Hi ! Everyone, I need a advise from the exprienced members of the forum, I have 12 bore I Hollis but not in very great condition but still in very good firing condition, So i want to upgrade my short gun and looking to buy a foreign made short gun in mint condition. My budget is Rs 60000/-, i hope i can sell my I Hollis @ Rs 30 to 35 K and can put Rs 30 K more from my end to upgrade my weapon. Need help to
1. Sell my I Hollis
2. Please sugest some good short gun in a price range of Rs 60000/-, and from where can i get it ?
3. Is my budget suffient to buy a mint condition foreign made short gun with two piece ejector and if possible single selective trigger ?
My licence is from U.P and is valid for U.P only.
I have posted to sell my I Hollis on this forum as well but could not find any serious buyers.

This is going to be tough I can be wrong best bet in that range is IOF DBBL ( they are not made any more). Try calling Calcutta dealers while back had read that one could find good deals there. Another option will be a good english hammer gun. Good luck and do check the guns thoroughly prior to purchase.
Cheers

Hammer guns never seem to fade away. I have a friend who owns one and it is in mint condition and doing very well too.

You might find a Baikal for that price or twenty more but it won't be a selective trigger. For that you will have to move into the Perazzi league or the Beretta League and those my friend cost about five or more lakhs.

Babar ,
am afraid you cant make it!
you may get 30-35k for your Hollis, but the rest of the stuff is...well, just not possible under the prevailing conditions today.
Even the ejectors, if they malfunction, can be a liability.
While i agree one needs no particular reason to own a fine /better weapon, i think you should try the jammu made O?U shottys, rather than go for a slightly better looking 'english' antique.Even the english arent buying 'English' any more-too damned expensive, and a whole lot of cheaper makers in the market-Spanish, Brazilian, Turkish-yeah, hatsan makes some very decent shotguns-are major players.
So, be prepared for some rude shocks as you explore the market
