Underdog Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 You can't appreciate a well fitting sxs until you try one. Then it clicks, the ease of use and a joy to carry. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravanman Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Indeed. I only ever used it on formal days and rough shoots but the last 2 outings in the hide have been a revelation. I have a feeling the pump will be getting left behind from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinach Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Great wood!! I've got a 26" sabel hide gun that points so quickly it's a joy shame the stock is just short and it needs a comb riser. Looks tatty but is great for woodcock and walked up. Only real problem is you know you've been using it after a day!! John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so with you on this, my aya25 was gona be saved for game days but just to hsve a play i took it out pigeon shooting. It was fantastic.

Guest cookoff013 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 i reload subs for my sxs, i love the old classic shells, almost no recoil even in these and total control over distance, shells and shot size in an instant. these sxs were never ever designed to shoot 1400fps + loads.

Caravanman Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 It is a lovely gun. Got it from my father who bought it second hand at the end of the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfletch88 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Used my SxS the last couple of weekends and always forget how well it fits. They're extremely fun to shoot as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've got an old Gunmark Black Sabel that I love. Bought cheap as a short stock but I'm only 5'4 and it fits me well. I bring it out on beaters days as a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
