I got a marocchi like that 2nd hand in 81 it was my first shottie called game king in some markets and sm 57 in others it has been a good gun and done a shit load of work i still have it but its getting tired now the odd dble firing and a sticky ejecter must get her out of the safe and fix her one day, it would do the job but i think you would be better off with a multi choke gun gives you more options ,just a note was in pnorth yesterday and h&f had a new fabarm h4 on sale at$999 not bad buying at all

By day with the dogs and claybirds it's the sxs, spotlighting the auto off the bike. ATA for the auto. Swear by them, wore one out so bought two more. A mate also uses one and these are our work guns. All 20 gauge.
You can spend a shitload on a shotgun but if it doesn't fit YOU then your pissing into the wind. So spend another $100 and get a smith to fit it to you.
Myself I shoot best with a shorter stocked gun.

Hi gmh72, my advice go along to a clay target club there you will able to find out what you need, ask some questions, they will help you with allsorts of information you never know you may get a good gun from one of the members

Thanks to everyone that took the time to comment. I did prefer the look of an over and under but in the end I went with a semi automatic. Hasn't turned up yet but looking forward to getting my hands on it. I bought a Fabarm H68. Little bit more than I wanted to spend but very happy with the price paid. :)

Well it turned up and very happy with it :thumbsup:
I cycled some dummy rounds through it to get the feel for how it works and pretty happy with it all.
I have a question about cleaning the barrel, is it similar to a rifle? Run brush through and patches with solvent, dry patches and then light oil? Or is it slightly different as there is no rifling?
Thanks

Good for you, ive got one of those great guns your cleaning ideas sound fine just remember to keep the gas area clean ,piston etc
-
Haha, yeah I heard some people did so thought I might see what the fuss was about.
Thanks MAJOR F :)

Internal barrel I never clean, but action and magazine YES keep them clean if you want reliable.

sit yourself down with the handbook or better still google some videos on how to strip and clean the beast-.OK its not neccesary to do a 100%strip every outing but if ,as will inevitably happen you drop it in the drink or it lands in a shitty pile of mud leaves animal shit bloody etc etc etc-or ya favourite dog pisses on it(dont laugh-I did when a mates $$$$$ big time italian12g semi got christened by his old half deaf lab)you want to meticulously clean crap out of every nook&cranny.
dog piss and hot guns are not a perfumers dream-nor should iimagine that good as a steel protectant!
from the photo id be fairly confident its a similar disassembly routine to my escort.best of luck anyhow and happy shooting
