20 bore

Post by Southpaw »

Hi all,

Is daar iemand wat weet van 'n 20 guage ou wat verkoop is? My SO has started to shoot with me and has been a joy to have on the range, it's time she got her own baby. Looking at mainly FAIR, fausti and beretta (she doesn't like the brownings).

TIA

A 12g semi-auto is a very good idea for a ladies gun. Check out recoil when using heavier loads in a 20 gauge. Google and see some meanings on that.

12g ammo is also cheaper and 21 and 24gr loads work well.

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it. Thing is, we do a lot of walk up shoots and I would rather she shoots with a break-action. Far safer and a lot easier to carry, especially when you're doing 100km over a 4 day period. Found a beretta and a fausti, but they're hella expensive. Looking into FAIR's now...
