    If its in good condition I would have thought $150.00 is a good buy for a knock around gun . For that price you haven't got much to lose and you could probably sell it for a profit if you ever wanted to .

    Have you done any clay target shooting before ?

    Then go for it, it will do your shooting a world of good and the pumps are a great safe fun gun it you don't want to buy it I will if your mate is selling it.

    If shooting for fun and to get your eye in for bird season go for it. My daughter uses an escort pump with imp cyl and smokes the clays much closer in than I can do these days and is the equal to my self on the ducks with her cheap pump. If it fits, you will shoot ok and soon get used to pumping the action.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
