Lovely guns those MacNab Highlanders. Much underrated and excellent value when you consider they are by B.Rizzini the best of the Rizzini clan and better value than say a B.Rizzini Aurum which is identical but without the solid top rib that the MacNab has.
Someone will have an absolute bargain if buying that.
Good luck with the sale.
OB
Thanks for the remarks

Sounds a bit like the grey squirel trappers. A gent put some traps in our woods on our shoot. But never set them and did not check them
He was asked to leave and one of our syndicate set his own traps and checked them everyday and cleaned them out for a while and reds returned
The Gov pays these trappers and this one did nothing

The BBC news readers and others took a pay cut to help poor bbc out Yet Shearer and co all got pay rises. CP was one of my arguements for not paying my tv license
Which i have'nt for 3 years. Just write them a harsh letter and they agree that i do.nt have to pay

The Tory ministers will be pleased that they won’t get grilled by him anymore - Suzanna Reid might be able to get a word in now - poor thing makes me want to give her a cuddle.
All this Meg & Haz nonsense is a distraction from the real news of nurses getting 1% pay rise .
Spot on I hate the man and have little respect for Harry and Meg. They are just trying to stay in the lime light Yet they wanted privacy. P Morgan just became outspoken and likes to hear his own irritating voice and just wanted to dominate the programme and use it for his own innuendo Regardless of anyone else wanting to speak. Just watched a clip on utube and looks like he does'nt like recieving what he has been giving out for years

They all work from home and cannot deal with anything. They can take your money But cannot refund Plus they close their site so no one can hack their site But they still have access to your bank. I went with them 13 month ago and they transaferred the wrong MPAN from BG So i ended up paying both for the same energy. I have eventualy got it all sorted with BG and am now with another company. But E-on still have my money that they took by fraud and will sue them very soon

Not all of us , more here in Scotland voted for Brexit , than did for the SNP party . There success was down to the lack of trust people had in both the Labour and the Conservative parties . Hope we see some changes in this next election in May , hope to see the SNP loose more seats .
Well said As i live just south of the Border and knew you Scots did not want independence. Even thought Jimmy cranky tried to brainwashs the kids . If she goes for another vote She'll be in the hospitals getting hand prints form babies and X's from the insane

You all seem to forget the 70's National companies bleeding money from tax payers and making **** .That is when they actualy went to work as the unions were running the damned country and allways striking aka Scargill. who was still taking a wage out the union long after the mines were closed
Thatcher gave him a smacking and finished him and the mines were shut
I missed out on a lot of schooling as there was no coal to heat the school boilers
She pulled the country round in the 80's so i see Boris pulling things around

I've never shot a 20bore before and am interested to hear the differences/benefits from someone who shoots both? Cheers
Hi I shoot all three 20,16 and 12 For walked up days the 20 or 16 are great You carry more smaller cartridges. All depends what quarry you wish to take down. I was at a shoot taking very high duck and pheasant using a 12g Then i took the 16g on a couple of drives and took realy long birds down . Even a picker up did not believe i was using 28g in a 16g. They all shoot the same but the smaller bore patterns better

Beretta own Soeger in Turkey who make some barrels for them Berreta have their receivers made in ATA factories in Turkey
Sorry i meant Stoeger. Maybe this is why true Berreta men think the new Berreta's are not as good as the older models when they were made in Italy?

One of the blokes i shoot with bought one second hand. On one driven day the barrels swelled out where the chokes are. We asked him not to use it anymore' He later took it to the gunshop where he bought it and they wiped their hands of it and offered nothing. He took it home and sawed the ends off and still shoots it. Not for me. Buy something tried and tested

I ignored them last year and they kept sending threatening letters. So i sent them a letter and attacked them about Packam and few other over paid over rated unprofesional staff and constant cheap programmes and repeats. Plus i stream and the dish is not receiving. They sent a nice letter back and said that i do not require a license
So just write to them and the more and more letters they receive the better and it would cost them more to persue the matter Plus i do'nt think they would be allowed to use public funds to mitigate legal action Unlike Chris Packam has done

If we are discussing the merits of strength in this type of stock, would carbon fibre be even stronger and perhaps lighter.
YES is the simple answer and guns are out there in carbin fibre and in my own opinion is the alternative to wood. But i will get shot down ?

Well done you! 👍Is this a Willy waving contest? 😀
I built Tradis and Passiv Haus for many years, the length and breadth of the country, and the company I subbed to was a main contractor via Warmcel to East Lothian Council for many years, in which time we built entire schools at Tranent, Dunbar, Haddington, Gullane and Stoneyhill. An Isle of Man Parliament building we constructed and erected is supported entirely by laminated ( glulam ) beams of such a depth, width and length I had never seen before.
We have built others, as well as more bespoke private houses than I can recall.
None of this however, proves anything, and certainly has no bearing on the integrity ( or lack thereof ) of laminated stocks.No not a willy ****** contest. I like timber, Proper wood and a traditionalist and time served the old ways and done besoke joinery since leaving school. No one will ever sell me the idea of laminate stocks or battery cars that cost more to manufacture and more carbon footprint and toxins in the glues

I must apologise, I did not read the opening link, I thought it was the 525 in grey laminate. The model which this post refers is around the same price of a standard 525. Nevertheless I would still go for the traditional 525 or the miroku equivalent
Miroku better buy, The laminate 525 is still £200 to £300 more than the wood. Made in the same factory in Japan. We had a simulated day on an estate i beat on and a friend stopped and gave me his gun and said try this and i shot realy good and he said so. But i told him i sold my Brownings as i could'nt use them. Then he said it's a Miroku' Different gun to shoot

As do I, or did until very recently. We built entire houses with structural laminates. Engineered wood is a marvel, especially on externals.
The thing with glulams is that whilst being unbelievably strong and durable, they are designed not to move, in any direction, and can also be worked on, hence laminated stocks! 🙂
I have made and constructed timber frame houses both as an employee and for myself since 79 The outer skin was either ply or OSB and the trusses were manufactured in a factory but timber and everything was timber apart from the outer ply osb sheathing. Never had any movement or complaint. I live in a timber frame house done by another company The same construction technic and no cracks in 28 years
I do loads of hardwood floors But no one has asked for a plywood floor. They want a nice timber floor Oak . jatoba. pine. Maple etc

Bit of a browning fan myself. I have looked at these and even considered one. Ball park figure of around £400 more expensive than a traditional 525 .
My conclusion is simple ... they are extracting the urine
Spot on. Was trying to be diplomatic haha. I've a John Mcnab with nice wood and not a young gun but still very good with no splits or shakes made by B Rizinni decades ago

Weight soaks up recoil, but apart from weight or aesthetics it’s simply down to what a person prefers.
Nice wood is fine if that’s what you want, but a highly figured grain is more prone to cracks, and that just won’t happen with a modern laminate.
It is extremely stable in every meaning of the word, which is why it has a major role to play in structural building design, and if a finish wears then it’s pretty straightforward to replace.
If someone dislikes it because of it’s appearance then that’s fair enough, but the integrity of the materials used in their construction simply cannot be knocked.I work in the costruction industry and know all about laminates and computerised design of phink joists that cannot be interfered with or altered. All designed to the bare bone and cost more than a good old 9x2 structural stress graded timber joist that can be worked on
Anyway i would rather carry 3 kg all day on walked up days than 3.5kg. all depends on the type of shooting, But as of the op This is a game gun Not a clay dtl gun

It started with varmint rifles, and is moving over, not heard of any laminate stocks breaking down, and certainly appear to be more moisture stable (at least that is reason given for rifle use).
Yes i can agree with that But this is accuracy for a bullet as timber alters in temperatures But for shotguns makes no difference. I have walnut on 3 rifles and work well for me.and drop rabbits at 100yrds with my .22 lr. But rifles are not sold on good looks They brought out plastic stocks on rifles and some of them were a dissaster with too much movement

Well if you can shoot it well I doubt anyone will take the mick!
I had two Brownings a 12g hunter and 16g white lightening and could'nt get on with them.Then got a CG . Now my cabinet is full of Italian shotguns. Sold the Brownings The 525 Hunter was the biggest loss i've had on a gun. Yet it had some nice wood. I would hate to think what the loss would be on a 2k gun with plywood bolted on it. One can buy a far better looking gun with nice wood And as everyone seems to agree that it's the wood that makes the gun and sells it . Here's one that cost less

I still think it.s Russia that did it. They were cutting the flow and even stopping it. They are under obligation to honour their contracts. But in the event of act of god OR war The contracts are null and void. So it benefits Russia. And the EU was weening off Russias fosill fuels.. The truth will come out eventualy
