Do you want a game gun or a clay gun or an all rounder?

What type of shooting do you intend to partake in? Clay, game ??? I had a baikal which I used for everything. Traded it against a Beretta tekyns semi-auto. Probably should have kept it as it was a great gun for everything. Abseloutely unbreakable although a bit heavy for a days rough shooting. I am thinking about getting a o/u again for clay-shooting this summer. Semi-autos are a bit un p.c. on clayshoots. I have been looking at Bettinsoli sporters as a clay gun. Seem to be good value. Try all the dealers for second-hand shotguns. If I could afford it I'd definitely get another Beretta. Love the Teknys semi although you will be lucky to get one in your price range.

+1 on the Lanber.
Have the Lanber sporter (fixed choke) for rough shooting. Affordable and does the job.
If your clay shooting you might want to upgrade to the multi choke model.

i think the 870 is a pump action

Try getting a second hand Beretta 682 Gold E. This is a sporting gun but it is light enough for when out on rough days. With the Beretta quality yo cant go wrong. They are about 2500 new, you might pick up a second hand one fo around th 1000. Well worth watching out for

ya i know the 870 is a pump action going to the gun shop at the weekend so ill see what he has
i like the look of the Lanber

For any form or hunting or competition, I would only go with an O/U, or a semi.

Quick follow up shot, with no need for the shooter to do anything except pull the trigger again.

When I started shooting I had a baikal o/u that was 1984 and its still in the cabinet.

Eventually I bought a Benelli semi for clays,
I know have the following and wont be changing for a while:

Betinsoli Supersport 3 yrs old now and its a perfect good value clay gun for trap and sporting (I shoot monthly I'm not into registered etc I do it for fun)

No problems with it has an adustable stock i only changed the green bead for a white one as it was catching my eye.

For the field I have a Beretta Urika I also use this for skeet
