Fen Fowler Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 HI THERE Dazza I would recommend either a second hand Winchester 23 s/s.Its a nice pointable gun,very realiable & you should be able to get one for about the £600 mark.Or if you want an o/u i would go for a Beretta Onyx sport m/c.My mate has one and says it is the best all round gun he has ever owned. again it should just be in your price range! Ihope this has been of help for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Dazza Depends on what you are comfortable with. If I were you, I'd go round a number of local gun dealers and see what they've got, and have a feel. I'm a particular fan of English guns, and for £600 you should get a pretty good boxlock ejector if you wanted to go that way. Personally I hate the winchester shotguns - they have a big and chunky, typically "American" appearance, and the beavertail forends are particularly fat, ugly and not nice to hold. However, I would agree that Beretta Onyx or Silver Pigeon are very good if you wanted a o/u. The thing to remember is that shotguns are essentially just two tubes with a handle and a trigger. What you need to decide is what fits you well, what you like the look of, and most importantly, what you shoot best with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzer Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 for that sort of money I would go for a Lanber o/u m/c.....brand new out of the box.....not top of the range...but not bottom of the range..but a good reliable gun!.......28'' or my fav the 30'' tubes..Have a look ya might be suprised ! All the best Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Dazza for £600 you have a good choice of good quality guns to choose from including Brownings, Berettas and many more especially in o/under multichokes. As HG says go round the shops and try a few for fit and pick one that you feel comfortable with, take your time and don,t rush it and you should get a good gun for that price. Best of luck and let us know what you decide on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Pieman Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I agree with Ern . Get to as many shops as possible and have a 'feel and swing'. You might find something perfect for you, but not a make you had ever considered. Good hunting PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ni Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 hi dazza when choosing a gun try buying one from a dealer who has a clay pigeon shooting range at hand there is nothing as bad as buying a gun you may not be able to shoot well '. our local gun dealer has this and when buying a gun i always try before i buy 600 in my opinion should pick you up a good second hand gun like a silver pigeon or a new gun such as lincoln or lanber dont rush into things mate take your time and pick the right one lots of luck colin ni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
