adickinson97 1 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi guys, just joined this forum and this is my second post I am looking at getting a shotgun as I am getting more and more into shooting. Any suggestions for a first time shotgun? I don't really want to spend a fortune as I am only 17 and will have to save up till I have enough money, any suggestions would be much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yellowdog 12 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi guys, just joined this forum and this is my second post I am looking at getting a shotgun as I am getting more and more into shooting. Any suggestions for a first time shotgun? I don't really want to spend a fortune as I am only 17 and will have to save up till I have enough money, any suggestions would be much appreciated Side by side box lock non eject, make sure its tight on the face when the forend is removed and you waggle it grasping both the wrist of the stock and the barrels (no movement is what your feeling for), then look so see if it has been shimmed to just look tight. barrel with good clean bores lacking pits, no cracks or splits in the stock, both pins in good order and round (fire them onto a coin and check the dents) be very choosy choosy £150 tops should find you a nice one. Spanish made AYA yoman, Zabala etc. baikels are ok but lack some of the quality of the little shot Spanish guns of the 70's and 80's. Then how does it feel and fit, take a friend who knows if you can 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adickinson97 1 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I was just advised last week that a browning gold was a good choice. Said person is obsessed with browning though, are they just bias or is it a good choice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
