Gordon R Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Out of those - Remington - no question. Baikal second, Escort a poor third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decroyffe Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 mmm, tried a fare few but only under range conditions. the rifles and shotgunS i've owned have been tried and tested under various conditions. No 1 Air Rifle: AA S200 No 1 Shotgun: Beretta 687 SP Sporter No 1 Rifle: Browning A-Bolt SS Not the best range on the market but very good in terms of value for money, you can only spend what you've got. very happy with the browning at the mo but i'll be looking for a new shotgun later in the year.

dunganick Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I truthfully cant remember, i struggle to think of a gun i havent had a go with, almost all the rifles ive seen at the range ive had a crack with, shotguns again, most of the ones people i know own. Airguns, only what i or friends own. certainly all these: On another note, 4th one down r/h side, anschutz .22mag for sale £50 has a weak firing pin.
