  9. Teal chokes again

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    I bought a set of 3x Teal flush Mobil chokes which arrived today. 

    I got to pattern the 1/4 choke this afternoon and am happy to report a good even spread across the plate. 

    I'm happy with the build quality, service provided at a good price.

    Just received my full set of Teal flush chokes. If it stops raining I’ll take the gun out on the clays and give them a whirl. I need to stop messing about with chokes so will stick IC in both barrels and stuck with that. 

    Have you managed to pattern these yet? 

     

    Otherwise you seen happy with them? 

  17. Premium Bonds

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Premium Bonds are ok (much better than the lottery! or banks presently) but will always reflect the interest rates of the day. 

    Everything else is a risk, but if you say hold the maximum value of bonds you could remove a small proportion and invest in a stocks & shares isa and earn far more than the majority of the rest of your cash can in bonds winnings...whilst also protecting the majority of your funds (in bonds). 

    Given the way the world is going in the face of the climate crisis shares funds in renewables like Blackrock offer, and stocks of new electric car companies are providing great returns. Take a look at the charts for the likes of Rivian, Lucid, Fisker, Nio & of course Tesla. 

    Of course it's all at your own risk and it's worth doing a little Internet research, but only using a proportion of your capital (so less of a risk), and investing in only a couple of funds or companies makes it easier to manage/keep an eye on.

    A friend of mine has the first version & no problems at all & another has the second version wich has had the odd cycling issue. They are very good guns overall & I nearly bought one as I already have a Browning Cynergy O/U.

    Instead I have now bought myself the Franchi Affinity Elite 3.5 & it performed flawlessly with 27g & 28g clay loads on it`s first outing.

    Glad to hear you bought one in the end and are enjoying it! Which version did you go for the timber or marsh? 

  19. Benelli SBE3 26"

    They are similar. However, "spot the difference" shows it has a different stock, different action - the SBE is easier cleaned as its a 2 part construction, different bolt handle and different bolt release. To name a few. Plus why buy the cheaper one when you can get the original... 

    Granted the SBE's action is easier cleaned from its 2 part action construction, but the Franchi's spring is easier to access to lube. 

    I found the stock feel identical, but the Franchi is bigger. It seems that Benellis generally suit those of a smaller build and Franchi the more suited to larger. 

    I prefer the oversized bolt and release of the Franchi, but it's a minor point anyway as easily swapped out for custom jobs. 

    Overall I think there's very little in it features/performance wise to be fair.

    Now that is interesting.  Are you able to share any more details of that  - perhaps you've written something up in another forum?  Thanks in advance if you can...

    It was all on the Navitron forum but its closed now. 

    Nissan Leaf

    Plyontech batteries

    Sofar ME3000SP battery invertor

    Trannergy solar invertor (if installing in one go one hybrid invertor would suffice) 

    Solarworld panels

     

    Best place for solar is SolarBimble and for batteries is Triple Solar. Ignore overpriced Tesla powerwalls. I have double the capacity at less than half the price with 90% of the performance. 

    Return on investment was 7years, but with all my renewables, given the constant increases in fuel etc that easily drops to sub 5 years over time
