alliance Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) New to this site so hello to all..... I am in the process of purchasing a Lanber sporting deluxe, but have noticed that there seems to be two of the sporting deluxe models, one with engraving faceplates and one with plain plates with lanber engraved in gold, my question is what’s the difference?. Any advice would be appreciated. All the best Alliance Edited February 26, 2013 by alliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Engraving won't help you shoot any better.that's about the only difference, mine has been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennym Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 My engraving & gold inlay makes the gun 32% more accurate while the deluxe name makes it much more pointable giving faster target aquisition, further more in laboratory testing these guns consistently had better velocitys & spread patterns IT'S TRUE, IT'S TRUE IT'S ALL TRUE.

WezC Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I really liked mine, but traded it in yesterday for a Beretta 686 E as I wanted longer barrels I had the engraved one. Never let me down once, so I hope the Beretta is as reliable. Wez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glb8686 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I've seen a few on GunWatch but have been advised not to bother with anything but Browing, Beretta etc. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Well I had a Lanber Sporting Deluxe, plain sides with the gold lettering. Cracking gun. Bought it off a mate who used it regular for clays. I only sold it to fund an AYA No4 as I preferred the SXS. in my opinion, and limited in comparison to some on here, you cant go wrong with a Lanber. Good solid guns. You will probably pay more for a Browning or a Beretta, in some cases a lot more, but realistically will you shoot any better with one? Providing the Lanber fits you well, they will give you years of good service. If you have/want to spend more hard earned money on a gun, maybe with a nicer wood then go for it. Bare in mind though, they all scratch the same on brambles, barbed wire etc. A mate bought a very nice Miroku O/U, used, in top condition. As soon as he came back from the gun shop, thought he would do a few clays in the paddock, and whilst walking through dinked the stock on a concrete gate post Kind regards Jonathan Edited February 27, 2013 by jgguinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glb8686 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 You see, that's my thinking. Some of it comes across as snobbery to me, but i'm new to this I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Its two tubes that shot comes out dressed up to people's taste. They shoot just as well as any other gun, I find them similar to shoot as a Browning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
