    Been shooting for 45years,pigeon,duck,geese,clays and a few other thing over the years. Getting on a bit now, but still enjoy getting out in the hide and nobody to bother me but the odd doo.
  1. Knowing tignme I am sure he meant a "dead" live bird rather than a "live" live bird. He is very experienced , or maybe he meant a "live" plastic one
  2. Try them at Olympic Skeet------They should be fast enough, and they will surely " DUST EM "
  3. Well done . You certainly did,nt "MISS AGAIN" there. Mine cost me a grand. But it was certainly worth it.
  4. Hi I have been shooting for 40 odd years. Have used various autos, Beretta,Browning ,Winchester at clays and live targets. I now use a Benelli SBE2. Best yet. Has not missed a beat in over a year[28gm 7.5 thru to 3" magnums]. A bit pricey but in my opinion"worth it" If I had to replace it, it would definitely be another Benelli.
  5. The first cartridges thru were 28gm 7.5s at clays, then 32gm No 6 lead at pigeon,then 32gm No4 steel at wildfowl with a few 3" magnum No2s when the geese appeared. It cycled whatever I put in from the start
  6. My SBE 2 has a slight movement in the fore-end also.Not noticeable when shooting.I wont change a 1st class gun because of this
  7. It didnt float away, It probably just slipped off the branch and SWAM away. Joking aside, NICE SHOT
  8. In my opinion " ITS WORTH" holding onto. Why are selling?
  9. Identical to the one I got last year. Superb for wildfowling & pigeons. I find the inertia system more reliable than any gas operated system [not had a jam using 28gm 7.5s up to 3"magnums] cant say that about any other semi-auto I have owned. Regards the WOOD v PLASTIC comment in one of the earlier posts--its horses for courses-- I have a wood stock 32" Browning which I use for clay shooting----It would get in some state ,out wildfowling. ENJOY YOUR SHOOTING WITH A GREAT TOOL.
  10. : : I respect your opinion, CHEERS
  11. I assume you were drinking some foriegn muck this evening then. Good Malt is good U.K.
  12. If its a serious drunken debate your after, what about Good Scotch MALT whisky
  13. I bought a Benelli super black eagle last year. I have shot pigeon,geese & duck with it and cannot fault it in any way. Better than any of the Beretta/Browning or Winchester semi-autos that I have used. P.S.-----I use a Browning 325 32in O/U for my clay shooting, but find it easy to change to the Benelli S.B.E.for my game shooting. You should not go wrong with your Benellis .
  14. Hi I am a newbie to PW but not to shooting. Like all good forums there are some Good , Bad ,and Ugly issues to peruse thru. I am looking forward taking part in it.
