hawkfanz Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 howdy dont own one but a mate joined us in the pigeon hide a few weeks ago with one,hardly any noise was really surprised at how many he knocked down he did really well useing 3in mind,got me thinkin the 20g would be even better at woodies, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't be without mine. Realise the limitations of the calibre, stick to a 25 yard kill zone and you will drop them every time. The 20g is WAY to big and cumbersome. I prefered the synthetic as the wood just seems tacky and cheap looking. Edited December 12, 2012 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trxnav Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Just picked up a wooden stock model mate for rabbits only used it a handful of times but love it took a bit of getting used to though for the aiming part keep saying I am gonna take it in a pigeon hide but haven't as yet thumbs up from me mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarpa Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I love mine. Would prefer a synthetic but may just stain the wood to make it darker. It's great on the bunnies and very light to carry with you on a long walk. I stuck a slightly stretchy sling on mine and bulked up the bottom of the mag tube with tape so that I can clip on a lamp.

stubby Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 if it's a full hushpower, then they recommend fibre wads only, have heard of people using plastic wads, but then you need to check the barrel after each shot, in case plastic has caught on the holes in barrel, and if your doing that, having the three shot is pointless, you may as well have a single shot one so cartridge wise your then limited to those that use fibre wads, eley is the only one I have found so far, all other seem to use plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 My Hushpower 20gauge porting shreds the plastic wads like a cheese grater would if you use them and they look quite beaten up when you retrieve one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim c Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Round of clays tomorrow and want first blood with it at week end too on some rabbits :-). Can't see it being to hard to fix lamp to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim c Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just for back from clays. Nice comfy gun to use. SO different to my 12 bores obviously. Girl friend liked it to. Only problem I found is it some times wouldn't eject first cartridge but putting that down to it being brand new so needs to loosen up bit and strip it and give it a damn good clean.
