njc110381 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 There's a S/S, and also a Investarm O/U for £175. Personally I really dislike the Investarm guns, they're cheap and fairly ugly and not that well made. These days everyone seems to want an O/U (don't know why) which means the S/S should get you a lot better gun for the money. If you go to £250 there's more choice, but you'll have to travel a bit I'm afraid. Not everyone advertises on guntrader. I suggest you ring all your local gunshops and ask if they have anything in stock that may be of use to you. That way you can hold the gun before you buy it, to see if it feels right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkBoy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Take a look on http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/ that's a pretty good site for finding a gun that will suit you. I can see where you're coming from wanting a 20 bore, but the trouble is they are unlikely to turn up for the money you have to spend. Maybe you should wait and save up a bit, or maybe ask for money at christmas? If you could find £250 that would give you more options. What makes you want an O/U gun so badly? The S/S guns can be found much more cheaply and would be fine for your needs (maybe even better). There are many good points to a S/S gun. The biggest is that you don't have to open it so far to load it. An O/U has to drop the barrels quite a long way before you can load the bottom chamber. In a hide when pigeon shooting that can be a real pain in the butt because sometimes they get tangled in the net! It's no harder to shoot accurately with a S/S than an O/U. I don't much like Investarm guns, for the same money you could get a really nice little S/S! can u gt any cheep 20 sbs on there.? Have a look - its only a mouse click away i just av ie been tld tht sbs are ard to soot with and arder to control,...?? Well thats a matter of opinion. Sorry to read about about your speech impediment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i just avie been tld tht sbs are ard to soot with and arder to control,...?? Maybe they are slightly harder to control. When the first barrel goes off they tend to raise the barrels a little more than an O/U which means you have to bring them back down for the second shot. All guns do that a bit, and once you're used to it you wont notice. The way I see it you're limited to what you can get by your budget, and you'll get a much better S/S for your money. A lot of people still shoot the S/S, and I'd put money on it that a lot of them can out shoot me with my O/U aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
