Hello Dedabler,
thanks for the offer but im looking for the 32" barells and although the V has nice wood i'm after the traditional "silver" gamescene - not into these "modern" designs and the "burnished blackish" finish to be found on a lot of actions these days.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated.

If credit is used to buy a gun, the question of affordability of it's use etc raises its ugly head.

i have just checked with premier guns (three o clock or 1500hrs for the military types)and the event tomorrow is ON
Has stopped raining and shooting ground should be pretty much ok by tomorrow
weather forecast looks reasonable xx however we know how accurate they are "not"
wellies or a good pair of boots may well be order of the day

i'll be there - weather permitting - cant buy still waiting for SGC
waiting on rip van winkle in Notts police to stop snoring and wake up

there are 2 things in play here "a new item to be bought" and "a punters wallett"
and a few variables
if the item to be bought is identical then the punter with the cash just phones round and plays one off against the other till he can squeeze no more xx then variables have to be taken into account like travelling distance time etc etc xx however all guns are different so feel and fit of the gun should come into play xx if a gun dont fit you could find out you may have been penny wise and pound foolish xx after coming to a decision you either do the deal or walk away xx after all there are literally thousands upon thousands of guns out there xx and the market is very del boyish xx a gun at the end of the day is wood and metal and goes "bang" xx but we all love them xx never buy on the spur of the moment xx do your research properly xx knowledge is worth a lot when buying a gun be it new or used

in general terms xx u wouldnt trust a stranger xx so why on earth would u trust advice from any salesman from any firm xx their job is to make a sale xx your job is to know what you want before you go to buy and haggle for the best deal u can get xx only fools and horses springs to mind xx whether or not your purchase is in that scenario or not i wouldnt know as i wasnt there xx i do know that when i go for a clay gun i will only buy multichoke xx after all this is the day of the internet xx so much info out there xx best of all pigeon watch have plenty of helpful peeps xx imvho the odd view may well be wrong xx but the majority seem to nail down the direction one should go xx

if u r a beginner - read up on the "magic" surrounding gun fit and fitting costs before you buy a gun you can save yourself a fortune by purchasing the right gun to begin with. If u dont u could end up with a very costly "pig in a poke" or find out you have been penny wise but pound foolish. If you know nothing about gun fit etc £50 or £60 on a lesson with an approved instructor before you buy may sound dear but will more than pay for itself. Just a view

wrt shotguns - if there is a fleur de lys stamp on the barrel it ok for steel. If yours hasnt the mark u can send your gun to get it proofed for around £80. Your gunsmith will be able to advise if your gun has a reasonable chance of being suitable to that level. It is also said that the maximum choke to use would be a half. Dont take my word tho - check with a pro. By the way "hatstands" - love them or hate them - now bear the fleur de lys proofing mark

As a newbie beginner from Nottingham I have just paid £45 for about an hours instruction by a CPSA qualified instructor. The cost included use of a gun the clays and cartridges. All in all quite good value i thought. I just wondered what the experiences of other PW community members are when it comes to tuition and its cost. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Where are you?
Shouldn't need adjustable to shoot different disciplines. Cost wise depends how much it needs changing the 2 names regularly mentioned are Dennis at uk gun repairs in Somerset and Simon at doveridge both can advise on what needs doing and do te work IIRC
+1 for Simon at doveridge from what i've heard
cant comment on Dennis at uk gun repairs as im in the midlands

Guntrader is good for working out relative averages and provides a good refernce. A reference is all it is though and prices need to be looked at through a sensible eye. You are new to shooting, its one of those things, as we come across more guns and talk to more people etc we build up a good understanding of values.
the more i build up a good understanding of values; the more i scratch my head and the more i get cofused. According to the wife thats normal for me.

Alot depends on the guns your looking at high or low end the age and condition. A pair of named guns with providence in good condition mega bucks certainly more than new when they would have been a few hundred guineas...... Now tens of thousands! Old lanber/baikal etc few hundred quid now and then........ They are only worth what someone will pay and some dealers are keener to shift stock than others!
around a grand plus is about my limit xx a beretta gold e would suit once my sgc is thro - but the asking for them is anywher from around 1300 to nearly 2 grand second hand xx some dont appear to be priced according to age accessories or condition either. all very interesting

i'm only a newbie trying to learn the basics but it would appear that the cost of these services can vary wildly
i would suggest you phone a cspa coach/instructor tell him what gun u have what u want to do etc. and take a lesson with him. He would then be able to suggest the way forward. Dont know how much u paid for your gun but it maybe cheaper to trade it or sell it on gunwatch and get the instructor to choose a more appropriate gun. As a beginner were not talking real rocket science here - but from what ive found out so far, with the help of many of the pigeon watch members is that the gun must "fit" you. My advice would be to spend the money on a professional shotgun instructor to help you

in the US there is "blue book" for guns its down to dealers nose and auction prices really
thanks HDAV the market appears to be a bit "del boy" place - i thought as much as some used guns appear to be priced above what they cost new by some

has anyone any information as to how shotguns are valued in UK?
Some idea of a cars value is available in publications such as Glass's guide or Parker's Guide
Do such publications exist for shotguns?
Grateful for any comments

Hi HDAV,
why not indeed, havent really looked at those, I know miroku make them but they have so many models and, to tell the truth, im not that clued up on them, not that i know much about the others apart from shooting them and the little bit of knowledge that is a dangerous thing!! Be pleased for any advice
