  1. Also, the Ascent is designed to pattern 50:50 unlike a lot of sporting guns which may be 60:40. It's naturally flat shooting which I find is ideal. Clearly it will shoot high if you see a lot of rib, but that's down to set up. Get a nice figure of 8 with the mid and front bead and it's nice and flat.
  2. I've had my Ascent for almost a year after trading my Impact for it. 32 inch barrels and rounded forend. It is awesome and I adore it. I'm tall and so a slightly head up shooting position works better for me. There must be something to it as all manufacturers are following suit with either adjustable ribs or mid ribs for sporting guns. Blaser are the most recent with the Vantage. As Mr P says above, gun fit is very personal, but In terms of the build quality and everything else, they are superb guns and I can't see me needing any more gun, ever. It's always going to better than me. As for the comments about marketing, well they are a business so it's unfair to knock them for doing that bit well. Good for them.
  3. Yes. They were fantastic! I used the 9s for the close stuff on a round of Sportrap and they were really good. Low recoil, clean, good breaks. Usual Fiocchi!! I'll be getting some more soon. Very impressed.
  4. I've shot thousands of FBlu through my Guerini and not had one misfire. I know people have had problems with Mirokus but the pins replaced usually sorts it. I prefer the FBlu to the FBlack but no science behind that. Good shell at a good price.
  5. I was 3rd in A when we left at 1pm, but I think there will be plenty higher by the end of the day. Enjoyed it today it was a good shoot.
  6. Vic shot a 59 which she was happy with as she shot the hard stuff well. Once she gets comfortable with attacking the easy stuff her scores will rocket. I ended on 84 and dropped a single target on each of 8 stands!!! Oh what could have been! I say that every week!!!
  7. Have you seen any scores yet Will? One thing to be thankful of is at least it didn't rain!!!
  8. I'm on my second one now. Originally a Summit Impact and now an Ascent. Loved them both and no problems with either. Really like the way the new one handles and feel my shooting has improved with it. Great guns and highly recommended.
  9. My brother shoots 682 gold E x Trap and only shoots sporting. He wouldn't change as it suits his shooting and he puts in good results with it. Maybe pattern it and see how it does, but don't get hung up on the results.
  10. It's all in the cartridges!!! She got a new PB at the single barrel DTL 24/25. She also got a 21 at ABT with a number of very distant 2nd barrel kills all with Golden Trap. Still surprises me at the hitting power of these, but with relatively little recoil. She's convinced though that they are best when the writing is the correct way up!! She always spends a second or 2 straightening them!
  11. Very well done to all and really proud of Victoria sticking with it and now starting to see results. Great coaching and great cartridges!
  12. I use Radar Range and have some dark lenses, pink ones for mid-light and some amber lenses for low light. I think the Ambers have vents which helps, a bit. They fit me well, they are robust and the lens quality is pretty good. Be careful though, all mine are scratched and I consider myself pretty careful. Not bad enough to be distracting, but when you look carefully you can see them. I'd recommend them and you can pick them up at lots of places.
