  3. Stock Adjustments

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    Just looking for some info for a mate of mine. He's got a Caesar Guerini Apex that the stock's a bit too low for him. Has anyone any recommendations of someone in or near South Yorkshire who can alter his stock to an adjustable one. Thanks

  6. Poor Service from Bushwear

    I ordered from them on the understanding that as it was my first purchase I would get free delivery. When I placed the order delivery charges had been added. I emailed them to complain but although I kept getting emails from them, no mention was made about delivery charges. They basically ignored me. I'll never use them again, it's not the money, it's just the lack of service.

    no problem Bruno, just took one box out to check and the reloader has written on the box " 16grains, green flake,plastic wad, 1oz, 6 shot , green shells factory new" so it seems like he knew what he was doing.

    I've shot some of them with no problem. The boxes are marked up as to what's in them. I thought a lot of shooters reload their own cartridges.

    I've got about a slab of reloaded cartridges, (not reloaded by me). I was given them but now sold my 16bore so you can have them for free. I'm near junction 1 on the M18,( junction 31 on the M1.

    I read a review of the 16 bore Artemis quoting it as 7 lbs 12oz.

    However,the 16 bore Artemis light with an allow action is quoted as 6 lbs 8 oz.

    First of all, many thanks for all the replies.As regards weight, every site I go on quote different weights for the same guns, same barrel lengths etc. so I suppose the only way is to physically pick one up and try one.

    I think I've given some people the wrong impression. My 12 bore is a caesar guerini Apex and my 20 a caesar guerini Tempio. Both seem to fit me, I love them both and I'm averaging about 70% with both guns. I've never been game shooting in any form but would never rule it out but I'd like to be proficient before attempting it. I try to keep using both guns, maybe 4 weeks with one and then change over. When I change over my score initially drop before coming back up again as I get use to the gun again. I just wondered if a 16 bore  would replace both guns and be a good allrounder for both clays and game.

    I've been shooting about 18 months, (clay pigeons only). I've got 2 guns, a 12 and a 20 bore. I usually alternate between the two and find it takes bit of time to acclimatise when changing from one to another. I've been thinking recently about using one gun only and wondered about a 16 bore to replace the 12 and 20. I know cartridges are more expensive but I only shoot about once a week so I don't think that would be a problem. I'd appreciate members thoughts about this and any recommendations. Thanks

  22. Wet shave.

    Astra blades for me, last for ages with a Rockwell 6s razor. It's stainless steel with 3 double sided plates numbered 1 to 6. Once you find the right setting for your beard type,( 1 is the mildest ) it's brilliant, smooth as silk. It's not cheap but they also do a chrome version (6c), which is about half the price but just as smooth.Start with the lowest number and work up till you find your comfort zone.

    I still have all my  darkroom  equipment  in the loft , cost me  a fortune . No one wants it now. I have seen cameras like Bronicas and Hasselblad  selling for peanut. 

    Film's on its way back just like vinyl. Some quality film cameras are now selling for the same if not more than their equivalent price when they were new. There are still some bargains to be had but be careful of condition if you're thinking of buying.
