Fisherman Mike Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I am in the process of accumulating the funds to buy a new Gold Pigeon but a friend who is emigrating to Portugal has offered me his Lowlander Sporter which is in mint condition and about 6 months old for £500.00 obviously a lot less Than I would have to pay for the pigeon. The Gun is a 12 g multi choke. Does any one have an opinion of this gun which would be used for Pigeon Shooting and occasional clays. I thought if I bought this gun I could get my young son a Bettinsoli .410 with the money I saved and consider taking the wife out for a meal ( Perhaps!) Thanks FM.

webber Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 FM Sounds like a decent deal to me. Why not borrow the gun and have a shoot, see how you get on. Take it to your gun shop, and see what part ex you can get on the Beretta. You then know if you are getting a decent deal on the highlander, and if it suits you, fine. If the lad gets a .410, fine. As for the wife, meals are her department so she'd be paying! webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_stag88 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I've used one FM, and to be honest I thought it was ****. So did all the others who used it. It handled poorly, the stock was uncomfertable and just felt weird to use. You may find different and you may like it, but I did not. Give it a whirl at some clays. I would keep saving and get the Gold Pigeon. If you can afford one porsh or two rovers what would you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave15 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well I had a look at one when I went to buy a new gun with dad on my birthday, Id seen the lowlander in a shooting mag and it looked very nice but when I got there and held it it wasnt as nice as I first thought it would be, I found the forend to be very wide and chunky I didnt like it, But on the other hand dad liked it I suppose its what yoiu used to In the end I went for A lincolin Premier and I prefer it but apart from that I looked ok, dad wants one but Ill stick with mine.
