Used it once .Fired 4 cartridges( astram). heavy and kicks like a mule .
The guy is asking way above the price it is available in Delhi or Punjab .
26-27 K is max you should pay for it . For 40K , you can pick up a second hand imported sXs ( Astra / Raick ferres etc).
Just my 2 cents .

Recoil of any gun does not have anything to do with "quality" of any gun. It is just law of physics: Force(Recoil)= Mass * Acceleration. Heavier the gun lesser will be the recoil or lighter the gun higher will be the recoil for the cartridge of same charge and bullet mass. It is another matter some guns employ various recoil dampening mechanisms like recoil pads etc. which make the "felt" recoil a little less.

I have uploaded pics in the pic section.James, check it out.

The only 12 Ga loads that I have shot that come close to the mule category are the 76mm Slugs.

[james02]

yeah you are right MoA....but will the modern O/U take a slug ?

[goodboy_mentor]

As per http://www.chuckhawks.com/shotgun_slugs.htm

Cylinder bore guns are usually recommended for shooting slugs, but in some cases a full or modified choke barrel will give better accuracy with the undersize slugs.

Perceived recoil would also depend upon

1.Stock profile &
2.Stock fit

For some a shorter barrel with a greater muzzle blast also seem to accentuate perceived recoil

Vineet from where did you buy it.
arms dealers in mumbai are selling this one for not less than 40k.
