If you're referring to the over and under, I had one then sold it. Not a bad gun by any means but there's little things about it that are niggling irritations; -Most manufacturers don't make chokes for the threading so you're limited with choke options. -Barrels aren't the most consistent; on mine the top bore was 18.4mm and the bottom was 18.5mm. -The alloy and/or heat treatment of the internals wasn't appropriate and one of the hammers was peening after less than a year of use. Likewise the firing pin also started pitting within the same timeframe. I think there's better options to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted December 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 For that kind of money what would you go for for?

Probably a second hand benelli or franchi automatic. You could even look for some of the older browning or benelli models that have been sitting on the shelf for years and are still unused. There's bargains to be had out there. Edited December 28, 2024 by Smudger687 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
