Very nice gun but Winchester SX3 IMO cannot be beaten.

what about the new a400 , fastest semi in the world now and only £1700

i have a browning gold fusion S/a and it has performed faultlessly since i bought it,

 

So i'd say if you like it go for it.

 

Snap.

I dont think I would dare take a gun out if it cost me that much, I would wrap it in cotton wool.

yeah i dont think it would be worth much after 6 months with me , my army pal was using mine to straddle barbed wire fences

If I was looking for a semi auto, 26inch chrome lined barrels with cammo type "print" what sort would you recommend and NOT in the £1700 bracket.

 

Thanks

Totally agree. Stay away from the Escort. I had a 9 shot on FAC and it was forever jamming and it had two new firing pins before I said enoughs enough and got my money back.

Thanks for your replies, where are these escorts made because they seem to get a poor write up from some folk and they cant all be wrong.

 

Yet I have had a Baikal for nearly 30 years fits like a glove and its never missed a beat and I cant imagine how many cartridges its had through it and some folk slag them off. I do clean it though every boxing day whether it needs it or not.

I believe Hatsan Esorts are made in Turkey.

 

Nowt wrong with Baikals I spent many years with my old faithfull SBS before I moved to FAC semi's.

Mmmmmmmmm just looked up "Baikal semi auto camo" and it came up with a gun with a good report http://gunmart.net/gun_review/baikal_mp153_semi-auto/ and I think about £500 brand new.

Could do with getting hold of a second hand one.

I've shot a lot of guns and IMO the SX3 is the best by far. (In my price range) 2nd hand SX3 are available and worth the wait.

If this is the one I think it would be too fast for me

12 shots in 1.44 seconds
