hollombj1 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I've seen comments on these guns here before so I thought I would ask.Will the 12ga.Legacy Escort or Remington SPR453 semi autos reliably cycle light loads such as Rem. game loads and Wallyworld Federal or Win. I know the SPR453 has an adjustable gas system but I question how well it works.I need to go to a less recoiling gun for doves and targets.I have already gone the recoil reducer route on my pumps and don't like the extra weight. I use limbsaver pads but with age my shoulder/neck seems to be able to take less recoil each season.I am hoping to find a used beretta, Browning Gold,etc. but the "economy guns" interest me.

splashtx556ftw Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 try a Charles Daly field hunter auto. they are fairly light, and almost no recoil with light loads. the best thing is you can get one at wally world for $279.00:D no adjustment needed unless you go to magnum ammo.

spraynbuckshot Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If this helps at all- I bought a brand new SPR453 a year or so ago. I ran countless shells though it. I messed with the gas system. It wouldn't cycle 7/8 or 1 oz loads. Save your money and buy quality the first time, it'll be cheaper in the long run. I now have a pump SuperNova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashtx556ftw Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 there not a damn thing wrong with a charles daly. ill put it up against anything you can name.and have . a lot of browning, benelli, remington toting friends bought one after they went up against mine in the 5 stand range, and they love em. the only problem ive had is i accidently stuck a 3.5 mag in it once, andit broke the ejector. they sent me a shipping label and fixed it at no charge. lifetime warrenty, 279 bucks.

kingarmory Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 We have a Legacy semi-auto that we use as a demo gun for our KA-1212. Eats up 7/8oz loads without a hiccup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
