joeshaw08 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hi gents, currently applying for my shotgun licence and looking for my first 12G. Just wondering if anyone was willing to flog an old one, my price range is a max of about £250, not looking for anything fancy but has to be in good nick. O/U would be preferred, but S/S will not go a miss! Try and send us a pic too, if possible. Cheers, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi charlie thanks for the offer, sorry for taking so long to reply. However i've had a think and for my budget, a may be able to buy a new Baikal or Escort. Cheers anyway, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 May be worth a search on here for previous articles. Then dedide if you still want to buy an escort. webber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 A secondhand £250 O/U will pretty much always be worth £250 (so long as you don't significantly damage it any further than what it was when you bought it!). Whereas a new Escort or Baikal (both good value guns) will depreciate significantly as soon as you walk out of the shop with it. Which is a waste of money when you consider that no matter what first gun you buy the vast majority of folk upgrade it within 6-12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
