Triple barrel shotguns
Hi all,
Looking at upgrading my shotty soon.
I was checking out my mates new triple barrel shotty the other night and it looks pretty good but he hasn't had a chance to use it yet. They are about $1800 locally so the same as a decent shotty.
Anyone heard much about them or would it be worth waiting til they've been around a bit longer first?
What's your thoughts

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
Na it's only like 3.8kg. Felt lighter than my double.
Yeah doubles are good enough but just the thought of having that third incase sounds appealing

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
My mate has shot one of those akkar 3 triple barrel 12g he prefers using double barrel and besides when was two shots ever not enough :p I reckon just find a well balanced double barrel that fits you, won't shoot well if gun doesn't fit properly just my opinion

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
Never shot one but seen one in action, fires three shots really quickly but didn't see the point really, maybe it's for when your in a hurry hunting geese as it would drop a few fair birds from a flock I reckon accuracy might be the thing to get used too though. I'll stick to a under and over

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
Who ever said "when do you need more than 2 shot" obviously doesn't Remember the good old days of 5 shot pump actions and semi autos.
I have often shot 2 from a flock and thought I could have droped 2 more

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
I have only use a under over half dozen times since the gun amnesty. If you can got a triple barrel for that kinda weight I go the triple. The more shots the better I reckon. I handed back 2 semi and 2 pump action shotgun and own one since.
I'm going to get gun license back this year I think. I didn't renewal it 8-9 year ago .
It doesn't look easy anymore so I been putting it off .

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
I really don't like the look of them, from a purely aesthetic point of view. But the extra shot is alluring. (Never shot one, or seen one fired)
I wouldn't mind the idea of one with 20in barrels!
Having said that, I really should not read blogs that just make me want to buy another gun. Woes of being a student with no spare cash...

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
Fit is the main thing with accuracy of a new shotgun
That's why I bought an Escort ,cheap but fully adjustable stock that I could sought out myself without a gunsmith
If you buy a new shotty make sure you have it fitted to you by the shop selling it

Re: Triple barrel shotguns
agree shaggs. i tried a few of the expensive guns and they didnt feel right for me but the escort felt perfect. only prob with it ive had a few issues with it falling apart. they need to put loctite on the screws inside them or something.
