hunter87 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 For a starter gun you could get more of a named brand better have a look on gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 What one are you thinking of getting mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Pelt Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Lots of choice of Turkish made shotguns : Hatsan Revo Webley & Scott Armsan (Benelli look alike) Weatherby (Beretta look alike) probably others. Last two definately worth a look. How much shooting are you thinking of doing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidbj123 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Oh right ok! Not a lot at the moment 4 times a month on clays then maybe the odd days when I get invited to got pigeon shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have a 28g for my son, the O/U non ejector. They are fantastic for the money, come up nice, shoot fine, plastic case, full set of chokes. They are not however browning or beretta, but you could get a .410, 28, 20 and a 12 for the price of a new style beretta. There was a thread on here about them a week ago.

Davidbj123 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yeah they don't look half plus he price is good! As long as I can hit things with it I'm happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Of it don't fit doesn't matter how cheap or good value it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 1985 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I've been using the Revo Onyx 12g O/U at lessons with my coach. I don't know a huge amount about guns yet, being a newbie, but it seems to me that you get what you pay for. The safety is very imprecise and can require a bit of shoving about and the top lever started sticking last time I used it. That said, they are cheap and I saw a review of the game version on Gun Mart and they seemed to think it was a good buy. http://www.gunmart.net/gun_review/revo_premium_game_o_u/ My coach's advice was not to buy one as my first gun.

If your starter gun is your only gun get a reliable one ; one that won't break down on you with moderate use and leave you with no gun. I'm happy to leave the brand snobbery to the socially competitive but you do get what you pay for at the budget end of the market ; strip what you are looking at before you buy it, as if you were cleaning it, and look at the build quality, if you haven't done it before get the seller to show you (if he's unhelpful go elsewhere), then try and work out if the build will take your level of work without packing in. Shop around ; the people you return to to buy from again and again will operate on service not on price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidbj123 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Are semi autos alright when shooting clays ? Atm I'm using a O/U in my lessons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 There is a reason you will see 80% OU at clays and 10% semi and 10% SxS...... At the Olympics it was 100% OU. Why would you choose a semi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter87 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Get the best you can afford and think about getting a gun with a good resale value if your budget allows that way if down the line you decide you wanna sell it you wind be out of pocket to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie148 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have the Onyx sporter and it took ages to get that delivered. I know there are the you get what you pay for and steer well clear from turkish guns, I use this gun for clay shooting and it works well. In the package it comes with you get a manual on the khan Artimis which it is known as in other countrys. The way I look at it the gun works well and it works without fault that's good enough for me.

Buy a new revo for £400 and sell it for £200 = £200 loss. Buy a new beretta for £1500 and sell it for &900 = £600 loss. OK I accept you can get second hand, but as a new shooter, do you know what you are buying? Also it's nice to have a new gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Buy a new beretta for £1500 and sell it for &900 = £600 loss. OK I accept you can get second hand, but as a new shooter, do you know what you are buying? Also it's nice to have a new gun. Buy a used beretta for £900, sell it for £900................. While it might be "nice to have a new gun" your throwing 20% away as soon as you walk out the shop........ Get the right advice and make sure it fits, buying from a reputable dealer you will get a warranty even on a used gun and on a good make like Miroku, beretta, browning you will have little worries as parts are easily available and most gunsmiths can repair for reasonable money. Beretta are particularly good on parts as long as you dont buy a shot out gun ( 500,000 + shells on a browning miroku beretta) you will be fine.... It is odd the coach uses it for lessons but doesnt reconemnd it unless he just bought the cheapest gun he could find or it doesn't fit you (in which case it should not be used for your lesson!)

hunter87 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 HDAV THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING IF YOU WERE NOT SO QUICK TO JUMP ALL OVER MY POST! GET THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD A SECOND HAND BERETTA FROM THE START AND YOU WONT LOOSE MUCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Noolas Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Bought a second-hand AYA Yeoman 35 years ago for £200 and it is worth about the same now. Never had any problem with it at all, except it keeps on missing high and fast pheasants for some strange reason.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 1985 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Interesting did he say why? Was it fit or quality? In my case it was both. He said that the best thing would be to buy a better quality second hand gun when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackinbox99 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 There is a reason you will see 80% OU at clays and 10% semi and 10% SxS...... At the Olympics it was 100% OU. Why would you choose a semi? Think its down to personal preference, but whilst I do have an o/u I use my Beretta semi & my Sabel SxS the most on the clays. Mainly because I get on better with them. But your right, most people I see at clays tend to use o/u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
