wizzard83 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi, I have finally got my certificate through and I am looking for a good first shotgun, however, as ever funds are extremely limited. looking for something around the £300 mark really, or, if it is absolutely necessary, I have a Falcon FN12 PCP .177 multi shot air rifle, that I may consider swapping. The shotgun: ideally I would like an over/under, single trigger, ejector, multi choke, however I realise this is asking a lot for the price, and so am thinking possibly Baikal or Revo. I am open to suggestions though so anything that you think may be of use to a beginner please do let me know. I would like to keep the rifle if possible as it is a beautiful gun and fits me perfectly, but as I say, if it is necessary to get something perfect I will consider letting it go. it is a Falcon FN12 PCP .177 multi shot air rifle. it comes with 2x8 shot mags and 1x16 shot double mag, a Nikko Sterling Gameking 3.5-10 x 44 illuminated scope, a sling strap and a filling bottle. pictures can be provided if required. please do reply and let me know what you have, or any advice (yes, I know I should be looking to spend more but unfortunately that is just not an option so please don't tell me that!). Thanks for your help, and I hope to see you out on the line soon. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killshott Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Contact Wabbitbosher on the trade sales forum. He usually has some good guns at bargain prices. I second the Baikel recommendation, built to last & cheap too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddoakley Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Location? I have a few that may suit you but all would be fixed choke. If you are close enough you would be more than welcome to come and try a few for fit. Edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard83 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 ******, sorry I knew I would have missed something! I'm in Slough, near London. would be open to fixed choke. I went for multi because i'm not sure what would work for me , but would definitely be open to advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizzard83 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 brilliant. thanks oz. so if I am looking at fixed chokes I should try and find 1/4 and 1/2. that's useful to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizzard83 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 for those who are interested the Falcon is the heavier full wooden stock, rather than the skeleton light hunter. pictures are in the links below, abley modelled by my "gun dog" Deacon http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alexcrossland999/media/IMG_20140804_230618296_zpse8c684e7.jpg.html?sort=3&o=6 http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alexcrossland999/media/IMG_20140804_230519398_zps7f011d30.jpg.html?sort=3&o=7 http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alexcrossland999/media/IMG_20150620_193423532%202_zpscysbfhry.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alexcrossland999/media/IMG_20150620_193357421_zpsng3szfmv.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2 http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alexcrossland999/media/IMG_20150620_193930383_zpstmdgpqum.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alexcrossland999/media/IMG_20150620_193306209_zpsdnhzb5n8.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4 Semi Auto jam1e? I have though about it. you seem to get more for your money. maybe that is the way to go,, although I do prefer an O/U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1961 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Look for a lamba sporting lux multi choke 30 inch barrels 3inch Magnus steel proof they do everything you would ever need a shotgun for love mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Semi Auto jam1e?

safc1973 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have an E Rizzini 12b with 5 chokes (2 original, 3 mandel chokes) - cylinder, skeet, 1/4, 1/2 & full. looking for £300 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Don't sell the FN12.....I did and regretted it I'd look for a Lanber or Baikal which you will easily find in as new condition at that price, don't get hung up on multi choke and ejectors, much easier to pick the cartridges out and put them in the bin. Concentrate on hitting the bird before worrying about choke. I bought an old fixed choke Lanber for £140 off Ed years ago, it's still going and my only shotgun! Great in the field and breaks the clays when i do my part. Edited June 22, 2015 by Livefast123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard83 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 thanks livefast, I'm starting to realise that now to be honest. it has kind of dawned on me that even if I do have the options I will probably not know how to use them anyway! Oz said 1/4 and half so if no-one else has any other ideas I will look for that to start... or even maybe a semi auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
