Alycidon Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Expensive but a Holland and Holland Royal. It had everything. balance, weight, pointability, looks, wood, Engraving the full set. But that's why they cost as much as they do. it was like an extension of the body like pointing a finger at the target. I have shot a Royal and did not think it was much better that the AYA No2 I was using at the time. Never shot a whole lot of guns, my 687 Lt Wt game is probably the best handling but the same in 20b with 29 inch tubes is very nice to the point where had I shot more I would have to have one.

winnie&bezza Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Define handling I'm ex military shooting everything out there plus iv'e shot shotguns since being 9 yrs old iv'e owned everything from single brls to semis,ss o/u pumps etc it's not a motorbike you point and shoot .i have won clay competitions winning £300 plus hampers etc using the clay clubs own cheap gun beating snobs with their purdy's and £2000 brownings ah if you can shoot you can shoot nothing to do with handling .get over it.when i hear this excuse oh it dont fit me bla bla or i dont like its handling bla bla its a **** poor excuse for your bad shooting skills Bit of an Ignorant statement. So arm length, eye sight and hand preference wouldn't be affected by the 'club gun'? I know that if that gun has a right cast,14.5 lop and 28" barrels then I probably wouldn't be able to shoot it as well as if it had left cast,15" lop and 30" barrels. They buy £2000 guns as they want to as its there hobby and if that gun gives them more pleasure and confidence then I can't see a problem.

decoyman Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 My old Miroku 800 skeet gun, 26 inch barrels,although my webley and scott 720 20 bore takes some beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmb Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Tried one of our shoot members AYA #2 and really liked how it handled when shooting pheasants. I'm biased but my old berreta 686 special fits me like a glove, better than the new silver pigeon classic I'm looking at buying anyway.
