samboy Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I've had my one a few months now and its been ok But i've only put 32gr and 50gr carts through it. It seemed a bit short on the stock so i had to put the spacer on. Overall i am pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My mates had one a few months and it won't cycle 28g comp x but is fine with 27g super fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbank Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Had mine since December 2011, 5,000+ shells through it by now. Like samboy, can confirm it is very happy with 32 and 50 gm loads. Also use it extensively for clays, with use it has become increasingly forgiving of softer loads. As an experiment, recently tried a few Hull Chrevron low recoil 28's. 1 out of 10 hung up, rest ejected but with the same energy and enthusiasm I exhibit before my first cup of coffee in the morning. No problems now with any 'standard' clay loads including Hull Comp X's, would have doubts about a 21 gm load though. If the Outlander follows the same path as my 19 year old AL390, it should get better and better with use. Would however recommend getting a spare connecting rod for long-term heavy use. BIFFYBOY, should you buy an Outlander, I am fairly confident you will be happy with it. Edited June 22, 2013 by Sandbank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My mates had one a few months and it won't cycle 28g comp x but is fine with 27g super fast not many auto's like comp X in any floavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My Outlander cycles 28gm cartridges OK and has not missed a beat in 16 months and about 9000 cartridges shooting clays. Good value for money and if you have got a wood version the wood responds well to oil treatment. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My A400 explor light doesn't have any issues cycling them. So much so I acquired a few boxes off my mate with the A300 . It may be my mates gun requires abit more running in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk Ern Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Had my A300 since beginning of May. It is superb. I ran it in with 32gr gamebore clear pigeon and so far no problems. Handles well, nicely built, low recoil and now I've got used to it, I'm getting a better shot to kill ratio than my old gun. Get one, you won't regret it.

Norfolk Ern Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Mine had a very small amount of play there too. I have regularly oiled it since getting it in May and its now a snug fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggum Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Don't think so as I believe the tube is crimped. I suppose you could get a new mag tube though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
