The gun that appeared on here last August, is the gun that I know. I also know that both the previous owner and the current owner have struggled to find the maker. I can state that NONE of the chokes we have tried, will fit the gun, CD (Classic Doubles), Browning standard Invector or Mobil. There are a couple of chokes that came with the gun, but THAT is it. All efforts to identify the chokes have met with a negative result. I think you may be confusing the gun with a Classic Doubles, they were made in the old Winchester factory in Japan.

That is exactly the same gun that I know of and can categorically state the chokes are NOT Invector, in his anyway. It seems very little is known about these guns or their origin. There are a couple on Guntrader.

I think you might struggle with this one. I know someone with one of these guns. He thought it was a Classic Doubles, but it is an entirely different gun. My genuine Classic Doubles has some chokes marked as CD and the restriction. I have some Browning standard invector and they fit, but I am currently using 2 Briley Invector chokes. It would seem that the 'Classic Game' guns uses chokes unique to that gun. My Invector chokes certainly don't fit it.

I put that much interest in cartridge speed, I couldn't even tell you what it is, in the cartridges that I am using. All I do know is, when the shot is on its way, you sure as hell ain't gonna catch it up !

It only takes ONE person to complain, it costs them NOTHING to do so. However it can cost the grounds thousands to fight the issue. Local Councils can be a pain, their planning Officers are sometimes quite THICK about the requirements placed on a ground. A few years ago, the local ground had a single noise complaint, from someone who did not even live nearby. It took 2 years and a lot of money, but the ground won. Planning Officer advised the ground to build earth banks, to decrease the noise. Several months later, a second Planning Officer, came and ordered them to remove the earth banks because......... they did not have planning permission to erect them

Exactly what Merseyside require too.

To be honest I have never been a cartridge buff. The price is high on my agenda, BUT, once I find a cartridge that is 'clean' in use, produces good kills through my 2 x 1/4 chokes and is easy on my shoulder, I stick with it. It just happens to be F Blues in 24 and 28 gram, plastic and fibre, but I am paying less than £70/250 for them.

I am sure that reference was made to the way 'she had been treated by her father' was the root cause of her violent behaviour, coupled, of course, with alcohol.

The children were old enough to accept this as normal 'grown up' behaviour. It then continues through the next generation. The 'Wife' needed some serious psychiatric treatment though.

THAT is exactly right. This sort of behaviour is nothing new. I have been retired over 20 years and, although not on this scale, similar things were occurring then. One elderly lady who had the audacity to report a gang of 'dog' men, got up one morning to find her 2 beloved cats, hanging on her front gate, with their guts hanging out. A Keeper on a local estate, raged war on these local dog men until he had a note pinned to his cottage door "We've poisoned you pheasant food" ! and the door to his food store forced. The estate had to scrap the lot, just in case. They are an evil breed and their answer to everything is violence and intimidation. I did once manage to 'move on' one illegal encampment on a local hospital grounds. I drove around their camp every hour with blues and two's on, all night and every night for 4 nights. They moved on ! They even 'closed' a motorway with 4 x 4 pick ups early one Sunday morning, whilst they raced pony and traps down the carriageway !

Whenever I am shooting driven game, regardless of the gun being O/U or S x S, I always fire the 'choke' barrel first. I can never understand why most game shooters never do this ? Preferring to shoot the open choke first, then 'pluck' the bird using the choke barrel, when the bird is a lot closer. Most 'game' guns were set up to fire the open barrel first, followed by the choke barrel. Fine on walked up stuff, where the bird jumps, is shot at and is followed by the choke barrel as the range increases, but not a lot of use on an approaching target. With regards to clayshooting guns, I agree that the bottom barrel can recoil less.

Item arrived and exactly as described. Thank you dogger. Sorry Button. W.

Thank you. I am still awaiting some contact from 4 tackle suppliers, the annoying thing is, I gave away a similar rod bag last year. 🙄

I have emailed Snowbee to see if they can supply one, I have sent a few similar emails to some tackle shops. My Wife works in a charity shop, I shall ask her to watch out for some trousers with a 36" leg. Mine at 30" are too short.

Has anyone got a cloth fishing rod bag, they would like to sell ? It is for a 10 foot, 4 piece fly rod. It measured, 32" long (plus flap) by 6" wide. One of our club members must be 'minding' it for me ! Thanks.

Now that sounds like a lovely piece of kit ! Good luck with the sale.

I have a front seat passenger that tells me where to go ! I just turn off my hearing aid 😊

Check out YouTube.

Having checked, it will fit the Beretta 303 onwards.

Does the 301 not have a knurled ring on the OUTSIDE of the barrel, the chokes are unthreaded and simply drop in ? IF that is the case, then the MOBIL choke will not fit.

You have pm.

I have found that Briley standard Invector chokes, work very well in my CD.

At least he wasn't using his mobile phone ! 😁

I'll second that, Why ?

Even if they don't ! Road closures, investigation team, emergency teams, air ambulance etc. etc. etc. Autopsy, Coroners Courts, legal representation ? None of them are free. Not withstanding the devastating effect on relatives.
