REVO Shotguns???Anyone got or tried one?

[sako751sg]

Looking for a junior stocked 20g for the wee fella and struggling a bit.Saw the REVO advertised at a cracking wad but not finding much info or reviews on them.Any other recommendation appreciated but must be O\U and short stocked.Cheers.

I had a similar thought looking for a 20b for my mrs - eventually found somewhere that had them and went to have a look.

 

Well, let's just say you get what you pay for. Yes they are very cheap, but they also feel very very cheap. I didn't even entertain it after holding one, it was truly horrible.

 

I have bought her a little Franchi skeet gun from Wabbitbosher which already had a 13" LOP and 26" barrels. It's 40 years ish old but it cost less than half what the Revo was and will last a lot longer and it is a much nicer gun. 21g Hull Comp X and she loves it.

 

Only my opinion, but I think you would be better off finding a used 20b (or a lightweight 12b) from a better manufacturer and either have it shortened or a new stock made (keeping the old one and therefore retaining the value of the gun). By all means have a look at the Revos, but I thought the quality was horrible.

Take a look at the lincoln premier golds as i have one but think they make a junior stocked version aswell

[fenboy]

Cant help regarding the Revo's but Yildiz and Webley both do / did a junior sized 20 bore so may be worth seeing if there any local to you.

Think Webley just do a junior .410 as im nay seeing a 20,but have been seeing a few Yildiz so think thats the way to go fella.Seem a decent enough buy.

[welshwarrior]

Webley did stock in junior lengths I think chambers still sell them. I believe the junior came with both stocks as my 28 did.

 

Lincoln sell short stocks I think red kite stock them still.

colin

[oscarsdad]

Yep! She used it this morning and she loves it - she hit 5 from 6 on the first stand and me having a gun which cost nearly six times hers and a lot more experience hit 1 lol!

[fenboy]

Webley list a junior 20 bore O/U on their website, may be worth phoning them about availability.

what oscarsdad says about the revo i thought exactly same about hatsans,but the revo felt good abit heavy for 28g,but shouldered well an fitted well so bought it,i think its as good as the other turks,but have yet to try it out.but for a gun i wont use a lot i think its ok for the money.

Revo shotguns are inexpensive and give many an opportunity to enter the field with a New gun.

 

Their range includes pump, semi auto (self loading) and O/U. I am not aware of any SBS they make but stand to be corrected.

 

They are perfectly adequate starter/low usage tools. Do not expect £1, £2, £3K technology, quality, or engineering, but they are far more reliable than the early (or even Later) Hatsan!

 

Expect to pay well under £300 for the REV009 Pump 12g.

 

You have to be realistic!

Not looked at the Revo range but did have a go with an Armsan at the weekend. I have to say the machining and finish for what the guy paid new for it was pretty amazing

Sako,

Ive tried to send you a pm but it says you cannot receive any new messages ?

 

I have a E Rizzini 20G O/U that I had the stock shortened professionally for my 10yr old son

still got the piece so it can be refitted as the lad grows ?

Cheers all for the good advice fellas.

 

Can you PM any pics fella and a wee bit more info,age,M/C?,barrel length etc?

Cheers fellas.Bought a Yildiz from doon the road and picked up yesterday and seems good value for money.Nay frills but will do the wee man.

[welshwarrior]

Used a 410 o/u yesterday it was ok quite agricultural but it hit stuff

[Pillower]

In my opinion, you should steer well clear of Revo, I'm actually disappointed in Sportsman Gun Centre for even stocking them. Our club was going to buy a few as learning guns so I had a good look. The chequering is abysmal, might as well not be there it is that agricultural. The hinge was barely tight and stiff and the gun was supposed to be brand new.

 

Against our advice one of the members bought one anyway, needless to say he regrets it now. The top rib is separating from one of the barrels, the trigger is ridiculously stiff, when our club captain first fired it he thought the safety was on! The stock looks like it comes from a spare pallet in a builder's yard.

 

And what is more? I don't think £500 is particularly cheap. Admittedly it is cheap for a new gun, but considering one can get a second hand Lincoln, Lanber, AYA Yeoman O/U for around that price I believe it offers very poor value for money.
