Albert 888 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Have a look at webley and scott 810 and 812. Had a 3" chamber 810 and it was great, should have kept it, The 3&1/2" versions arnt as good for normal use. Now have a sx3 which is 3&1/2" chamber and this fires clay loads and 3&1/2" steel loads no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 ive got the beretta es100, which was originally a pintail and before that was the benelli 121 sl80, but is now the premium plus.... lol cant fault it. as a workhorse it is exactly what i want. cycles pretty much anything you throw at it and handles really well. you can pick those up for around the 4-500 mark, second hand... the only time i would think about selling it is to buy a M2. brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilberts1989 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Nothing wrong with a hatsan. I have put 1500 cartridges through mine this year already, I only got it the begging of jan. I have had 2 jams, one was after not cleaning it for 600 cartridges lol the other was just a straight forward empty cart didn't eject properly. I only really use 30grm clear pigeons as it is only used as a pigeon gun but use the odd 28grm load sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 what you saying?dont understand any of that mate, i have a hatsan, newest model and nothing wrong with it Thats EXACTLY what I am saying, if you wildfowl 3.5" no problems, Clay shooting go for 3" thats all. Yes I own one, 3.5" and I and wouldn`t swop it for all the fancy names, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thats EXACTLY what I am saying, if you wildfowl 3.5" no problems, Clay shooting go for 3" thats all. Yes I own one, 3.5" and I and wouldn`t swop it for all the fancy names, The best shot I have ever seen has an old Breda (was a five shot now three) he has had it for years you would not give him £50.00 for it Not a member on here he calls us all 'Fieldsport Chav's' "more interested in the name of the gun you own than the names of the birds you shoot". I have never owned a bad gun, loads of cheap one's and fully understand you only get what you pay for....but if you are the type who needs to fit in with what the other boys are wearing in the playground.....pay £1,000.00 and I am sure you will fit in. I do not own a Hatsan as I tend to like older guns, I have fired them many times and can say they are very good guns and have never let me or the owners down.

Mr Rizzini Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Make sure it fits as if you shoot well with it then its a great gun no matter the brand, I personally would buy a Beretta 301, 302 etc as they are renowned for the reliablity.

steveyg Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks to dan2477,I will be trying my 303 Beretta for the first time on Sunday morning.. Fingers crossed the pigeons come out to play. Not fussed if they don't,its just great to get out ,have some banter and get out in the country side. Really looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 you could buy my a400 excel it has only had about two hundred carts fired,i love berettas but just dont sit right with a semi auto,personal choice .i think buying an old auto is a bit risky.

fabarm gamma boy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 iv got a 301 beretta and its still as good as any! still solid, not cartridge fussy at all it will literally cycle whatever you feed it! and oh yeah its 34yrs old! how many other makes do you think could do that? i use it every week on crows and pigeons and i love it!

NffcFarmerBoy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I picked up a remington 1100 trap for £320 in perfect condition- beautiful woodwork with no marks or scratchs, no rust at all and also a kick-eez recoil pad, mine has a 28inch full choke barrel and is perfect on the pigeons out to 60yards, i strongly recomend the gun apart from the weight can be heavy compared to many modern semi's but for the money, thats the last thing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveyg Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 really pleased with the gun,used Eley 32gm 6.5 and cycled perfectly Great Gun, would recommend to anyone just starting . looking forward to the next day out,hopefully very soon...
