Opinions sought on this Gun, Webley&Scott WS900

[MidnightMinstrel]

I have heard of Webley&Scott, I once had a cracking Air Rifle by them as a youth ( sold it to buy my first guitar) but what are their Shotguns like?, especially the new WS 900, it looks nice enough I agree, but if it shoots like any of the England squad I'd give it a miss, opinions please

I don't know this particular gun, but I do know that Webley & Scott are not the brand they once were.  I don't think I have heard much good about their current range.

OK dilemma time, out of those 3 it would be between the Silver Pigeon and The MK38.......but which one and why?

 

[Skeet UK]

Whichever and why not?

Point was to illustrate, that for the price of the Wibly 900 and "free gift", you could get a decent used gun from "The Big Three".

If you can't afford to buy a brand new Silver Pigeon 1 Sporter (about £1350) or similar priced Browning or Miroku..then buy a used one.

whichever fits best....but if I were you, I'd make sure the MK38 fits the best... ;-)

Well...I have to say...It was a very very good point!, I've just emailed about the MK38 :smile:

If I knew where you were I would have picked one in your area...you saw the full list I presume?  Links on left are full lists of each make, links on right are individual guns.

Or, as I have said before.  Bung down a real big deposit with Andy Whitmore at Avalon guns and have a new one over 12 months...£57 a month. That's nothing.  Trouble is, we all have an idea of what we can spend NOW...because we want a gun NOW.

I know someone else on here who done this on my suggestion, I think he bought a Silver Pigeon 1.

As an example.  A Brand new Miroku Grade 1 with Teagues.  http://www.avalon-guns.com/gunlist/guns/view/miroku-mk38-gd1-teague-special/

Personally, If I was starting out again I'd buy a better grade 2nd hand gun rather than a brand new one. For a start it has depreciated a fair bit, so if you wanted to change it, you wouldn't lose as much and secondly it's stops you looking at other people's better grade guns and wishing you had one......I'm sure they don't make you shoot any better (as a beginner) but they do look nicer...

Same as anything else in life you buy the best you can afford at the time.

I could afford Mrs ips at the time but she has become very expensive over the years. But not as expensive as getting rid of the 1st Mrs nutter
