ikerrison Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi all, I am looking for a reasonably priced (cheap) O/U shotgun. Not fussy about the make but needs to be light as my daughters and wife have just shown an interest in starting shooting and I am keen to give them the “bug”. So ideally I would like a 12 or 20g that is less than 7lb in weight, it would be great if it was multichoke but would consider fixed choke but would like a single trigger. I am mainly a game/vermin shooter and this is probably what the gun will be used for but would probably start them out with a few clays. Now the tricky bit, I only have up to £400 to spend as not sure how long this enthusiasm will last. Please let me know what you have available. Oh and I am located just outside Norwich.

bruno22rf Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 If weight is a real issue then don't forget that lighter guns absorb less recoil - would an Auto be a better bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Was thinking exactly the same thing and there's a tidy browning in private sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikerrison Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks guys, I did consider an auto which would be fine on the clay ground but I suspect slightly frowned upon at the game shoot, however may still be worth thinking about for a starter? Pm sent to Wildfolwerlynn. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 A little over budget but this might suit: https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/368471-yildiz-spzme-20-gauge/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
