  1. Thank you gents.

    I am pleased that I asked the question, I haven’t been to the shop in question for quite sometime, they often had guns on the shelves for sale on behalf of a customers. Possibly a customer has set an unrealistic price.

    I’ll give it a wide birth but look at the AYA No 2, some years ago I had a XXV, which I liked.

  2. Can anyone identify what model this is from the image please and if so perhaps you could give your views.

    Its advertised in a shop not too far from me as No 2 of a pair (via gun trader).

    I do miss not having a sxs  and as I am on leave this week, may go and take a look.

    Thank you.

  3. I have too many. I am a size 7 or 57 and these are a good fit.

    Joules Baker Boy type and a Houndstooth 70% lambs wool 30% cashmere mix. Both have had minimal use.

    Q

    £20, each posted or £30 for the two. Bank transfer if interested please.

    Thank you.

  4. I’ve been thinking of buying what will probably be my last gun due to my age.

    I find it all a bit of a minefield what with different types of steel and nothing tighter than half choke.

    What about the tighter choked game guns and the fashionable high pheasant guns, which aren’t cheap.

    Having said that maybe if you own expensive guns and shoot game on a regular basis, the lead alternatives

    wouldn’t bother you too much.

     I have been looking at a Browning 325, to do a little bit of everything with. I am guessing there is a suitable type of steel cartridge that would be safe to use through open chokes.

    And let me guess. Like many of us, you didn’t use any ear defenders when shooting in your younger days.

    I attend hospital every month for eye injections for a macula edema plus more appointments for the wife and still find time to go shooting at least once a week, but admit, like many on here, to being in my 70s.

    Good luck with the hearing aids Dave. They’ve certainly changed my life. I can now engage in conversations in crowded places whereas previously I felt totally isolated not being able to pick up individual speech.

    I AM GUILTY OF NOT USING EAR DEFENDERS.

  6. North and North Again.

    The Sporting Terrier, softcover. Good tight copy £15.

  7. Just started my old boy (14) on the above. 

    I was told sometime back he had a heart murmur but it didn’t seem to bother him.

    More recently he developed a cough which was at it’s worst in a morning. The medication has just about stopped the coughing altogether.

    The best price I have found is £38, for 28, 5mg tablets plus £16, for a vets prescription. If I had purchased from the vet an eye-watering £133. 
    Has anyone had any experience with this particular medication and have they found a better price.

    Thanks,

    Phil.
