Recommend me a multi choke sporter

I was recommending to a friend that they have a look at a second hand Lanber multi choke sporter as a first gun and spend on the rest of the budget on good fitting and recoil pads. They were amazed at the prices of the Lanber. What other comparable sporters should we be looking out for? I would appreciate your recommendations.

It's all very well saying "One that fits" but as a left shoulder shooting lady there will be almost nothing out there that fits off the shelf. So take a good chunk of budget out for that and we are looking around the £500-£600 mark plus alterations.

Laurona make better guns than Lanber. Longer lasting, rust free and more gun for your money.

SKB - underrated, but excellent

Thank you.

hello,  if you go on gun trader put in 12 and 20 guage left hand stock  O/U shotguns there are quite a few to look at, around that price are KOFs with left hand stock. i presume you mean an O/U ?

Secondhand older Beretta's are the way forward, great design. great handling and very reliable!

Try as many as possible at a dealer who has a few traps, and choose the one you shoot best with. 
Personally like the Lanber Sporting DeLuxe as they come up to the shoulder very much like a Winchester 101, of which I’m very fond, but there are many more out there with indisputable reputations which have stood the test of time, such as Miroku, Browning, Winchester and Beretta.

Yes, O/U.

Kofs have been discussed but the thing that people keep saying is that they do the job but they aren't nice to use. They certainly seem to hit the second hand market quite fast. Under consideration though.

They hit the secondhand market rapidly because they have done what people expect of them and move on to a nice gun.:yes:

My brother shoots an ATA sp sporter - £600 new or push the budget to £700 buys the adjustable version also available in left handed stock ( I believe ) Also comes with (if I remember correctly)  a set of five chokes plus tools and a 5 year warranty.

Multi choke and sporting plus no requirement for a recoil pad. Yilditz 410 with 30 inch barrels.  Man up.

Why would anyone want to do that?
