  1. We shoot together and there is nothing between us. Go for the best deal at the time of buying, you can enjoy some good shooting on a budget cartridge :-)
  2. Interesting..My daughters selector drifts to the middle but we noticed it straight away and have always steered it either right or left. Does the strip and grease service always work? would be happy to pay if thats all that was needed. atvb Paul.
  3. Welshwarrior, I have a Beretta that has a stunning stock. It has a nice matt oil finish that I would like to keep, gone down the high gloss route before. Is the trade secret wax the way to go ? atvb Paul.
  4. A few of us joined slimming world summer last year. Really easy to stick to diet, no faffing about, never hungry and had a few beers two or three times a week. I lost 3 stone and reached my target weight making me a life member. Well worth a go if you are serious about loosing weight. Back to basics, proper food and less **** that we all know is no good to you. atvb Paul.
  5. Do you find you are looking at more of the rib on your 20? I have a 12 and 20 bore Beretta and the view down the 12 looks a lot better on mine .
  6. I think mine is the standard length? 30" barrels and extended chokes are the very max you would get in it. Really tight at that.
  7. welcome Dan, enjoy the site mate. atvb Paul.
  8. I hope you can turn things round on the family front, have a great 2014!! My dad has cancer, the new year is a time to dig deep and try to forgive maybe and move on.
  9. Another vote for the Razorback, no worries when sharing a motor with friends and your pride and joy is at the bottom lol. Anyone else think they were a bit tight with the shoulder strap length? mine is only just long enough and I'm not the biggest of blokes out there.
  10. This could be me ! That is exactly where I was a few years back. Get a lesson or two, it will help. For consistent clay scores though there is no easy fix just practise I'm afraid, some need more, others less. Mendips is a great little ground and a few friends and I meet there every summer...good fun ;-) By the way, my clay scores have gone up a little but I have hit ****** all in the last season in the field atvb Paul.
  11. My daughter shoots a Bettinsoli 20 bore. The only problem we have had is the barrel selector drifting into the middle, not either right or left, so have to be sure when you push it forward it is to one side or the other. Never had a double discharge or any other problem . Can't comment on the others as I have never owned or shot one. atvb Paul. p.s. hers is a mk 111 with an adjustable stock.
  12. 5-6 years ago my renewal took 14 months! hope they are better these days.
  13. I had the Country Sportsman's Record Book & Journal. First entry was 2003 and it is great fun to look back over. Lots of useful phone no. e.t.c. stored in it too, well worth doing. atvb Paul.
  14. So sad isn't it? You or I work hard for a living yet some one thinks they have the right to steel all our kit because we are the rich ones that can take a hit...from a personal view once more and I would be done...back to looking for a full time job.
  15. Fair play. As a self employed joiner I am always open to ideas on power tools. Have never gone the festool route after being relieved of all my kit a couple of years ago one Christmas holiday , that would be a hit that I could not come back from ;-)
  16. Its all swings and roundabouts Paddy, some are good some are bad.. as long as the tool does what it says it can after a year or two they have earned their stay.
  17. Tools are even more personal than guns lol. Stopped being a make fan years ago and view each tool on its own merits but to be fair Makita take some beating on cordless drills.
  18. love it on the whole, a January day on a roof can though at times make me rethink this lol.
  19. Wow, a fantastic mile stone! give her a big hug from us all !!!
  20. The very target that brings my score crashing down ! I just can't read them at all and if it drops as well I am truly beat . Time for some help in the new year . atvb Paul.
  21. I shot at Edge Hill Shooting Ground on Saturday and they were great, really good fun and relaxed place to shoot, can't be far from you? atvb Paul.
