Fatcatsplat Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'd get the one that goes nicest with your outfit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I'd get the one that goes nicest with your outfit! So you'd either look like a SAS soldier,a tree or a plank of wood! I just went for elcheapo black.Its only a pigeon gun so provided its not pink-i couldnt care less.

Spaniel Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I got the camo one 3" chambers and never had any probs I did look at the black synthetic ones the other day while down in exeter and to be honest i was tempted at the time I just think the camo still got some shine to it which could make a difference ....think it was priced around £290 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaserF3 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I am sure that if you buy one with a 3" chamber that you will have less problems than the 31/2" version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 All black would be better out on the field, the silver will frighten all the pigeons and crows away on sunny days because it reflects sunlight a bit like a mirror. When you say your going out to buy yourself a gun I hope you mean your dad is, because your too young at 15 to by a gun or cartridges. However you can be given one as a gift, lent one and be given cartridges. You can also shoot without supervision. Just remember you may have THREE cartridges in the gun so think safety first. But get out there and have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
