wildfowler.250 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I quite fancy a change of ten bore and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the above two guns? I quite fancy the O/U Lincoln if I'm being honest but I'm still snooping the Internet for reviews. What's the going rate roughly for both guns? I've had a look on G.Trader and so on but the prices vary quite a lot! 600ish about right? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus69 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have an O/U Lincoln in 10 I bought it at the first British shooting show for £350, this's my most used fowling gun it is a joy to shoot. I had the tight choking opened to 1/4 1/4 for steel and it throws a very pleasing pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks very much for the reply! I think I'll go for one if I can find one at the right monies..need to handle one first though to see that it fits. My only other question is whether you have found the gun prone to rusting or the blueing coming off? I'm pretty sure I've read that a couple of times? Cheers again!

Cheers again! to be fair it's being used either on a marsh or foreshore, any gun will rust in the damp especially if it's also a tad salty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues with rust but I did manage to get blood on the barrels which have marked them, as said above any gun used on the marsh will be more prone to corrosion/rust than most other guns, you just need to give em a little more care.

If you clean them well it shouldn't be a problem I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan gun Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Go on the euro guns site they have a few aya's in ten bore flavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks, that's a new site to me! Anyone else got any experiences on the Lincoln or AYA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Which plane of barrels do you shoot better with? I didn`t shoot well with a SBS so personally would have preferred the Lincoln, but now we have 3 1/2" 12 bore semis and they fill the gap well. Get a real gun, like a single 4?

I definitely prefer the O/U but can manage with a sbs. I think the Lincoln seems like a good move and haven't found too much negative about them. A 4 would be sweet but the guns themselves are a fortune!! Do you not get a bit 'bored' of the 3 1/2 twelve? I've got one but you need a proper gun to slay a goose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutty Boots Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 If you are still going to Winkies at the weekend, he has got a 10 bore AYA aswell as a couple of Browning Golds both new and second hand you could look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john12 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 If your still looking for a Lincoln then there is one on gunstar for £725 I think if it's any help to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler325 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 For around £900 you can get a Browning Gold Semi auto. There are also ather makes of 10 gauge like Kestrel and Zambala! I could also recommend a Ugartechea 10 gauge. My dad had one and had no problems with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! I'll take a look at that, only really browse through Gtrader. There was one on there in good nick for £500 but ya snooze ya loose! For around £900 you can get a Browning Gold Semi auto. There are also ather makes of 10 gauge like Kestrel and Zambala! I could also recommend a Ugartechea 10 gauge. My dad had one and had no problems with it Thanks! I haven't heard much about the Ugartechea. Will take a look at the brownings but I don't know if I like the thought of loosing cases that I want to reload due to a semi auto I've tried a Kestrel but didn't hugely fancy it. Anyone tried the SP10? Cheers again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
