tweedledee Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 the 101 action is renowned for being fantastic handling guns,i`ve had a few in my time and after a few berettas i`m back with a 6500 sporter that was one of the last 101s made.great guns and if you find one which was looked after it will last a lifetime.

Gordon R Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Depends on the price. Really well made guns and better handling than most you can buy today. Some spares might be a problem, but they are superb to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf Rat Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Depends on the price. Really well made guns and better handling than most you can buy today. Some spares might be a problem, but they are superb to shoot. I'll second Gordon. Lovely to shoot. Borrowed a 26" sporter once, makes a lot of guns feel like a breezeblock in comparison.
