Evil Elvis Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The olympics in 8's are spot on mate, very clean hard hitting cart. There is a new cart on the market called the modena, they are made by eley for the french market, they are the same as an olympic except the plaswad is different...allegedley!! Theuy are only £133 per thousand so I bought a few to try(5000) and they are great, slightly more punchy than an eley first and very clean on your barrels and more importantly...they hit hard. DangerousDave was absolutely powdering clays with them at jj's last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL heard it all now i too have bought and used the "Modena" I have no idea where they come from, who makes them, or why there are some many rumours about them, "eley loaded in spain", "Eley for export markets", etc etc etc but they are nice carts and plenty cheap enough..... I can tell you the box has nothing to do with eley on it at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just used a thousand Modenas - Swillington sell them for £128. I have used Teague 3/8 in both barrels. These dust any clay, at any distance. Absolute bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treestalker Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have no idea where they come from, who makes them, or why there are some many rumours about them, "eley loaded in spain", "Eley for export markets", etc Aren't Eley now owned by Rio? I'd also heard that the UK production was going to be pretty limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 As a not very regular clay shooter, I only got round to trying the Olympics yesterday. I was using a mix of them and Superbs, and I agree the Olympics seem much more pleasant to shoot, I think I will be buying these in the future.
