  1. I have just been invited to shoot boar and deer in France (Alsace region) in a few weeks time by a contact through my job. Sounds exciting! However, while I have shot several stags in Scotland with a friend (his gun and land) I do not possess a firearms certificate, only a shotgun certificate for pigeons and the odd duck and pheasant. I understand that we will be using a rifle. So my question is do you think I can shoot or not? I believe I need to apply for a French temporary hunting licence? Please help.

  2. He's 12. I started with right eye dominance but got to about 20 and my left eye took over. Stil wonder if I should switch shoulders today. So I don't want him to have the same issue.

     

    When he is older and gets his own gun I would like to be able to return the 20b to my friend with the original stock, that's why I want to know if they are interchangeable and if they can be bought separately.

  3. My son is about to start shooting, a very generous friend of mine has offered him a long term loan of a Silver Pigeon 20 bore. The gun is for a right hander, which my son is, however it looks like his master eye is his left eye. I plan to take him for a lesson or two to get started and suspect that the coach will recommend he shoots off his left shoulder. If this is the case can anyone tell me if I can buy a left handed stock for his gun and swap this for the current stock, so my son can take advantage of my friends kind offer? Or will i need to get a leftie gun? As these guns are machine made I am hoping the stock would be interchangeable. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

  4. Thanks for the speedy replies. To follow up, I want this gun for the ducks, so I want to put 3 inch steel through it such as Gambore Mammoth 3" Magnum Steel Shot 3 shot 36 grammes, they state on this cartridge that the gun should be proofed to 1370 bar. I believe modern Berettas are proofed for this, but can you tell me if a Beretta 302 would be? I dont yet have the gun so I cant look at the barrel to see what it says, but if you could tell me what to look for, I can ask the owner to check. Thanks again.

  5. How do you tell what chamber size a gun is? Is it stamped on the barrel or do you need to stick a measuring tape down the breech and measure? I am interested in a Beretta 302, most I think are 2 3/4 inch but some are 3 inch. Thanks in advance.
