bill Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 franchi are owned by bereta you cant go wrong them if it fits, i really like them..the balika are a bit barlle heavy but they are a work hores built on the ruggered side of shot guns i have the 3.5 and im happy with it as its all i could can affored at the moment and will probly keep it for a number of years and see how i hit with it. i have seen and heard horrable things about the 3.5 rem sp sm 11 87 have a good look at the franchi or as every one says and i like them too 391 urika the franchi is a little bit lighter i like lite guns for swinging on fast birds if i had my way and the money i would be looking at a franchi or a recoli operated gun like the benalli or maybe the bereta pin tale es100 for all my shooting but i likre my russain balika for geese 7 or 8 shots with a mag extention with a hundered gesse in your face. the first thing you should look at when buying a gun is fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMMER BURT Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 had a bennelli auto it was so slow that if three pigeon come in you could just about get two shoots in ,but the gun was made in 1977 it was a six shot until the law change,thats the prob with gas recoil just to slow,my 391 can fire all 3 before the first shell hits the floor,had my fitted for me at simpson of newmarket,first class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeTaS Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I have a 391, Franchi Spas 12 (8 shot) & Benelli M3 super 90. Franchi is very fast, Benelli is faster still. The 391 would be good, but mine is only a 3 shot, still it's very fast, and is my gun of choice for the pigeons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everygoodnamewastaken Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Im looking for a 5 shot at the moment. better for the fox drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Although you can make benelli's into a 5 shoter I think it is illegal over here, I may be wrong and anyone on the site can correct me if i'm wrong. You don't need a 5 shoter for foxes anyway because by the time you would be firing the fifth shot the fox would be out of range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Anything more than a 3 shot auto has to be on a FAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 hi red, in my opinion benelli are the no.1 and second the beretta. we use only outo's here,so telling by experience. regards trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Wouldn't go near the Browning semi's. A lot of people have had awful experiences with them including myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 My most expensive shotgun cost me £400 and its more than good enough for what I do. Go and see if you can try them before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 As I'm left handed my choice of semi's is limited. I use a Benelli Montrefeltro Ultralight Field shotgun (5 shot) which is available left handed. Excellent gun, very light but practically no recoil due to ejection system - a revolving bolt which means no gas chamber, making it very easy to take apart and clean. If purchasing a gas operated semi the mechanism will need cleaning quite often under heavy use as this is what usually causes them to jam.

red_stag88 Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Once it is crimped can it be un-crimped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reloder Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi red semi auto's look well good i think when i get my new shot gun, when im 16, i might get one1 :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Red, I have followed this topic for sometime, may I add my threepenneth? Why would anyone want to decrimp? But yes it is possible to do or alternatively fit a new magazine tube.My other observations are as follows southpaws can use R/H semi-auto,s no problem, you don,t really notice the ejected case,Remington,s are fragile,Winchesters not bad nor Brownings but I rate Beretta,s Ulrika, but I have to say in my experience all auto,s have got some real bad bits in them, still you pay your money and take your choice.

digger Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 got the berretta al391 ulrika and its a cracking gun.the only problem i have had is with light loads at clay grounds,sub sonic light shells wont cycle cleanly.occasionally had trouble with 30g 6s but local gunshop advised going from 65mm cases to 70mm and not had a problem since.cleaning is a bit of a chore but other than that its a good all round gun.
