yickdaz Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) me and me dad clubbed together to buy a maxus last monday we have been on about getting a semi auto for years but never did;finally got round to doing it;its a used gun but previous owner only had it a week not fired 200 shells through it. anyhow gun is good as new we took it to the clay ground on wednesday to try out and we both got in to the gun and liked it very much i have never used a auto before and i shot it very well concidering. but what we really wanted to do was shoot a few woodies with it;so we went for look yesterday the weather was **** for it really;but the rain held off in the afternoon long enough for a couple of hours shooting; as soon as it stopped birds started to flight from a large wood out to the stubbles so set up on the field they wanted;shot 4 and they started to flight further away in front so moved to that spot and it helped had a nice 1 1/2 hrs shooting i had 3 right and lefts one after another;the third one was very unusual with a jay and a pigeon not a big bag but we just wanted to dirty the barrel on a few to get a feel for the gun on the live stuff 27 and a jay.

Cosd Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Lovely gun and nice shooting. I wouldn't place the gun on the pigeons for the photo though, blood from the pigeons damages the bluing on the barrel if not wiped off well!!

Dave66 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Daz, it Sounds like my dads, if it was he only put a dozen carts through it, tried it at kelbrook but couldnt swing/mount it. No fault of the gun, just had two major ops (Quad by-pass & aortic aneurysm) I think he was trying to get back shooting too soon. It had real nice wood on it, I fancied it instead of my Raptor, but he had already arranged with Lawrence to take it back, now he has another 525 sat in the cabinet unused. Dad's eh, who would have them ! Good luck with it Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jays If you're going to quote the general license. That means that all the people on here shooting pigeons are breaking the law unless they can prove that all means to scare them off has been used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I love my gold hunter and have owned brwoning slivers before that, I liked the maxxus but didnt like the fore end on the synthetic, it seemed a little too loose and very light plastic, didnt seem up to the abuse it would get from me, and while your gun looks superb in wood, i wouldnt buy a wooden rough / pigeon gun....all mine are synthetic, you then dont have to worry about them in the wet(as much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
