Millomite Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Following on from the 20 bore topic, I've been thinking about getting a 20 for a while. My girlfriend can't lift my Lanber so a 20 bore is probably the best thing to get her (well me mainly, but you see where I'm coming from). We'd probably have somewhere in the region of £800 to spend, what would you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Millomite, long time, anyway to your dilema, look for a 391 urika 20g semi, i got one for my mrs she loves it, actualy so do i, lovely tool mutli choke 28"/30" no problem with weight or recoil, another option would be the franchi, having used both extensivley i recomend you go for the Berreta.

Mungler Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have a 20g Franchi semi auto for the missus - the gun is as light as a feather and you don't even notice when you fire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Does it have to be an auto? (I didn't see the other thread) that sort of money would almost put you into Beretta country for an decent O/U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 No mention of semi-autos on the other thread, I don't think, Stuart. Ditch the semi-auto option. Track down either a second-hand Beretta Silver Pigeon or a Miroku MK70. The Silver Pigeon is easily the best, and most elegant off-the-peg 20-bore. It just looks 'right' - the entire gun is made to proportionally fit the little yellow cartridge, rather than other manufacturers simply grafting 20b barrels onto a 12b action. The Beretta is also ridiculously popular with novices and experienced Guns alike. I use an SKB O/U 20, a Beretta (as above) and an AYA sidelock 20. The Beretta kicks the behind out of most guns. The nicest 20 I've shot so far was a Browning B25 'Diana', but that's a wee bit over your planned budget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
