AYA117

If we are lucky and it is only a guess, maybe the legal advice was that the current legislation would not stand up to scrutiny in court, so better to have something that was beyond contestation

Membership fees are to cover expenses, wages, going to shows and telling us how good they are for ' our ' sport. Thought that was common knowledge

Interesting if you like AYAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehXemjkWpvs

They were a very good cartridge and like the rest of the Winchester range very much missed in the UK.

I think it was Eley and they had put 7 shot in a case that professed to be 5, but it was a long time ago.

Some 'marketing gimmick' if you do no believe they work but will pattern well. The whole point of Patternmaster ( not including the turkey tubes ) is that technically they are not a choke as there is no constriction, it is simply a parallel tube with 5 lugs to arrest the wads progress through the tube the length of tube after the lugs changes the degree of ' choke '. So you can shoot steel through it and achieve a pattern that is up to extra full, way past the recommended half only. That is like inventing the wheel in shooting terms!

Does anyone know where I can find a Patternmaster Classic Miid Range tube to fit a Benelli Super Nova? All I can find is the Code Black online in the UK

Go old school and get 7x57, got a Ruger No 1 in this calibre and works well on all deer and fox. As above the .243 hardly ever goes out.

Thank you again for the replies, I have just ordered a Benelli Super Nova in Max4

Thank you for the replies. Still not sure which way to go. I like the fact that the Mossberg has the safety in the ' normal ' place, but the Benelli seems to be better made. Toss a coin I guess.

Thanks for the reply, We have been asked to shoot a lot of geese this winter and my stock of 3" Tungsten is getting low and do not fancy 3" steel through my AYA No.2. The long arm thing is a bonus for me as I shoot a 15 1/2" stock.

As above, thoughts from those that own or have owned would be much appreciated.

A 1967 Series 11A 88" diesel

I use mostly full bodied flocked decoys from A1 plus a dozen shells also flocked, I am lucky enough that I can get the truck to where I want to shoot so put 70+ decoys with a rotary with extended arms and speed controller with two Sillosocks. Now that does pull them !

With you on that one, think it is called 'field testing'

I find Hull Pro one very good, but then I rarely shoot clays.

Spot on it is a No2, I have a 117 with hand detachable locks.

Has anyone tried these for ducks over decoys?

Welcome to the club, but we do need to see pictures of your 'proper' gun.

If they are covered by the wildfowl legislation ( pretty sure they are ) then you can shoot them in England any time you like, as you have a licence.

On the box it says. HIGH PERFORMANCE CARTRIDGES Use only in guns with proof test at 1320 bar And on the cartridge it says MAX 1050 bar

Well said sir.

Interesting, had not heard that. I was working on info. from my renewal 12 months ago.

Dorset, Devon and Cornwall have joined as one police force, and it has not been going well on the firearms dept. side.
