Fredwalton Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I asked about a Bettinsoli the other day and had a great response. Today went to another shop and looked a Lanber and Winchester. All thre are multi choke o/u and priced between 750-850. So my question is which one would people choose? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I don't know about modern Winchesters but I used to have a Winchester 101 26" skeet. Lovely little gun which I bitterly regret having sold. Would buy another at the drop of a hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 out of the 3, the Winchester would get my vote (model dependant...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 A mate has the wincester select,great gun you wont go wrong,the bettinsoli has issues,have had three of them,all three had to have the rebound springs replaced due to one of the barrels miss firing,had one lanber many years ago,it went back after a month as it devolped a crack in the stock,the wincester would be my choice.I believe they are made in Portugal.

winnie&bezza Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Winchester by far. Be a fool to pick the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB525 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Winchester from that list. Lanber and Betinsoli are budget makes, fine for a starter, but you'll more than likely move on from them. For around £850-900 you may be able to get a Browning B525.

WinchesterDave Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I've had my Winchester Select for 6 years now-it was my first shotgun and I can safely say it has never let me down and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time owning and shooting it mine was 750 back then too.

I'm not entirely sure what model it is. I did like it will go and have another look at before I decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredwalton Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Winchester provided it fitted well. I assume the shop I'm buying from can tell me if it fits well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 well it's got to feel comfortable and right when you mount it- the shop should check eye alignment on the bead though yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 well it's got to feel comfortable and right when you mount it- the shop should check eye alignment on the bead though yes. A guy had a lanber he had bought from a dealer,he was struggling to hit what i would think was easy targets,i asked him if i could try the gun,when i shoulderd the gun it just didnt feel right.the reason being it was cast for a left hander,the guy was right handed,he bought the gun new months before,i asked him if the dealer had checked if the gun fitted him,his reply was he would soon get used to it dont worry,it beggers belief,some dealers just dont care they want a sale,it helps if you can take someone with you who knows what to look for.
