UPDATE: FWIW I've ended up buying totally local so my thanks to all the forum members who made me question my options !!! Central Otago Sports in Alexandra (I assume naming a company is OK ? if not moderators here should feel free to edit) have done a great deal for me I think as well as allowing me to "trial" the gun over the weekend. So what's the deal ?:
20 gauge ATA semi-auto in Walnut with a slab of #5 (Gamebore, Signature, Pure Gold 20, 70mm, 30GMS) and a gun bag for $850 ($300 cheaper than Gun City even with their free freight !!!) plus I'm getting a 5 gun safe from them for $180 (nothing flash but it will certainly do the job bolted to the garage wall).
So, thanks again to all for their help, job done. Now to find out about earmuffs !! I'll start a separate thread on that.
Cheers
