I am currently looking to change from my o/u 12g to a semi auto, as I`m getting two days sufferance for 1 days pigeon shooting. Ammongst the guns i`ve looked at are the hatsan escort webly and scott both inertia types and the marocchi A12. Does anyone out there have any experience with any of these guns ,eg: quality of build ease of use and reliability, your feed back would be most appreciated. thanks ,Ian. r

hi ian i us a hatsan semi in 12 gauge five shot had a problem with the early one shot around 1500-2000 shots and it jamed up big style would not *replaced* or load they have a warrantry for three year so i took it back and it was changed for the new model the hatsan trio it is great no probs shoots any shells 2" too 3" from 24grm too 50grm multi choke and you can get them in all black they come with three spaces "hence the trio" so you can change the length off the stock when you look at other makes make me wonder if they are the same guns ie webly - midland?????????? you can also get them in 3-1/2" chamber but i would stick too the 3" one. hope this helps you

My wife suffers from arthritis too. She tried a Remington 20 bore semi-auto and thought is was great. Looking to buy one now John Brown

Just an update . I`ve bought a marocchi 12g semi, multi choke 26 or 28 inch barrels chambered for three inc cases. i`ve used it twice and honestly don`t know why I didn`t do it years ago, thanks for all responses.Ian.
