Although up north I have started shooting clays, over the last year, I shoot with a Beretta, which is nice, just starting to get on track for this year. I have a cheap Castellani side by side (10% cost of the Beretta) which also shoots as well, finding a gun that fits and it comfortable is important. Don''t be frightened to try before you buy, ask questions!

OK - so put disposable income to one side and forget about what one "could" afford to spend...

If they won't let you try a new gun then personally I'd walk away from the shop. That's a pretty poor excuse for not letting you at least try it if you are serious about buying one.

My first and still my favourite gun was/is a £1000 Beretta 686 straight cast and I shoot left shoulder. All advice given so far is spot on - find a good gun shop and club and try many before you find the one that feels right (and shoots well) then look at the price. "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."

Maybe once he sees the cash in hand things will change. Basically I'd never buy one I hadn't shot a few rounds with.

Just re-read that. 4500ft/s! That is going some, the barrel will not like that. Got enemies? Good, you have stood up for something in your life. Never regret growing old, it is a privilege denied to many. |
