  1. Yes. But they only have new guns in that model, so wont let me try one.
  2. It's called a RA Competition. From Malmo guns Lancs.
  3. It's a brand new gun, so shooting it is not an option.
  4. Hi, I've been looking at a new gun today. It ticks all the boxes in everything. But putting it up to my shoulder the assistant said that looking down the rib from the other end he thought my eye was a little high. Well from my point of view, yes i can see the top of the rib, but not a lot. I read somewhere that if you put a pound coin on the rib you should still be able to see the sight at the end of the rib. I'm sure the sight picture is about the same as other guns I've shot. This is a new gun and I don't know anyone in the clubs I use that shoot one I could try. It has an adjustable comb, and is set to the lowest position. So the question is, If a gun shoots too low, it can be adjusted with an adjustable comb, or at worst packing the top of the comb with something. What if it shoots high to start with, can it be corrected without taking some materiel off the top of the comb. The gun is for sporting clays, but I want to use it for Skeet and possibly DTL. My previous shot guns, when put on a pattern plate have shot 50/50 or 60/40. I don't mind them shooting a little high but if it is going to shoot a couple of feet over everything this could be a very expensive mistake. Thanks for any advice you can give, Howard.
  5. Hi, I'm new to the forum, and getting back in to clay shooting after a 20 year gap. Awaiting my licence, 6 months for Lancashire. I'm looking at a jack of all trades, sort of gun. Malmo guns are quite near me and have a RA Competition, but I don't know anything about them. But it looks like you get a lot of gun for your buck. http://www.malmoguns.com/gun-listings/?fwp_type=shotgun&fwp_orientation=right-handed&fwp_mechanism=over-and-under&fwp_paged=7 It looks like a trap gun, but is listed as a sport. I have read a review in a magazine and it gave a similar gun by the same manufacture, a good review. I used to shoot a Beretta, and this RA feels very similar when put up to the shoulder. I can't shoot it because the guns are new, and I don't know anyone who has one. Do I take the risk of a unknown new gun, or a second hand well used Beretta? Any advice welcome.
