figgy Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just watched the shooting show on Orkney Wildfowling and Jason Doyle was using a nice looking gun which looking at it on screen thought browning 725 black gold, at the end when it gives you a kit list I was surprised to see it was a Lincoln. It looks a good all rounder with with black action and gold wildfowl and clay also a breaking clay on the action. Heres a link to the gun http://www.lincolnshotguns.com/products/lincoln-vogue-hsx-sporting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Any ideas of price? looks similar to the silver pigeon IV - wasn’t that discontinued due to lack of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Think they`d sell more without the crappy el cheapo gold bling on them ,same goes for various other makes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I like the black and gold actions on guns. Bit different to the usual silver or colour case hardened were used to. For around £1100.00 it’s a chunk of cash cheaper than a Beretta or Browning with black and gold actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot a browning but had the use of a Lincoln on a shoot, I was impressed as I found it to handle very well seems a very good gun for the money ips.

Gerry78 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just my opinion not trying to get at anyone i seen one in the gun shop i buy my gear out of and i was not impressed plus the sell on value of the lincoln would not be same as other guns paying 1100 quid id rather go for a browning beretta or miroku as i say just my opinion and im not a gun snob as i shoot a 40 year old AYA NO3 and browning auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 the resale value is a fair comment. Beretta and browning etc will hold there value better, but om what basis ?? Badge and gun snobbery maybe ?? Once a make gets a name because a few folk of note shoot them well everyone wants one BUT are the lesser known makes really any less reliable or lower build quality ?? After all, all guns with odd exceptions are machine made ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 If I buy a Beretta for £2,000 and sell for 25% loss I am down £500. If I buy a Lincoln for £1,000 and sell it at 50% loss I am still only the same £500 down, and I've still got £1,000 I initially saved. Spending more money to ensure good resale value is not always worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry78 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 IPS Beretta and Browning will hold there value more because there better guns they have proved it for decades your opinion is your opinion Yes most gun companies use machines on there basic models ie silver pigeons and 525s but there better build with better barrels and actions thats why you pay a bit more its not gun snobery its a fact YOU CANT COMPARE LINCOLNS MOST new shooters are told by dealers and gun coaches if you can afford it buy beretta/brownings as there 1st guns THOUSANDS OF SHOOTERS in the uk cant be wrong ive shot lanbers/bettinsoli/bakials/etc the money ive wasted i shoulda bought one of the big two and saved myself a small fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is that in fourty years I have had A LOT of guns ranging from a few hundred to 12.5k and while I accept that high end guns such as my eell are in a league of there own if were talking mid range lets say the 3k mark then there is not much difference as far as I can tell in build quality or handling. I am not including the very very cheap new stuff that is popping up for £500 quid but anything between 1-3k (possibly even more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry78 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 ips not not bigging up any make either the big 2 browning/beretta have been the mainstay of shooters worldwide for years the point im saying if your paying 1100 pound for a lincoln ID rather put the extra money to it and buy browning/beretta or miruko Just my opinion im a working man not rich by any means but buy once and buy right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
