Jesse James Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Hi Mate. I have one mate for when noise needs to be kept low, love the tool if I'm honest but its of course nose heavy and long. The only issue I have had is with 3 inch Eley's it shoots great but when ejecting them it pulls the brass of the plastic and this sticks in the chamber, having to pry it out. So ends up being a single shot. Its perfect on any other size cartridges. its not as quiet of course as a fully mod version but great around barns etc. Have had no other issues than above mate with mine and had it some time now. of course cost of cartridges can be pricey.

luckytrigger Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I really rated mine i bought it for ratting expensive i know but it was awesome. It cycled 3" carts fine but didnt always cycle the little fiochi carts i occasionally used. Just to add it was also very effective on rabbits at night. I just adapted my old mini pro lamp to fit under the barrel which although looked ungainly did the job a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Handy tool cycles every cart I put through it including eley 3" mine needed a 15 mm comb raiser to shoot flat though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Love mine You do have to be a bit positive when cycling the 3" shells, and as said, it is a bit nose heavy, but a great tool, especially over rape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkbait Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I am looking for shotgun that is light for field work. Are there any problems that i should know about with the gun ? agree with that my mates got one and he too has had the brass pulled off with the eley 3" , we usually go out on the quad around the edge of the fields me with the rimmy on the back and him driving with the 410 on the front, if they try to bolt back to the hedge he cuts them off with the quad then takes them out with the 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
