Scully Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Nephew owned a Lincoln Jubilee Prestige as a teenager. It was a nice gun but resale value was atrocious. Made by a European conglomeration of makers FAIR. Edited September 20, 2017 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not bad not good just Lincolns Nickerson imported italian also ran why get one when you could have this front runner from the land of the rising sun for a lot less, this will be functioning faultless when the Lincoln is languishing in the back room of a gunsmiths beyond practical repair. https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/362561-skb-single-selective-trigger-ejector-12-gauge/.

Certainly makes you question the prices of top end Berettas and the like when you look at that, Miroku GRD5's make them look well over priced also but that Lincoln especially.

Indeed. I am beginning to think we are falling for brand pricing, designer guns if you like. I am going to rfd in a bit and will report back on if the Lincoln looks as good in real life as it does on pics. I will of course give it a good shake to see if any bits fall off 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BoreFan Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm looking at one tomorrow as well so let me know what you think I'm looking at one in 20 bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Something tells me the figuring in the stock and forend isn't real. If it was, the wood alone would be worth far more than they're asking for the whole gun. Isadore Rizzini (FAIR) has been making guns for quite a long time and those Lincolns strike me as good value. Don't buy one if you plan to shoot 25K rounds per year, but as a general purpose field, clay and loaner gun it looks perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 lets face it them skb o/u are ugly brutes tho,,,not like their nice sbs ones. I like the functional appeal of them, Merkel and the AYA Coral share similar lines tho perhaps not for all tastes aesthetically with regards handling they out weigh the Teutonic styling.

ips Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Lincoln vogue 30" 12bore game gun ok...now that I have shot the Lincoln an honest review..... ......i absolutely love it. Still cant fault it, fits like a glove handles very well, shoots (for me) way better than the 687. Shot a driven partridge day today and hit first partridge first barrell with 1/2 and it folded and landed at my feet (pretty much) what a confidence boost...imo this is one seriously good gun for naff all money. Three other guns asked to look at it and what it was, I said handle it, look at it then I will tell you. All three liked it and when I told them it was a 1k Lincoln they couldn't believe it. I say again this is one seriously good gun. Edited September 23, 2017 by ips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I have an old no2. Still going strong, nice and tight where it should be. My mate who's just paid £2.5k for a gun always remarks on how nice the engraving is. It shoots straight, just a pity I can't lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
