Trust me, you won't need one in there!

 

When we looked at it last winter it was extremely warm all the way through the cottage,it's double glazed as well.

[Best London oil finish]

Hi,

I am looking to get a London oil finish on the stock of my Beretta,I have had two quotes so far one at £140, and one at £450, just a bit confused as to the huge difference in price.

 

Can anyone recommend a gunsmith or individual, capable of doing the above,I am quite happy to travel from Bedfordshire,

 

Thanks

[Save the grouse moors petition]

I think the point is guys, someone is trying to do something positive to try and counter the Packham/avery petition, taking the Mickey isn't really helping at all,

[Petition to support grouse moors and grouse shooting]

It's gaining momentum, and the spelling has been corrected, I say well done.

[Save the grouse moors petition]

Well it seems that whoever has ownership of the above petition has got his housekeeping in order now, spelling and grammar all present and correct! And what's more he has got momentum,I really think we should get behind this and show some support.

[tagged hen harrier missing]

Just a quick heads up guys, as you are all probably aware there is at this moment in time a petition standing at over a hundred thousand signatures asking parliament to debate banning driven grouse shooting, I personally have never been on a grouse moor and might never get the chance, but I do think it would be only a matter of time for other branches of the sport to come under the spot light if this ban was successful

 

There is a counter petition in place,called "protect grouse moors and grouse shooting" less than ten thousand signatures at the moment but gaining momentum, sorry I don't know how to do a link on here, just think it would be a good idea for everyone to get behind it,

[Chris Packham/Grouse Shooting - Merged Threads]

Is it just me, or has anybody else spotted the huge mistake that Mr Packham and Dr Avery have made? Their petition is not to ban grouse shooting, it is to ban Driven grouse shooting,if it ever did get banned the moor could revert to a walked up grouse shooting moor or a grouse shooting over pointers moor,these lesser known sports would still be totally legal,and the loop holes would be endless.

[Beretta 690 sporter]

Hi guys,

 

I am thinking of buying a beretta 690 sport, it's about a eight months old,I plan to use it as an all rounder, ie clay shooting and driven game.

 

My question is can it be fitted with flush fitting chokes? I can't stand those things that stick out of the barrels!

 

Thanks

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

Both a legal requirement my old friend, and swarf in the eye or a missing finger won't help with the shooting !

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

With a fanuc control I see, excellent photograph but no duckboard to stand on and no guards at all ! Tut tut,

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

Fen boy gets the point,

 

I wasn't looking for advice I was simply saying these guns have dropped in price by nearly five hundred quid, that must make them a bargain surely,

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

Bruno22rf,

 

I know exactly what c.n.c means my friend,I was a cnc programmer for many years,and before that I served my apprenticeship on manual machines,Bridgeport etc,I totally agree with you, the best guns are hand finished,but you ain't going to be getting one for fifteen hundred quid mate!

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

With respect,that is complete rubbish Mr tightchoke,

 

An older secondhand Berretta or Browning, could have been subjected to all manner of ill use,dropped or damaged and thousands of cartridges put through it,

 

The William Powell is brand new and made on state of the art cnc machinery,

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

Define " better" Mr tightchoke?

 

The William Powell has got " better" wood than any silver pigeon or Browning at a similar price, the metal work is at least equal to that of a Beretta or Browning of a similar price,

 

Interested to hear how you define "better"

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

Hi,

I was looking at it from a slightly different angle,I know they are re badged Rizzini over and under shot guns, but I fancied something a little different from the hordes of silver pigeons etc, this purchase will be my last gun I won't sell it,depreciation therefore is not an issue.

 

Andy

[WIlliam powell Persius]

Just a quick heads up,

 

I was looking at these guns which are basically a Rizzini B over and under at the game fair last year, at the time they being sold at around £2000, on William powells web site yesterday they were selling for just over fifteen hundred pounds each,must make them a bargain I am sorely tempted.
