  1. John norris online. he is doing a seeland jacket cheap at mo. not tweed though.
  2. I really like the F black for clays, will second that.
  3. 20 Gauge = pigeons. Eley High Flyers 6 shot 28g. Cheapish and OK kill well. Pheasants and partridge. = Eley VIP 5 & 6 shot 28g expensive OK kill better at distance. 12 Gauge = pigeons. RC Romagnola 32g 6 shot. OK kill well. Pheasants and Partridge = RC SIPE 32g 5 & 6 shot (Great) or Hull High Pheasant Extreme. expensive not as good as the SIPE but i like them so if i can't find RC. As Above used to use Gamebore Clear pigeon for both years ago, for years and years in 12 bore. Don't like since changed. Ducks = Eley Evo 3 Bismuth 32g 4 shot ( Rubbish) or Gamebore IMT ****--g expensive (Rubbish to )
  4. JC holds a lot of stock, you can usually find something that fits the bill there, not the cheapest around though.
  5. Eley High Flyers cheap and OK nocks out pigeons if you shoot them in the right place Just fine. I have not shot the Rio's yet. My favorite is RC Sipe.
  6. I have shot a lot of Eley Blues they seem to be OK for practice. I have not used cheddite.
  7. It Pays to shop around if you have the time.
  8. I also own one of these in 32" barrel format. Weighs 7lb 3oz . semi pistol stock (pow). Would prefer it if they made a Sporter version like they distribute in the USA but without porting the barrels and 32", but we do not have it here yet and who knows as Browning UK customer service is the worst ever. The action is far better built and sturdier than the Caesar Geurini Essex Sporter 32" that i used to own with great customer service i might add. The Caesar Geurini out classed this Browning 725 for shooting either game or clays and in looks in MOP, but it does costs a little more. Also the Browning stock semi pistol (pow) has a strange angular setting with the stock shooting the gun flat when it is away from the face cheek,which makes it impossible to mount the gun the same place every time (idiots). It gives the old English game gun sight picture which does not work. I shoot 38mm and 58mm drop @ the comb and heel. My 725 is 36mm and 56mm and its still low and away from my face,so must be the angle of the stock design. This is a big issue for me, i could put something over the comb to build up to my cheek piece or have it quenched in oil and pulled up which i would rather not do, or fit a center bead to find a sit picture, em not really very good . I would prefer if mine weighed 7lb 6oz like commented above. Alot of the gunmakers like to keep to scale when building their small gauges and keep them light like little whips and they don't shoot very well at all and are unusable. As a X international shooter i know what works and what does not, a lot of young and middle age men use 20 bore's,these days. For women well it could be a different thing, which happen to like the 20 bore as they are light and don't recoil to badly and not to heavy for them to maneuver.( Maybe build a male and female version. (Just Joking ) A sporter version 32" is required in the UK asap in MOP. I do think though the engraving on this 725 is a bit poor and to be so similar on both sides of the action gives it a strange look and not very well thought out. The Beretta Silver Pigeon Deluxe 32" o/u 20 bore has a better stock design and engraving by far, but its only weighs about 6lb 5oz which is not of any use to me which is unfortunate as it does look a lot better in my view and is more expensive which is a shame. Back to the drawing board ? with both of them. ( THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION ) Though talking to a lots of good shots AA class,and all shooting my 20 bore we all seem to agree. On the pattern plate. @ 15 yards point of impact was the strangest thing ever. when the stock was at the cheek it shot higher (how) when the stock was lower away from my cheek it shot perfect. this deifies the law of physics. (How) If the back of the stock comes up higher to the face cheek the barrels must go down @ the front thus shooting lower. this was not the case it shoots higher must be something to do with the stock angle at a guess or the angle cut to fit the reflex recoil pad. I would appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this for me. I have spoken to a couple of gunsmiths with no explanation as yet, to why. I just want it to shoot where i am looking 60/40 as it will help a great deal. Anyone else found this with theirs i would like to know. All the best to you PW members.
  9. A friend of mine gave me 100 Black Gold game shells on a pheasant shoot couple of years ago they were not the storm,s though. personally i did not like them very much, they seemed to kill alright with not to many birds escaping. Next time out i was glad to get back on shooting RC Sipe a lot better and cheaper in my opinion.
  10. I shot 500 of em this year. seemed alright over decoys, was not so impressed with them on flight lines and long stuff though. But shot some 28 gram supreme game by express and they were great but the price was not.
  11. Interesting topic. I have just purchased a 20 gauge two weeks ago. Last 20 bore i had was ten years ago shot Eley VIP then. I would like to find a 28gm 6 shot that suits me and the barrel. So i am doing a little testing in the next few months on pattern plate and pigeons and going to try different makes etc. I hear Fiocchi make a 28gm which i would like to try. Anyone shot them please give me, your opinion. Thanks.
