Budice Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Evening Pigeonwatch massive. I'm looking for a 28G youths size gun for my Mrs. She's 5ft and weighs about 52Kg, hence the youths size, anything in the up to £500 top end price please? Can travel within 60 mles of Bath, Somerset.

sabel25 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Kofs may be worth a look from £499 new Or Yildiz at £400 new Edited January 22, 2019 by sabel25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Having had 2 Yildiz in 20 and 28 gauge and NEVER had any trouble with either (neither have their current owners), I know which I would go for. Get the non-ejector model, unless you are shooting driven game. The 'Junior' has a 13 1/2" stock LoP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toads Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I bought a Kofs 28 bore the day before my shoots keepers day last season. I was back gun most of the day mopping up pricked birds, and some missed ones.Didnt hit everything but was very pleased with how it performed.It feels like a "proper" gun. As has been mentioned £500 happy customer. atb toads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a 20bore? hello, an average £50 a 1000 cheaper than 28g, a lighter cartridge still has a good range and very suitable for a lady, there were a few ladies on a recent shoot and they were using 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would look at the Armsan semi (1 currently on here). My 32 years old Grandaughter shoots my 12 bore Beretta 303 which weighs in at 7 1/4 lbs. Using 24 gram cartridges she is able to shoot a couple or rounds of skeet or a 50 bird sporting shoot, without difficulty. She is 5' 3" and is ultra slim (bloody THIN !). The Armsan auto is lighter than my Beretta ! The gas auto will also be softer on her shoulder. I have a 20 bore, but being a touch too long for my Grandaughter, she feels the recoil on the top of her arm more, and that is with 21 gram cartridge. I used a 391 for a lot of Instruction and 'Have a go' days, which included a LOT of ladies and youngsters. ALL of these people had never shot before and I can not recall any of them who wanted to give up after their first shot. If it was hot or summertime and they were wearing a thin T shirt, a folded hand towel between gun and shoulder was usually enough to lessen recoil. If she is going to shoot the gun a lot, then a shoulder pad such as the 'Pact' would be suitable. The gun has the added bonus of you being able to use it too, fitted with a suitable stock extension. What is not to like ? Spend £200 on the gun and the rest on some proper lessons to start her off correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
