Downforce Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I also like the Beretta 301 mine will happily cycle anything 21 and up without missing a beat The Benelli M2 has the benefit of no gas path to clean and everyone I know that has had one swears by it You can get them for £3-400 but they hold their money so you might struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 I’ve got an 11/87 Premier with 3” chamber; multi chokes with 4 chokes. £300 if you want it 👍🏻🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Another vote for Remington. I’ve had many over the years (still have one) and as long as you clean it scrupulously after each shoot a Remmy is unlikely to let you down. Upgrading the gas sealing ring to 2.35 mm cross section give’s reliability ( O rings are pennies on the ‘bay) down to 24g’s, my 1187 cycles 21’s. Available at auctions for around £80-£120 there are many bargains out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat777 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 HI all Many apologies for the delay in replying! Had a very busy Christmas and then forgot my credentials for here and got locked out of my account! I had a pootle round a couple of local gun shops and tried a few of the suggested makes and models. Unfortunately, being a left handed shot, I just couldn't get on with RH eject of all the guns on offer, I found it very distracting. I was about to give up on the concept at all and stick with "traditional" guns. I hate to be "that guy" that asks for advice and then ignores it all, but after some nagging from a friend to just try the LH eject Fabarm I did go to view it. I liked the "wood" finish and it felt a nice wieldy gun - in the end I did a deal for it and have shot with it a few times, I must say I quite like it so far! Your advice was not wasted however, as someone in my club who is a normal RH shooter is also looking at S/As, I've passed all your advice onto him and he is very keen Thanks again, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
