second hand shotgun?

rosiec

Looking a second hand double barrel, nothing fancy, just something for the odd rabbit/pigeon etc. My local gun shop owner has quoted me a price of €630 for a second hand baikal, which seems a little pricey to me for a very simple gun (non ejector etc). Is is possible to pick up a decent dbarrel below €500?

I would think you would get a grand second game one for 500. Just make sure the barrels arnt scored.

cheers guys. Yeah i was a bit shocked by the €630 quote myself! Although maybe i shouldnt be too suprised as the gun shop has recently been taken over and seems to be specialising in top of the range stuff gone are the days when you could pick up a box of cartriges for €5!

Pricey? It's cuckoo land. With that budget you should be able to pick up a decent second hand O/U or a Semi Auto. Take your time, shop around and above all, try make sure the gun fits properly. Don't be rushed into a quick purchase by any dealer. On the basis that you've been at least 16 years without a gun, another few weeks won't make any difference.

Cheers Jim, I'll do that. I'm in no hurry anyway, the old single barrel is fine for what i want to do for the time being!

Glad to hear that you can still get cartridges for €5 in some places, my local guy stocks nothing but high velocity anymore
