welshwarrior Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I've own my main beretta since 1991 it has had 100,000s cartridges through it it's still serviceable and after a change of hinge pins and u bolt tight, no other work need do that with your choices the maintenance bill will be a lot higher I paid £650 for it back then could sell it tomorrow for 950.

HDAV Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Nest of viper's come to mind, upgrading because it's got nice "wood" cannot cut it for myself, do you think the pigeon/clay notices this when it falls out of the sky ?, gauge,lop,barrel length all do it for me, remember when Skoda were deemed only of value when the tank was full!! Look at them now. Time move's on but not for some it would seem, sorry I even asked. Last input on this, goodnight and god bless. Why ask the question the as you obviously know far more "just getting into clays" than those who have been regular shooters for years and years.... Time moves on, indeed it does. Shotguns are nothing like cars, more like spanners buy a good spanner and it will last you for life, buy a bad one and you ruin your nuts.....

owo1-man Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Bought some sort of Japanese spanner today by the name of Miroku, it's a big one at 30" and has loads of other bits by someone called Teague, not sure if it will fit into the spanner box but it's very well engineered as required so it's bound to get lots of use when servicing the Clay/Pigeon autorama machine, hope there's not any squirrels out there as they will have their nuts ruined by a truly awesome spanner. Many thanks for advice and guidance Scully and at times biased pinions from many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I think the others who passed on there biased opinions can all say "I rest my case". Well done on the choice you made ,at least you should not need to be looking to change it after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owo1-man Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Point's taken and thanks again Scully for your private opinion it was "very much" needed in the decision to exchange beer tokens for steel and wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go everybody is happy, after 100,000 shells its worth getting a precursory look over by a gun smith just incase you got a bad one....

owo1-man Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Everyone including me will be happy if HWMBO is kept away from next months bank statement, 100k shells should see me in the land of the hereafter at my age let alone in the Gunsmiths for a service, that will be taken by the local parson.

owo1-man Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Been given a budget of £300 MAX so it seems to have been a bargin, softly, softly catches bargin !!!, tin in the gun safe caught the rest, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owo1-man Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Bank statement will show £300 + price of 500 shells so only a little blagging to be done there, compared to HWMBO's Shopping trips for " Bargins" I think I've got it sorted.

robbiep Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The other approach : SWMBO shoots too, and has (Xmas pressie from loving hubby) a Beretta SP in 20 bore. My 3 shotguns combined cost less than that ! A constant 'Ace' card to use, whenever needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
