townsend819 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Well, after having a clayshooting lesson on saturday, I realised that the stock on my Miroku Mk 38 was way too short, after having it for 2 years and not noticing that I have grown 6 inches and my arms are like a gorilla's, I went into the gunshop, and decided to upgrade, and saw a beretta ulrika I liked just traded in in immaculate condition. I went home to sleep on it, well I came back to referee on the same ground and went into the shop beforehand to put my deposit down and found that they had sold the gun in a matter of hours!! So when I finished refereeing (bleedin' cold...) I went back in to have another look round, and saw a Benelli Raffaello Crio for sale, went for a cup of tea for a think and went back in and put the deposit down. Its going to the gunsmith for a longer pad next week, but apart from that, I am properly chuffed!! Could never of said on friday that I would have a different shotgun and be a thousand pound lighter!! But needs must and if it doesnt fit it doesnt fit. Oh and before you ask, I had traded the Mk 38 in for a stonking price to help me along with the deal.

I was going to buy a Beretta but Matt from Doveridge talked me into a supersport and it's fab! Where was yours from mate as not too many shops stock them?

townsend819 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Erm, matt from Doveridge... he really is a cracking bloke who does a very good deal, bought all of my shotguns from there and he knows his stuff. He also sorted me out when I sold a remington on a forum and it needed RFD'ing to John March in Devon, I hadnt a clue and he just sorted it. Thoroughly recomended Will P.S. Will be shooting the benelli next week and cant wait, a nice step up from my old Mk 38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
