Glendalefarmer Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Simple question ! I have £200-250 to spend on a o/u 12bore, ejectors, single trigger and ideally 30" barrels not fussed whether it's multi choke ! What do I buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Lanber will see you ok. Lincoln too. Lots to choose from. Still have my lanber, totally abused and never serviced in 12 years. Going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Holt's Auctioneers. You will have a selection of over one hundred and forty at all prices. But my advice is try a few that friends and acquaintances have....if you can...then make a shortlist, then do a Google search with the addition of the word "review" and you'll likely see all the pros and cons of the guns on your shortlist. Finally unless you want a punt then wait until after 7 June and Holt's put up what they call their "Sale of Unsold Lots" as these will be at Buy It Now so you can be sure that if you make a bid you are buying it there and then. That's my advice. https://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/searchresults.asp?pg=1&ps=25&st=D&sale_no=S0320&subs_value=21&index=view But there's a whole lot that's best left unbid on and some ten or so that might be worth a punt....as long as you ask for an appraisal! https://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/fullCatalogue.asp?salelot=S0320+++5235+&refno=++148556&saletype= Edited May 2, 2020 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Quote Laurona are good for money too. Strongly built - made to last. Chrome inside barrels and black chrome outside. Very underrated guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to offload some guns for a member of our club who has lost his driving licence on medical grounds and his FAC is running out. No RFD locally will even take them off his hands to sell on commission. They all say the same thing, everybody and their cousin is wanting to sell their gear at the moment but the RFDs don't want to take in a load of stuff they are going to get stuck with.

Mr.C Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 You know I wouldn't go with the Russian Purdey. Mate has one that's rough as nuts and proves that you can wear them out. The ejectors are that loose that one will jump past the shell. And I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but pretty they ain't and I appreciate that they're a tool but there are nicer looking tools. I've an E Rizzini which are virtually being given away these days. They're 27" barrels, mine is fixed 1\4 and 1\2 I take it anywhere. Can't believe no one has recommended that you pm @wabbitbosher, he' ll sort you out if you have a rfd to collect if from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSpredder Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Northern Trader had a couple of Baikal O/U when I last called in a few months ago, still listed on their website, along with a Laurona (reputed to be very rust-resistant). For those driven days, you could buy a gentleman’s gun (S/S) for half the price of an O/U. Railton’s last sale had an Italian BLNE that appeared to be to be in very good order, sold for hammer price £60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I have recently purchased a Laurona. Havn't done a lot with it but pleased with the quality. It's the model that has double triggers but can be used as single trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
