Nick some will knock the old technology and some will knock the trigger pulls. At the end of the day they have won a lot of comps over the years and even an Olympic medal in the hands of Ian Peel!

I started shooting clays around two years ago and started with a Lanber Sporting, upgraded recently to a Beretta. Yeah it looks and feels nicer but i still shoot the same scores!.
If I was recommending to a friend on a tight budget, I would go with the Lanber.

Lamber and barge pole go hand in hand IMO cheap and cheerful even new they were cheap
Cannot remember the last time I saw someone shooting one and would bet a pound to a penny your be selling
in a year. Now lets wait for a hat load of nostalgic anecdotes from all you people that used to own one but ironically no longer do!

My post, early on here, was clumsily trying to say that it is cheaper to buy a loved gun (that you either keep or sell for close to what you paid) than to lose money on an unloved one when you get rid.
Yes I know what you mean Will. In fact I could possibly get as much or a maybe even a little more for my old 3800 than I paid for it in 1991. Always better to stick with known quantities when it comes to guns!!!

Been doing this with most things all my life, which is probably why I'm so poor.
Got some good kit mind. :king:

You only live once blah blah.
Everything you buy as long as its sensible is an asset and with the interest rate so low money is doing nothing in the bank so may as well enjoy life. That's the way i see it anyway but i don't bother myself to much about it as i had nothing when i was young then made some then had the 1st Mrs nutter take it all then made some more so the point is, easy come easy go if you run out or lose it you just have to make some more. Aint life simple in my world

Life is as simple as you make it imo.
Have a good day, life is good.
Wake up in the morning life is good.
Don't like your life, change it.
Don't like the wife, change her.
Not got enough money, make some more.
I could go on but you get my general "life according to Ian theory"

In 45 years of being a clay pigeon shooter I have seen lots of guys come into the sport and quite a few of then dissapear in a year or two spent out never to be seen again!
In an ideal world we would all shoot perazzi's, krieghoff's, berettas etc., but I would rather shoot a lanber than not shoot at all!
When I had a gun shop I was a Beretta main dealer and I sold lanbers as part of the beretta frachise, I cannot ever remember ribs comming off or stocks cracking or
bad blacking of the barrels! in fact I cannot remember ever returning one to Gunmark under complaint! for £500-£600 you ain't going to find any mirokus or berettas
thats sound and not screwed around with? There are just too many experts on here with no practical experience of the gun trade? :fie:
