Guest Macnas Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 See if you can pick up a second hand Lanber if you want an over and under, or a second hand AYA if you prefer a side by side. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Touch, mount and try as many as you can before you buy...if you are new to this you will not know what fits and doesn't. After you have mounted a few you will hopefully pick one up and say..thats the one.. you will know! Don't rush this process whatever the temptation, and don't let the dealer push you into anything...they want to sell what they have on the shelf generally! Good luck! Quote Link to post

Geoff.C 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi redfrog, I don't travel much for clayshooting these days,so can't help you with a clay club near Solihull. If however,you don't have much luck locally,try coming down the A38 towards Derby,but come off at the Tamworth/Alrewas turn. Find Garlands shooting ground,at Edingale and you will have a large selection of guns. You will also be able to try out any likely ones and get good advice right there. Quote Link to post
