sorry if this has been asked before, but, I wont lie.. i cant be |
|
bothered searching through all the old posts. |
|
I have a CZ452 rifle but I'm looking for a shotgun in the near |
|
future to give me more options in my shooting. Clay pigeons, |
|
crows etc etc. can anyone recommend a good starter gun and if i |
|
should look for a semi auto or an over and under? |

any will do but if you are shooting from a hide I would go for a |
|
semi just for loading |

Id would recommend you visit a clay shooting ground or a gun |
|
dealer with a shooting ground and try a shot or two with both |
|
and see which you preferr. There is not much difference in them |
|
really. The 3rd shot is handy with the semi auto and as said if |
|
shooting from a hide its easier to reload as you dont have to |
|
point the gun down. It really comes down to personal preference. |

As woodcock said try them out then you'll know; personally I'm |
|
not a fan of o/u's, only ever fired one I liked lol there's plus |
|
points and minus points, semi autos have 1 extra shot and kick |
|
less than a o/u, and as mentioned a semi is easier to load in |
|
hides, etc. having said that o/u's are usually more reliable, no |
|
semi auto I've ever owned (4 so far) has run flawlessly, tho its |
|
usually down to either needing broken in or crap ammo :-\ |
|
Ps most reliable semi ive found so far is the hatsan escort, |
|
they're cheap too, brand new around �400, so would recommend one |
|
of those if you want a semi |
