Hi all. I have had some good runs of form whilst on the pigeons. I remember on an April day about 10 - 12 years ago, I was decoying on some patchy rape. I ended on over 100, shooting from 2-6pm. I remember at one point being on 50 pigeons for my first 54 shots. They decoyed nicely, and I was on form for once....

After much I thought I have decided to sell this gun. It is in very good condition apart from a bit of wear to the butt pad. It is 3 1/2" chambered, has a 28" barrel and is steel proofed. It comes with 3 spare chokes, shims, stock extension, choke key, hard case, sling swivels etc. It has the kick-off recoil reducer in the stock. Overall it is a very good gun. I am looking for £800 for it. Location is Terrington, Norfolk.

Proberbly the best all round shot gun out there.

I have made the point many times over the years that a gun doesn't necessarily need a fleur de lis in order to be fine with "HP" steel. -
I have some for sale. Lead Winchester etc. Where is local?

Missed this post. Will get some pictures over to you later.

A bit far for you, maybe, but I am going to sell mine. Probably only had 500 shots fired through it. Mine is a synthetic mossberg pump.
-
It is multi choked. It is in very good condition. It has probably fired less than 300 shots since I bought it about 5 years ago. I think it has a small mark on the stock, but nothing major. I have the box for it. All the chokes should be present. I'd be looking for £375 for it. If you're still interested I will take some photos later.

Is Pigeon Shooting Over Spring Drillings Now A Thing Of The Past ?
motty replied to marsh man's topic in Talk From The Field
They don't ignore them, as such. It is the same as any other crop that a pigeon will eat; they must find them, for starters, then maybe there is something in the area they prefer. That is like me when talking to him!! -

Is Pigeon Shooting Over Spring Drillings Now A Thing Of The Past ?
motty replied to marsh man's topic in Talk From The Field
Judging by many posts on FB, this is most certainly not the case. I have seen many posts of 200+ or 100+ days on recent drillings. I had a bag of 97 on some direct drilled spring wheat a fortnight ago. Drillings will continue to produce good pigeon bags. -
Have you been asleep for a few years or something?

Don't ruin your gun by opening the chokes!
-
I can't agree with that. No one should be stupid enough to use cartridges that are unsuitable for their gun. If a gun owner can't read, then perhaps they should not own a gun.
-
So if 8 guns have 6 drives in a day, you think an average of 2 birds per gun per drive will leave everyone satisfied? A 36gm steel load would be an ideal load for most pheasants. Why would you suggest it isn't?
-
If you were happy with them and they work as you want, why did you ask if anyone else had used them? I personally wouldn't buy them unless I had little other choice. Most of my pigeons are killed with an ounce of 7 or an ounce of 6.5. I wouldn't pay £140 a thousand extra for something that does a similar job.

An enjoyable read.

Pigeons can slow down, and clays can speed up.
-
I totally agree. I was reading all that, hoping I might be educated. I was wrong, sadly.

There isn't a cartridge on sale that won't kill a pigeon. Cheapest doesn't mean worst.
