One of the lads who comes up to our duck club clay shoot has one got to handle it not shooting thou nice looking gun but not my cup of tea il stick to my side by side ๐He did have problems with safety at the clay shoot To me it felt to light Talking to a gun dealer they told me lot people who bought them have been trading them back in
-
Agree with your outlook 100 percent pay for what you enjoy ๐I like most wildfowlers will not be too bothered by the lead phase out as Iโve been using steel for years using numerous shotguns with different chokes On waterfowl and pigeons and crows
-
Yes I did read your posts i also have alternative guns for different situations but unless cartridge companies bring out sufficient steel chambered in 2 1/2 loads as I posted with the lead ban coming in Then You might have a problem using your traditional English guns in traditional British game shoots
-
Well itโs up to cartridge companies to try produce 2 1/2 inch cartridges for steel with the lead ban on the horizon thatโs why I bought a no3 magnum means I can hunt any legal quarry with it in the uk using steel ๐
-
Chokes 1/4 1/2 3 inch chamber proofed to 1200 b Should have said its proper aya no3 magnum beaver tail fore end etc Country side alliance done a good video on YouTube Regarding Steel older guns etc well worth a watch for anybody interested ๐
-
Think this steel debate will go on as long as shooting exists Me personally Iโve put standard steel and 3 inch gamebore magnums through my 40 year old aya no3 with no problems Up too any hunter what they thinks best ๐
-
Yes I should have said that apologies
-
Iโm only suggesting if your s/s chambering is 2 3/4 all you have to do is open your choke from full to half you should be able to use standard steel through your gun
-
Great video big Al both dogs working brilliant I went out the 1st Saturday September myself to the Big lough weather was very calm Hopefully when the migrants arrive It will pick up Lovely just getting out thanks for posting Side note RC Steel never used them seem to work for you in o/u ๐๐๐๐๐

Aya no3 magnum as good as gun for the price as any gun for fowling Think there very underrated Iโve actually won skeet competitions with it With our wee duck club Nothing serious thou just nice beating some other Fowlerโs who use guns 4 times the price lol ๐๐It might be just me nothing better sitting waiting on ducks with a side by side (old romantic at heart โฃ)๐๐
-
I agree the aya especially the no3 magnum outstanding guns for waterfowl your correct there not multichoked and not proofed for high performance steel shot but mine opened chokes to 1/2 1/4 Iโve put numerous 2/34 inch steel cartridges through it and the odd 3 inch gamebore magnum as well with no ill effects These guns for the price would do a Fowlerโ for 90 percent of what There going to hunt ๐๐
-
Thatโs the best outlook to have ๐
-
Fantastic looking guns ๐๐
-
Another great photo Iโve never fired a 8 bore looks like a proper Wildfowling gun Fantastic ๐๐
-

Browning Warranty - second hand buyers beware
Gerry78 replied to stevewall968's topic in Guns & Equipment
Itโs not the first time Iโve heard about browning after sales attitude towards buyers of there guns Not very professional by a international company ๐๐๐ -
Yes just getting out when the rest of country is in bed wither on the lough foreshore etc just magical But like most Fowlerโs season the worse the weather the better the buzz of getting out
-
Lovely post MM I didnโt bother going out here I N Ireland the weather at the minute very warm received couple text messages from Fowlerโs couple mallard ๐ฆ dropped but not much about I should be out Saturday morning weather depending hopefully itโs a bit cooler But come winter when the migrants arrive thatโs hopefully when the shooting picks up

Very good post the same situation happened to me a lot of years ago I was in a small pheasant shoot rearing our own birds doing work days feeding etc I took a bad feeling toward doing all the work for not enough birds being properly hunted I also had a young family with commitments and a job with shift work I ended up packing the pheasant shooting in and just stuck to Duck clubs My wee club (Ducks)a lot more lead back couple workdays fixing hides etc See how you go this season donโt rush into leaving I still get the notion to go out the odd Saturday for walked up pheasants but with me not willing to put the work in thatโs not a possibility now unless I book somewhere Hopefully youโll enjoy the season ๐I donโt think age really matters we all get doubtful sometimes
-
Agree 100 percent MM ๐๐

Yes you should have no problems ๐
