    Does anyone have a long term (+3years) experience with Bettinsoli or Lanber? I'd love to hear from you!!!

    There are may short term reviews on them but I would love to know how they are in reality.

    I had a lanber semi -auto, which gave troube breaking parts, the modern over and unders are good enough guns but not on a par with the likes of beretta or browning for clay busting.:)

    I'd be happy if I got 5 years out of it. But then they give 5 year warranty (internal mechanism only) so probably they are OK. By that time hopefully I can retire it and get a replacement.

    I just paid a deposit on one. The short stock on the sporter model suits my small frame really well.

    I just have to get the paperwork sorted....

    I had a Lanber sporter for a few years and put many thousands of rounds from light target loads right up to 50gram magums loads with no problems, i only sold it cos i had a bee up my hole about getting a browning 525. i now regret not keeping it and i do miss the old work horse sometimes.
