DaveB1 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 hi after going shooting agian after 10 year gap i really enjoyed it so i am now doing the long wait for a licence, so at the moment i am using Armi silma supreme sporter (well my dads gun ) think that it has a 30inc barrel just woundering if the lengh has anything to do with my height/size? also been looking at a berreta silver pigeon 1 would like a clay gun but maybe do some game shooting later on. is this gun a good all rounder? any help would be great thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altnipper Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) You mean length of barrel I presume? I don't really think so bar maybe smaller framed people may want a lighter easier wielded gun? I think the trend for sporters is getting longer barell lengths, thinking behind it is it's meant to give a smoother swing and stability. If you want a clay gun that you use for game also then I'd prob go for 28 or 30inch but not worry about it too much. Not sure about silver pigeon.

gazzthompson Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 berreta silver pigeon 1 is a lovely gun. Browning, Miroku Etc are all great as well. As for barrel length, How tall are you? But at the end of the day if I was you I would try first hand in a shop if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent five weeks looking and trying all sorts of guns and found one that not only fitted but feels real good when mounting. Turns out it is a 25 year old Laurona o/u with 15" lop and 30 " barrels - real gem - not very pretty but I want it to shoot things not look good. Just have a look around and handle as many as you can and you'll know what feels good and what doesn't. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altnipper Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) You can always get the gun fitted. I've found this well worth it before so finding a gun with a correct lop and other measurments thats right off the shelf isnt essential Edited January 4, 2013 by altnipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
