Buying a shotgun and what you need to know by Eastfield Gunroom 

Never bought a new shotgun in my life , could never afford a new one . Started with cheap Italian and Spanish guns and worked my way up over the years as I earned more money. Luckily I'm Mr average when it comes to gunfit so most I've ever needed is a recoil pad change.

Sound advice encapsulated in a 20-minute presentation. Well done! It is amazing to me how many people will spend such an exorbitant amount of time investigating cars or other products but believe that a 'gun is just a gun' and buy the first thing that they see on the market. Most first-time shotgun owners seem to follow the same path. Buying a gun only to realize their mistake to late. I was once asked to tutor a person who had an interest in skeet shooting. He said he had a shotgun so we set up an appointment for the range. He showed up with a pump action shotgun with an extended magazine tube and a Pachmayr pistol grip. Quite Robo Cop indeed! Long story short, he shot his first targets that day with my gun and did surprisingly well. He still shoots today but now wields a Blaser F3.

That sir is simply brilliant. Thank you.

I think it’s worth saying that you might not get the perfect gun for you the first time out. You may think you know what you need, but only by shooting a lot do you work out what you really need and like. That can feed into your next gun.

Excellent video and info Matt. Thank you

Really good video, thanks

Another quality video Matt, very informative keep em coming.. 👍🏻

Nice one, Matt. Your smashing it, very informative. Enjoying all your reviews, keep it up.

An uncannily accurate description of "social shooting" there Matt!!! 😂

Good advise, as a recent new shooter I have asked myself all the same questions. Well informed you are more likely to make good decisions. One final think I as told the first gun you chose will not be your last 😀

Fantastic video thanks from Ireland

Excellent video , very useful advice.👍

Great video, I have learnt something new about my gun! I have this model but not limited edition.

what a brilliant video, made me laugh with the short stock 🤣🤣, but I have to say how lucky my wife and I were finding our first guns but then we did have some first class expert advice.

Good sound advice for a new shooter , especially regarding buying a second hand gun at an attractive price , then having to spend a pocket full of money to get it to fit you , when a new gun would have been perfect for a bit more money. Kind Regards Matt.

Hi Mat good video it was very informative in the couple of years I’ve been shooting trap I’ve gotten to try some different guns and I tend to find Beretta fits me better than browning does and I happen to prefer certain things on the browning over the beretta.

Great info, I think the best thing ever has been adjustable combs, some say they spoil the looks but can make the gun fit perfect. You don't really need a set of 7 chokes, I never use 3/4 or F, really skeet. Gun weight should match the shooter strength to make a smooth swing.

Another great video Matt.wish all this had been said to me 35years ago😅

Fantastic video can you do a review of berettas 687 silver pigeon 3 sporting?

Fantastic video Matt with some great tips and advice. Would you go Kofs or Yldiz 28bore ?

hello, thank you for your videos. Can you make a video about the diference on the barrels convergence between a field/sporting vs a trap gun. most of the diferences that are refer to are all about stock and dimensions, but there is a big diference on the barrels or not? thank you for your work.

A brilliant and very helpful review! Just one question, if I want to use the gun just for clays, is a 30" barrel the best mid point or should I look to go for a 32"? I'm looking at getting a new MK38.

Mat you keep going on about a lead ban , and you need 3”chambers . What happens to my 682 silvers (32”) from 1988/90 /91 are they going to be u/s . What will happens to all the old guns as not everyone can afford new guns .

What do you know about Friedrich Gehri shotguns? Specifically, his sideplated over and under shotguns? I can't find much information on this maker.

Where is eastfield gun room?

Far too much waffle and no meat and veg. After a few minutes you just became boring. Try watching it back.
