waidmann 105 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 if it fits/you can hit clays with it then its ok.looks are secondary. £ 4oo will get a good shotgun i would think,shop around and get whichever suits. good luck. Quote Link to post
quicksilver 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 if you have up to £400 to spend i would consider some of the mulit choke sporters, they are more flexible than a fixed side by side, this is just my opinion i never really got on with side by sides and always preferred o/u. For £400 you should find a good number of 2nd hand guns. keith Quote Link to post

ellir0305 9 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 the problem with getting the gun that fits you best is you sometimes end up spending more lol. i got my first shotty the other day same budget as you but i ended up spending £500 (it was meant to be £600 but i was stubborn) on a perfectly fitting, professionaly reconditioned, fixed choke, over under berretta. its so gorgeous, i feel guilty using it. not that it stopped me being out all day today trying desperately to find some woodies. atb rob Quote Link to post
