Silver pig Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Has any of the good people on here had any experience with either the fabarm or caesar guerini syren range of shotgun. My other half is convinced she would like one, any thoughts would be much appreciated. Are they really a better fit for women straight from the box? She is 5' 2" and of a petite build.

Harry136 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I would honestly look at the Lincon Premier range for a lady, I bought a 20g Lincon premier for my other half and it is like a toy, nice and slim and lightweight with not much recoil.

Silver pig Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Cheers Harry for your reply, she is shooting a Webley 20g OU at the moment but it is really front heavy with no balance at all. for a fairly light gun it sucks.

steve d Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Does it have to be an O/U......a semi auto would tick all the boxes, lightweight, soft shooting and adjustable stock with the use of the shims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve d Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeah, does look like shes struggling a bit with it. Dont discount the Escort Youth in 20G, fantastic little gun for the money with a short stock and lightweight too. Obviously not as well made as the Benelli, but still a cracking gun. Only downside ive found is, if your Mrs is like mine and dont like getting her hands dirty, being gas operated, iyou seem to end up cleaning it for her!

Silver pig Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Cheers Steve, I don't use the semi much myself. I will look into all the options suggested and let you know what she ends up with, looks like the hunt will begin. Hopefully we will find a good fit from the recommended guns.

slimshooter Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Wife has a CG syren very nice gun light weight barrels, she has 12g with 30inch barrels. You can also get 20g. We went to CG demo day first and shot around with one at Ian coley. They do demo days all over the country. Wife can't fault hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Both guns are far to low in her shoulder forcing her force her head down not keep it up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1961 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Have you seen the yildiz a71 semi auto they are very light I use one for the training at the clay ground especially for the ladies even the most petiet don't find it to heavy and they cycle 21 gram 65mm carts worth looking into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
