  1. Best comb raisers in my opinion are the Isis ones, they raise the comb but do not stick out at the sides like some throwing the cast out.
  2. I was very sorry to hear the sad news about Paddy he was a legend of clay shooting and another one gone. I didn’t know him personally but of course knew of him and saw him around at various shoots over the years. He was one of the established top shots when I started clay shooting some 40 years ago. I understand that when Grimsthorpe shooting ground first started doing competitions years ago he helped Mark set the courses and would not compromise on the difficulty level and helped establish the fine reputation that ground had for top notch targets. R.I.P Paddy.
  3. Has anyone got a spare barrel for a 1950s Auto 5 that’s in good order that they would like to sell? 28/29 “ with 1/2 choke would be ideal.
  4. Whist talking about roost shooting I’ve noticed quite a lot happening on a Sunday afternoon and evening near us. Is this the done thing or am I old fashioned?
  5. I would guess he’s actually looking for shooting, pigeons etc.
  6. Cracked stocks can be very successfully repaired. Tim Greenwood gunsmith is brilliant at this sort of work.
  7. There are several on Guntrader!
  8. I think we need a complete revamp of how do things, the whole system is rotten to the core.
  9. 687 was marketed as a “delux” upgrade version of the 686 with better engraving and wood and the embellishment on the top lever etc. I remember wanting one in the 80’s but couldn’t quite afford it. Eventually bought a 686s, 30” multi choke which I should never have got rid of.
  10. There’s a couple of 3/8s on guntrader - equipment - chokes
  11. For that kind of money vmaxphil is right, you can’t beat those old Berettas 300 series, 28” and you have a great all round gun.
  12. You don’t get those constrictions with the XS, you do get light full, full and extra full which are debatable that you need for a sporter. However you do get 3/8s with the XT which is the trap version of the XS otherwise they are as rare as hen’s teeth. The other option is to go for Briley instead. Browning seem to have funny ideas on what chokes shooters want with their guns! Both XS and XT excellent guns though 👍🏻
  13. Think some of the gunmakers have latched on to built in obsolescence!
  14. Another one for the 18v DeWalt. I bought one to do my hedges as I needed something lighter after a couple of operations and was really impressed on how they coped with my 100 metres of hedges up to 8 ft high.
  15. Are they in a white case and didn’t they also do a 36gm version?
