ElvisThePelvis Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Now that my semi auto is FAC I understand that I cant use it for Wildfowl (had I realised initially I wouldnt have had it converted) I will only shoot a few days of wildfowling per year , but need a cheap gun that will withstand the rigours of wildfowling. It also gives me an excuse to have a pump which suits my inner red neck! Suggestions please.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Series Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Id go with a second hand benelli supernova, 3.5inch chamber should you need it. They are well made and most importantly, they look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippermaj Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I recommend the SXP as well, cheap and very reliable, easy to pump and easy to shoot. Safety is in a funny place but you get used to it. If you get one I strongly suggest a round of clays first. I was used to pumps but not where the safety was and took it out first time one evening with minus temps and had what I thought was a slam fire. Winchester tested gun for me and no fault found. Must have been frozen figures fumbling on what I thought was the safety but wasn’t, nearly shot my dog! Used it now since last part of last season, shot plenty of geese duck and pigeon with it, left and rights no problem even with the 3.5 inch mags although you do know you have fired a mag shell! Great guns and great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
