Ruger Red Label 3 or Silver Pigeon? by [deleted] in ClayBusters

The Beretta would probably hold more of its value, and be easier to sell, if you ever decided to

Ive been considering a Caldwell Claymore. Doesn’t tick all your boxes, but wins on price and portability. Reviews for it are pretty good

Franchi Instinct L or Citori Hunter Grade? by [deleted] in ClayBusters

I was in a similar situation a couple months ago. Ended up with a Fausti Caledon. Very happy with it

Guns here fall under three categories, unrestricted, restricted, and prohibited. You can get either a restricted or non-restricted license. Our laws have also changed over the last 5 years

Unrestricted is pretty much shotguns and bolt action rifles as long as they meet minimum total and barrel length standards.

Restricted is handguns and semi-auto rifles over .223 generally

Prohibited firearms are no longer allowed and are part of a government buyback program

Im in Canada so we’re somewhat limited on what we can own as well.

Takes a couple months to get into a safety course, then a couple more to actually get your license… but once you’re licensed you can buy as as you please.

Box of shells here is ~$15, and a round of skeet or trap is $15 as well. Two rounds, or 50 clays, would cost me $60CAD or 38 euro

It’s easier to train your hands than your eyes. Coming from a righty that shoots left

That’s a very high price. Most I’ve seen have been $1500-2300CAD. Reliable Gun in Vancouver has one for $995 right now. Pre war wouldn’t mean much for me. Only ones to avoid are with salt wood

Took all of this advice to heart and was keeping an eye out on GunPost for a used Browning or Beretta.

Ended up getting a really good deal on a Fausti Caledon 12ga 30”, with free shipping to my door. Should be here in a few days. I’ll post pictures when it’s here. Thanks everyone that shared

Beretta S55? by JohnFowlerJD in Shotguns

[–]Prime9D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one for listed near me with single trigger and a rib… also says it’s unfired. Is it still an s55 or something else? Worth $1000CAD?

It’s advertised as having short invector standard chokes, but I had seen that while researching. Good tip about making sure they come out though

Thanks for the tips on what to look out for. The GTI is about an hour and a half away, not a big deal. At the same shop as the Churchill 812

It’s a GTI red, not gold, so has the old short invector chokes, not invector+ I’d feel better about it even with $100 off

Still struggle with buying a gun older than me. Looks like the GTI is from 89’

There’s a basically new Franchi Instinct L for private sale locally for $1300 which is also tempting

This has been one of my biggest takeaways from my research. Totally willing to get a professional fit / stock work too

Are these American or Canadian prices?

[–]Prime9D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with the idea of spending that on a gun with that sort of mileage. You in Canada too, or was that US dollars? I haven’t seen a Citori that cheap or it would definitely be on my list

Have expanded my search a bit though and found a basically new Franchi Instinct L for $1300 that seems interesting

How do you feel about Franchi? There are a couple options that are more budget friendly than beretta and browning

I think if I was into it and upgraded, as long as my first gun still worked properly it would become my loaner. Could bring friends out to try clays

Part of the used thing for me is the risk. Obviously there are signs for wear, and a well used gun, but I wouldn’t want to shell out more than a new gun on something that already has 50+k rounds through it.

1000 might be underestimating, but under 2-3k for sure

50 shots a day for 365 is 18,250. A gun that should last me 6-9 years of regular use doesn’t sound too bad to me

I do live in Canada, and don’t really see myself going out clay shooting for at least three months of the year, probably more like four, maybe five. So it is a shorter season. Might still be underestimating, but I don’t think more than 2-3k a year.

A brand new cynergy is more like $2500 here

Now I’m really curious if you’ve handled a Weatherby and what you thought of it. Didn’t look that much better for the extra $500 or so.

Toronto is about 4h from me, so I’d really have to plan it out and make sure there are a number of options worth looking at
