Gun Watch Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 Field. £1,150 12 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Mint Condition Denbigh, Denbighshire Over and Under, Multi Choke, Multi Choke, 28" barrels Description This Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 was purchased new 10 months ago and has only been used the once, having fired about a dozen cartridges. It is in absolute mint condition in its blue box with chokes, key and paperwork. Reason for sale is due to me being diagnosed with deafness, and severe tinitus in both ears, resulting in me having to purchase a 28 bore for all my shooting. I purchased the gun for £1450 and a great saving is to be had on my asking price. Collection preferred with your shotgun certificate. This gun is being sold by Pigeon Watch member Browning123.

browning123 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Why don't you up some ear defenders? I have tried top of the range external and internal digital ear defenders, but I am plagued with severe tinitus, deafness and headaches. I have been advised by Specialists to stop shooting. As I have been shooting for over fifty years life would hardly be worth living without my shooting, so I have decided to sell my 12 gauge shotguns and purchase a 28 bore to try before any final decisions are made.

gazbev Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm 42 and I've got deafness and severe tinnitus and still use a 12 g. I will look into this because I have some electronic type ones and thought they were protecting my ears. Good luck with the sale I have the very same gun and love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into this because I have some electronic type ones and thought they were protecting my ears. Good luck with the sale I have the very same gun and love it I also have Meniers disease but was told by the Specialists that its the shotgun muzzle blast that aggregates the condition - hence me reverting to a 28 bore to reduce the barrel blast.

welshwarrior Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm 33 and suffer from serve tinnitus after Iraq. A 28 bore does help with the reduced blast and for me the lighter weight helped me while I was learning to balance again. I can though shoot a 12 bore with plugs and muff on.
