Simon123 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 beretta 686 silver pigeon, 686E !!! but make sure that you are comfortable with the gun and that it fits you, make and model isn't everything!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timd999 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 When I was recently looking for a gun at a similar price two friends who are both coaches recommended a Miroku MK38 for clay shooting. They last a lifetime and like the Browning and Beretta really hold their value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 As said often above, second hand Browning, Miroku or Beretta. Whatever fits best and is in decent shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Essex gun shop at Romford is not too far from you they have a good stock and appear to do try before you buy. Look them up on Guntrader Uk. I have no vested interest in them only but to say I was that way last year, popped in and was quite impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie10 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Go to Leech and Son in Boreham, much closer and they will usually do good deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 We will all recommend the brand we like, Strictly speaking you can't go wrong with any Beretta/Browning/Miroku But also have a look at the Winchester Select They are almost available new at your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Beretta Browning/Miruko if it was my money. Good sensible advice ,make sure you heed it Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaikat Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks for all the replies guys. We needed up getting a Beretta 686 special from Essex gun. We had an amazing day over at Fennes on the clays today. Can not wait to go again. Addicted might be the word. Thanks for all the advise, really appreciated.
