Recommendation of SBS

[Andy W]

I have been thinking of purchasing a side by side for a while now but it is a minefield out there, a mate has recommended taking a look at the new BSA shotguns and another mate says you are better off with a AYA model 3 from the 80's, someone else says a Beretta.

 

Are there sporter SBS available as there are OU guns, and what about stock styles and single or double trigger, any recommendations guys, oh and budget up to about £750.

A lot of the "main" manufacturers seem to concentrate on over and unders and semi autos nowadays.

 

The recommendation to look for a good secondhand AYA is a good one.

These are very well made guns and last a lifetime with care.

 

I would look for a No4 ejector, straight hand stock (which is usually the norm),single trigger and choked 1/4 and 3/8, have a look on Guntrader, you should be able to get one for under £500.

Second hand No 4 gets a good write up in gunmart this month, it was bought for 450 I think.
