Thread: Low cost semis

Any one using a low cost semi? Say sub $800
Worth it or stick with pump?

Was checking out h&f ashburton and they had a few akkar branded ones that looked ok
Any one have hands on experience?

I am using a khan arms semi and seems to shoot as well as my mates beretta, just need to clean slightly more often.i was told Most of the turkish guns sold at h&f are virtually the same just re labeled eg stoger khan akkar. See how they shoulder and give it a go im happy with mine. Cheers

assmiths city had an escort semi on special $599-not a bad wee machine either .

I have a New Toz 87 at $799. Nice wooden stock, and probably a bit better than most of the Turkish stuff, but it is chambered in 2 3/4 and not choked for steel. Hence we still have these in stock. I realise you probably want to use it for wild fowl so if thats the case, then probably not what you want.

Reloaders Supplies have the Baikal 155 semi autos in stock at $750 and these would be well better than the Turkish offerings. The 155 is the updated 153 which we used to sell. (Sold out and have not yet imported more.) And they do them in left hand too.....

Iv got a voucher for h&f so would normaly not be looking at shotguns
But sort of don't need anything from there

My old semi was an EGE Shilah with a rusted in full choke and no bead, used it on rabbits for a 3 years (in central otago), never skipped a beat.

An $800 gift voucher??? Man, Somebody thought you must have been a good boy this year.......See if they can get you a Baikal in....Otherwise, look for a decent 2nd hand one from them rather than a turkey . (oops, Perhaps I mean a Turkish one....)

Has H&F changed their conditions with vouchers? The ones I have here say that they are not redeemable on ammo, firearms and licenses...

Fuck just looked, there goes that idea

Talk to the shop owner. They have been breaking that rule up here for me for years.

I just got some and they have no mention of that. The one I have a few years ago did though.

thats fn rediculous i bet they asked who ever bought them for you what you were into.??
and never mentioned you couldnt spend them on guns or ammo??
whats the name of the bloody store HUNTING and fishing or hiking and fornication.
a cheap semis like a cheap date rarely successful and rarely do anything good or long term come out of it.
if your good with a pump it,l do you till you get to old or arthritic to crank it
specialy if its a remy 870 express/wingmaster

I would look around for a 2nd hand Benelli M1 Super 90, I have seen them here and TM for around $850 at times. That would be a waaaay better option than a cheaper, shitty piece of Turkish shit which will make you want to use it on yourself...
