  1. I like that idea in fairness
  2. Hi John, thanks for the info 👍🏻 appreciated
  3. Morning team. Im after some 30" pattern plate targets, I understand I could get them printed by a specialist, but wondered if anyone knew where I could buy a few of the "self healing" old plastic type? I don't have the space for a painted steel type. Thanks a lot in advance.
  4. Shockingly, Gamebore haven't even bothered to respond to my email. Doesn't say much for their customer service. 👎
  5. In fairness, the Eley Selects were round and uniform and pretty much a budget case. So, if they can manage it, the premium guys should have zero excuses?
  6. The problem is, where I got them from won't want 249 cartridges back 🤦‍♂️ I have emailed Gamebore, I will wait and see what they say.
  7. Im generally the same, within reason. I have not ever personally liked CompX, I would much rather shoot the equally priced 27gm Superfast.
  8. Undoubtedly. Just, in direct comparison to Fiocchi they don't shoot the same. Naturally, an entirely subjective statement. Though, the main point of this posting is the manufacturing inconsistencies that are undeniable in the photos.
  9. The photo may not be doing the colour justice. It is nickel colour in reality. I suspect its the correct shot, just abysmal QC. As a side note, they shot very poorly.
  10. The Whitegold is still advertised as a current premium shell with the new quad seal. It’s supposed to be 5x graded. I suspect all 5 of their sieves are damaged or out of tolerance as there is absolutely no way this has been graded. I suspect they would still break clays, im just more disappointed in the non-existent quality control. You buy a product hoping for a service.
  11. Beretta 686 Silver pigeon, Browning 525 or Miroku MK38/70. Whatever fits best. 👍
  12. I just cut another White Gold open. Here are the results - Remember, a 7 1/2 should be 2.3mm according to Gamebore. Red box = Obviously huge shot by the Mk1 eyeball. On measurement ranged between 3.31mm - 3.01mm. So Shot size 3-4. Green = 2.44mm Orange = Egg shaped shot. Again, a quick scan by the Mk1 eyeball. Pretty poor. I cut open a Eley Select and they were uniform, round and £50 cheaper/1000… Though, I don’t like them.
  13. I'll cut another as I have deleted the photos. I'm confident they will all be the same. I'll try get a photo for interests sake. They definitely don't have the Gordon recoil system.
  14. I recently bought some Gamebore White Gold 28gm 7.5 Fibre Quad Seal hoping for decent results from a relatively premium cartridge. These were quite expensive compared to the Fiocchi FBlack Sporting 8.5s Fibre I usually use. I opened one up the other night to have a look at the quad seal. The first thing I noticed was the shot was meant to be 5x graded… It contained shot from 2.2mm to 3.0mm - not very uniform and noticeably all over the place. In fact, some pellets weren’t even round. Secondly, the quad seal was rock hard. I have no idea how it was expected to seal a barrel? I expected it to be more like nylon in feel allowing for expansion. I know these came from a supplier who has stored them properly, as I collected them from a sound environment. The last thing I noticed, is they are very ‘thumpy’, in fact overly for their use. They haven’t shot well either compared to the Fiocchi. Has anyone else experienced this? I generally steer wide of Gamebore game cartridges as I have had similar experiences in the past. A considerably expensive letdown.
  15. Read that earlier. Not good for the woman, club or sport.
  16. I would go loose connection between the adapters then. Try packing it out.
  17. How old is he Hilux and how old is the trailer? The reason I ask, is some Hilux's don't like LED lights. Are you also getting an audible alarm in the cab?
  18. I currently have a SBE3 stock and the pistol grip shape is horrible. Im looking to change it to a M2 version with a better more ergonomic shape.
  19. Hi mate, I'm only after the stock unfortunately
  20. Agreed... a technophobe and a keyboard! Ill try change its location. @Zapp + @Teal - can this be moved location please? Im unsure if im allowed to do it. Apologies.
  21. Wanted: Benelli M2 Black Comfortech Stock
