see the right gun I suppose. Singles have limited use, and can be a pain to shoot, literally. If you are really set on one for occasional use then just get a used Baikal, mine is 12G and an ejector, I got it at the Game Fair a couple of years back for £25, excellent condition and tight, I only bought it because I thought...why not for £25, probably used half a box of carts in it, gave it to my lad just before Christmas, he's not sure what to do with it either!

FENDT Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have two single barrel shotguns a baikal that I just retired after 40 yrs of good honest service and a BSA snipe 30'' Barrel and takes a 3'' mag as well a good gun but prefered the Baikal better fit. Never had a 20g myself stick with the 12g more ammo availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGEvans Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Current gun was a Lanber that is about to leave me, but will be taking hold of an old 12 bore side by side. Have just been put on to a Remington 20 bore single barrel.....looks promising! I dont do much with shotguns so it will not get much use.
