MrCetrizine Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Having looked at loads quite recently. I found them to be OK. Not quite the quality of Beretta, Browning, Benelli, Miroku but definitely above average for guns at a similar price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonhunter Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 My friend I am no expert but this is my experience A lanber is as good as anything in capable hands I would save the money and use it on getting a stock fitted by somebody who knows what they are talking about or converting it to an adjustable one This is probably the most useful investment anybody can do to a shotgun Anything else are cosmetic Forget chokes Forget engraving Forget nice stock finishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper811 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hunter. I bought a Lanber as my very first shotgun 6 years ago for £300. Over the years it has blown clays out of the sky when the expensive Beretta next to me has missed. A shotgun is only as good as the shooter. My Lanber has downed my very first game birds and given me life long memories. It is rock solid. For the odd game day or informal clays they are perfect. Unless you compete you don't need to get a stock fitted or spend a fortune. Quality wise you get what you pay for. They may not shine with engraved pack hounds but hey you don't need it to ! Trust me if it feels good, a good fit in the shoulder and not obviously long or short, in good nick with some history I would buy it. Talking to dealers half decent Lanbers do not last long on the shelf. Hope this helps. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offroad Gary Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I didn't like mine, sold it and got a nice browning which I shot better with. You can't just buy/recommend by make alone. It has to handle and fit, otherwise you'll be p!ssing in the wind with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hear this literally on a daily basis at our club Good point. Many shotguns are 'aimed' at the average ,and as we know ,there are many average shooters around,so it makes some commercial sense,from the sellers point of view. When there were rather more absolutely excellent shooters-ie Edwardian times-quite a bit of the considerable cost of best guns went on extensive gun fitting of the bespoke guns to their shooter. Such a gun,were it to come your way,would not shoot better than 'average' if it did not fit you.NIce,none the less. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
