    Am looking to get my first shotgun and have a budget of €600.... Have seen lanber shotguns in fairly good nick in this price range.But are lanbers reliable as i really cant afford to be getting things fixed on it the whole time.....Also ill be shooting mostly Vermin and rough shooting pheasant with the odd day at the clays......do you think a lanber would be a good gun for this and a good first gun? Thanks in advance:)

    A Lanber O/U was my firstb gun - couldn't fault it and it gave years of great service.

    Lanber are a very good mid-range priced gun.

    You will also pick up a Bettinsoli O/U for about the same price.........another good, reliable gun which will do the job perfectly.

    Do chokes come with the gun or do you buy them seperate.....Also do you think lanbers are heavy as ill be doing a fair bit of rough pheasant

    I had a Lanber 28"Game Gun with fixed choked barrels of 3/4 and 1/2 for the last few years I just have traded up there recently for a Sporter for myself. I have had it for rough shooting mostly the odd day at clays and I can't fault them and never gave a days trouble.Here is the thread on it for sale if ur interested.

    Lovely reliable gun, cant go wrong with a Lanber. Had a 28" game one for years. Was lovely and light with 1/2 and full choke, sorry I got rid of it :( I used it for clays too and it smoked everything. I only got rid of it so I could get the newer Sporter model. It too is a fantastic gun.

    Depends on the model.

    The GAME gun can have fixed chokes or interchangeable chokes and will not be too heavy...........can be carried all day after pheasants and the odd day for clays.

    The SPORTER gun usually has interchangeable chokes. It is for the hunter who also spends a lot of time clay shooting............will be heavier to carry and usually more expensive.

    5 chokes are usually supplied.....2 in the gun and three additional chokes.

    These 5 are

    FULL,
    IMPROVED MODIFIED (3/4),
    MODIFIED (1/2),
    IMPROVED CYLINDER (1/4) ,
    CYLINDER (open or skeet)
