Gunman Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I understand they come from the same stable as the Khan guns . These I would recommend to my worst enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJsDad Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Get something with a name and spares back-up behind it. There`s a good reason Beretta autos hold their money; they are bomb proof reliability wise and in the unlikely event you break a firing pin or spring you know you can get it fixed in short order. I am with the previous posts, albeit never owned one and no burning desire to do so ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini52 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) If you buy a cheap beretta,use it the chances are you can resell it for what you originally paid,buy a cheap new auto from turkey,it looses half its value as you walk out the shop,providing it stays in one piece.

Bleeh Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 When Escorts first came out, they where poo for a couple of generations of model before they got sorted, and I can see this gun being very similar.Either hold back for a couple of years, or better yet buy a reputable make for the same money second hand.

Do new Berettas not lose a lot of value as soon as you walk out of the shop? maybe not half.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not everyone can afford a Beretta , some can but cant justify the price for the amount the gun will be used , people dont want to be sitting at home saving for a gun they want to be out shooting. I know nothing of the Revo autos so cannot help there but I have heard very good things about the Armsan ones which are a similar price , also the later hatsans seem to get better reviews and are alway coming up S/H on here for £200-£300.

brett1985 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I dont own a revo but have shot them. Not a bad gun for the money. Fit and finish is ok, only jammed up on really light loads but i think thats probably due to it being new and inertia driven. I couldnt fault it in all fairness. Cant comment on long term reliability though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkfanz Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 havent tried the revo auto,but i have a game o/u revo in 28g built rather like a baikel,lot of gun for little money,i do have a berretta a300,but i have an armsan 20g s/a i cant find anything wrong with the cheap turkish gun.in fact my mate says he,s avin one an he uses a beretta unico as well.it dont matter if it gets knocked about at the price,but if you knocked a good make about no one would touch it anyway.cant see any problem with cheap n cheerfull.

OvEr_KiLL Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 well the revo will be around £425, so i guess thats his budget, he could get a nice used semi for that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jntree Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Seems to me ppl would rather go for the brand name straight away, well that's not me! and after having a play with the revo today and putting it against a second hand berretta,hatsan and a browning the revo was the most fun out of all of them and just felt right, the bonus is its steel proofed and 3" magnum witch makes it perfect for what I intend to use it for. don't judge a book by its cover so to speak! the revo is a cracking little gun!

Reeceknight Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I don't own one of these but I know someone that does (not sure if its that exact model, looks different) and he has smashed the granny out of it for about 10 months in all weathers and seems to be still going mate with no problems. That's not to say it won't fall apart next year but I thought I would let you know. everyone has a different opinion with guns just like with cars, some like Lamborghini (beretta) and others like lotus Elise's (REVO and hatsans) cheaper but get the job done. depends on your budget and taste. I bought a bettinsoli xtrail for clays despite people saying not to and I loved its looks and it was the comfiest gun I tryed so bought it. Good luck either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Pelt Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 These Revo / Armsan / Turkish threads are becoming more frequent ; perhaps it's time for a definitive list of Turkish made shotguns ? For starters : Hatsan Revo Webley & Scott Armsan (Benelli look alike) Weatherby (Beretta look alike) ... anyone care to venture some additions ? There must be others.

Danoi99 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 It is better to stick with a well known brand mate. The best advice is to get the best gun you can afford...........ask yourself this: Is a Revo semi the best I can afford? probably not sir. Keep looking and don't rush into it...........and don't listen to the dealer that is desperate to get you walking out his shop with a gun that is otherwise destined to collect dust on his shelves !!! Spend a tiny bit more and try and lay your hands on a second hand Beretta A391 or similar !! ( not being a brand snob.........sensible ). Happy hunting !!

ChrisAsh Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Makes you wonder why there are so many second hand Beretta's around and with Beretta's in particular they have to make a massive selection of guns with very little difference to get people to upgrade Just buy the gun you like and what feels best, so little to go wrong with modern guns or old ones that a good gunsmith cannot fix in a day, I have had next day spares for a 20 year old Remington 1100 410 model, so don't worry about spares, on any modern gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
