08shooter Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 there is a lot to choose from,beretta 30 series will be well within your reach as will remington. new escorts and baikals will be roundthat price too and even lower. 2nd hand franchis 712 range are worth a look too as are the winchester x2 range. lots to choose from,i love my autos and rarely use my o/u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Just got my 1st semi auto,Fabarm Lion.Light and fits me.Seem able to hit stuff too.Seems to be roughly 2 camps folk will fall into to advise you how to spend that kind of cash;2nd hand Beretta or new budget model like the Escort.I can see the pros and cons of both arguments but the experienced chaps will probably say to get what fits.Nice to have a warranty tho.Alot like Benelli,£400 would restrict you to 2nd hand.Theres also Franchi,which is produced by Beretta.....enjoy shopping around.

the pigman Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 well i have thought about an escort but i keep hearing mixed reviews so maybe a s/h berretta or somthing would be a safer option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 £400 is a difficult sum really, either spend £200 on a s/h escort or save another £100 and get a s/h Berrata AL391 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
