  1. Gun Cabinet for sale. Holds 3-4 guns. 280mm Wide 230mm Deep 1520mm Tall Small section in the top for something. Good condition, although there is some paint on sides. Collection from Didcot, Oxfordshire. £60
  2. I use skeet and 1/4. Mainly because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to change the chokes back over
  3. Four Counties near Newbury is a nice Sunday shoot. Not sure how far you want to travel. It would be about an hour from you I guess.
  4. I average around 30-35, my best is 40/50. I only shoot on average once a month due to work.
  5. A pair of cheap ex army peltor that I paid £6 for. Do they job well enough. I've seen the same ones branded with Beretta and other names selling for £25+ I do like the idea of active defenders, might treat myself to a pair at some point.
  6. Joined the CPSA on Tuesday and shot my first registered shoot today at Four Counties in Newbury with a friend. It was also our first 70 bird shoot. Managed to hit 42, which I was happy with, decided one round was just not enough so we went around again and I hit 57. I was over the moon with that
  7. My whole process also took around the 4 week mark from posting the application to receiving my SGC. I guess some areas are busier than others.

    Red Kite

    I live in Didcot, Oxfordshire and I kid you not, I see anywhere from 10-20 of these lovely birds each day. Regularly have them flying over the garden. The in-laws even feed them on cheap steak, they are quite happy to land in their garden for a free meal.
  9. How do I go about using this spray to clean my shotgun? Do I just spray the cleaner down the barrels instead of using bore cleaner on the bronze brush? I see it says that it contains a protective oil for barrels, can I spray this directly to the outside of the barrels and then rub down with a oily cloth? Thanks for any replies, I fairly new to shooting and I'm paranoid about keeping my gun as clean as I can and want to make sure I'm doing everything right.
  10. I'm sure I heard something on the radio today about fuel prices hitting £2 by the end of the year! I bloody hope not :(
  11. That's good to know I'll keep my eye out for one. Cheers.
  12. Thanks for the replies, they are all appreciated I know for sure the stock as not been shorted but the butt pad has had some trimmed off it. How hard/much would it cost to get a new pad fitted if needed? What's involved in a fitting session? I am keen to get a gun and some lessons booked, would a fitting session be included in a lesson?
  13. Hehe, I've got a chance to use it at a shoot at the end of the month, so I'll be doing so then. I've been using a Baikial O/U with double triggers the last couple of times I've shot and do fairly well with that, so I'm hoping a "better" gun will help me see some improvements
  14. I've not seen the gun yet but I have no reason not to believe my friend They've been shooting together for the last 10 years. Thanks for the replies If all is well I guess I'll take it then
  15. I'm new to shooting and I'm looking to get my first gun in the next month or so. I've been offered, by a friend of a friend, a 3 year old 682 Gold E. It's his daughters gun and is in as new condition, with around 1500 shots through it. It comes with everything it would have had when new including the hard case and chokes. He's asking for £1400 for it. As I said, I'm new to shooting so have no idea how good of an offer this is, if at all. I've had a look on Guntrader and they seem to be anywhere from £1200 - £2200 S/H on there, that's a big difference. My original budget for my first gun was about £1200 but I thought this could be a good deal and if so would be willing to go to £1400. Thanks for any advice/help.
