andy_s Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 hi all, i'm new to this forumn and new to the world of shotguns. i know this has been asked countless other times but i'm after some help finding a good gun to get started with. i'm looking for a right handed 12b o/u and have tried a few guns for size, one being a silma and the other a franchi but don't know which models which were both ok but i found i needed quite a lot of cast (cast off i think for right handers but tell me if i'm wrong), i think i must have a fat head. could anyone give me some advice on other guns to look out for at a reasonable price. sorry for such a long thread.............................andy_s.

Greenhunter Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 If it is as you say you need a bit of cast it may be quite difficult to find a gun that fits well. It is very important that you do get one that fits or you will never reach your full potential or level of enjoyment. My best advice would be to find a gunsmith who has a 'try gun' and hopefully he will be able to give a more accurate measure of what you need. Until then try as many guns as you can as its not what make it is but how it fits you. GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorpeet Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 What I'd suggest is to go out and buy the cheapest o/u you can find in reasonable nick. Use it as much as you can to get used to the feel. Then, in a few months when you will have a much better idea of what you what suits you and what feels best for you, you can then go out armed with this knowlege and look for a 'keeper'.
