Summary of the differences Sporter: Usually a bit heavier Often have non automatic safety catches Some may have clay orientated features, examples include: Overly raised top rib, raised cheek spine, fluorescent sights etc Game: Usually lighter Usually have an automatic safety catch Some will say that sporters are designed to have a wider shot pattern than a game gun but it's nonsense really, shot pattern is more a gun and cartridge combination thing. Unless you're talking about really top end sporters with all the bells and whistles, the difference is really not massive but if you're a game shooter you may end up paying for things you don't need like extended chokes etc if you buy a sporter. Sometimes this can be an advantage however, for example I owned a Silver pigeon sporter for a while and I know most of the game shooters I know preferred it to the game version as it felt more balanced.

Depends what it's choked to but to be honest a nice Berretta fixed choke is probably all the gun the vast majority of shooters will ever need, depends what it's choked to though. I only own one gun and it's choked for 1/4 and 3/4 which I find is the perfect combination.

Well on those criteria the Browning probably wins on all but beauty. I'd get the Ceaser, be different! It's nice to own something that not everybody has! However comments about re sale valid on Browning being higher are valid.

eurgh I'm very nervous about this, I'm going to double check with the local gun smith tomorrow see what he says!

That's very kind Goldeneye, I'm based in Essex, are you in Cambridge?

ok so how would one remove the stock? It's a Webley and Scott side by side....can someone be honest and tell me whether or not this is amateur fare? I'm distinctly o.k with my hands but have never attempted anything on a gun, let a lone by own favourite one! Will I need a stripper to take off a shiny english looking finish or is that just oil?

Hello all, I received the Napier Gun STock Finishing kit for Christmas and am unsurprisingly apprehensive about using it. Can anyone share any past experiences? Will I have to totally remove the lock from the stock when I use it? If so I think it might be a bit of a big job for me

In my opinion, you should steer well clear of Revo, I'm actually disappointed in Sportsman Gun Centre for even stocking them. Our club was going to buy a few as learning guns so I had a good look. The chequering is abysmal, might as well not be there it is that agricultural. The hinge was barely tight and stiff and the gun was supposed to be brand new. Against our advice one of the members bought one anyway, needless to say he regrets it now. The top rib is separating from one of the barrels, the trigger is ridiculously stiff, when our club captain first fired it he thought the safety was on! The stock looks like it comes from a spare pallet in a builder's yard. And what is more? I don't think £500 is particularly cheap. Admittedly it is cheap for a new gun, but considering one can get a second hand Lincoln, Lanber, AYA Yeoman O/U for around that price I believe it offers very poor value for money.

Hi chap, is number 1) real leather? Does it have a maker's name on it anywhere?

Price drop to £40, half what I paid for it!

price drop to £45

Hello all, For sale I have a Musto Country Gilet in BLUE. It has been worn only once or twice and is a little long for me. Size is medium. I'm a 38" chest and it's a little big on me so would probably fit up to a 40". It's exactly the same as this one here: http://www.musto.com/fcp/product/Out...lour=dark+moss Price is £50 including postage, you pay paypal fees! Thanks, Will

It was on for £2000 but I wrangled them down to £1700

Ah I think I may have a solution! Put 30 -32gms through instead of 28gms. I saiy this as a friend of mine bought one to muck about with and found it cycled much better and more efficiently with heavier loads.

Hello all, Bought a new shooter on thursday and thought I'd post some pictures up as I think it's a little bit special. It's a Webley and Scott 701 'Best Boxlock Ejector' - It is a very different gun from a standard Webley. It was made some time in the 30's when W&C were based in London (On 55 Victoria street by the looks of things) as such it feels much more like a London Boxlock than a Northern one. By this I mean it's a little more slender and feels less chunky and more refined. Its selling point for me was the wood which is gorgeous but did mean I completely blew my budget, ah well I'm happy! Here are the pics:
