Si-Bore Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi guys I am mainly wanting to shoot pigeon and crows and almost in possession of my shotgun cert (I am a current Airgunner)! I am trying to decide between an O/U or Semi auto! I know the general opinion of semi's in game shooting may rule out the possibilty of being able to take part once in a while, but for pigeon shooting they must be an advantage? What are your thoughts on the two guns mentioned for pigeon shooting? I have approx £500 to spend on a 2nd hand gun for which I want a quality instrument! Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popgun Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 It dosent make any difference what gun you use as long as you can shoot with it practice is the answer, go with whatever takes your fancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-Bore Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Cheers guys! That Beretta sound juicy! I have held a few guns in the shops so I can accumulate a bit of gun knowledge as this is a new area for me. The gun I liked the feel of most of all is a Winchester XTR 101. It felt well balanced and good quality although I havent checked out any decent Semi's yet so can compare. Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
