welshwizard Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have seen a Lanber o/u 12 gauge for sale but also a very nice Laurona local to me , not sure of the models but nothing much in price difference ,so how do you find them for the better , where are they each made , both models have set of interchangeable chokes ,and will be used for clay and rough shooting . Would appreciate current or past owners advice of them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I had a Lanber delux a few uear back now and it didn't feel as solid as my new Laurona. Both were M/C and current models. I much prefer the Laurona but thats just MY personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I had the Lanber almost 5 years and went in for repairs 5 or 6 times so now gone but I did like the gun.I have a Laurona that I got new nearly 30 years ago and it has never failed once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwizard Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just been talking to the guy with the laurona its the " Eibar " model with 3" chambers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Mine is the 3" chamber version with schnabel forend and the gap between the top and bottom barrels. It has been mistaken for a miroku on a few occasions. I got a real bargain. I got it for £300. Having only fired 50 carts. The guy couldn't get away with it so traded it in. I jad the choice of This gun or a rusty Lanber field for £350 I love it. Never been a problem and fits fairly well. I managed a few good scores on clays with it. How much is he wanting for it?

Mungler Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Get the money together for a second hand beretta - built like grandpa's tool shed, decent warranties, everyone likes them and when you come to sell it, you'll stand the best chance of getting your money back i.e. you won't be spending anything, you will merely be moving your money into a beretta and then back out again. Decent 2nd hand multichoke berettas are anywhere between £500 and £800 depending on how flashy you want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Out of the two - Lanber and Laurona - I believe that Laurona are more durable, also with a chrome finish inside and outside of the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Not having ever owned a Lanber I can't comment on them. I have a Laurona Ebar which is a 3" magnum what Multi Choke that I picked up second hand. I have owned quite a few shotguns in my time but i have to say that I would not dream of changing my Laurona for any other shotgun. It is well built, fits like a glove, fairly light to carry around and use and most importantly of all it has never let me down. I'm sure that much the same can and will be said of the Lanber but as I have said I have no experience with a Lanber so can not comment!

Evolve82 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just been talking to the guy with the laurona its the " Eibar " model with 3" chambers . I have got one of these! As others have said- fits like a glove, never had any probs! The gun is older than be and I believe it will outshoot me in years!! Mine is not proofed for steel though.
