Markio Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Did it even jam with heaver loads like 32g plus? Or do you mean jammed with all sorts of 28g carts? EDIT: I ask because lots complain of lighter loads jamming but wondering what the reliability is on wildfowling loads like 32g and up.

masterblaster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 the 1st time it went back it was jamming with 32g gamebore clear pigeon 65mm they sent it me back saying ive got to use no less than 70mm carts so went out and bought some supreme game 36g 70mm carts put 15 through it of which 9 jammed so it went straight back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 You wont go wrong with the browning gold s/a, i have 2 of their predecessors...the browning silver which became the gold, never jammed regardless of what carts ive used, even with 24g they breezed it, and Ive fired 1000's of carts with them!!!! Superb guns!!...Show us a piccy when you get it. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Comparing a Browning Gold to an Escort is like comparing a Rolls to a Rover! I bought a used Beretta Xtrema as my auto, and after using an Escort myself I've come to realise that most of the more expensive makes will make it look a bit sh*te! You've made a good choice getting your money back I think. Escorts are ok as a cheap gun if you don't mind using that kind of thing, but you do get what you pay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_colt Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I think on the budget range the Webley's are a better bet. Far more reliable and better looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 So far in two years and about 1500 shells, I have only had one jam on my escort and that was a bulged cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
