mossberg-operator Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just got one. It is just like a third arm for me, feels good, feels natural. Got gun fitting problems due to short length of pull, tried 80+ shotguns in the shop last week and this was the one. Had to buy a O/U or SBS for the syndicate shoot. I know it is a skeet gun. Short, 26" barrels (suits me). Opinions on this gun, guys? Good or bad. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbruk Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 If it fits you and you can shoot things with it, then it's good, surely? You've bought it now, so enjoy it. If it doesn't work out sell it. Simples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 When you find something that fits, works and suits your requirements, that's all you need. so long as you hit the thing you're aiming at, then it's a win. Also, Miroku... Japanese for magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecash Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Miroku - build quality second to none - as long as it fits and is in good order - you cant go wrong - apart from that just keep it clean - and if it doesn't break, dont fix it - might have to change the firing pins every 250,000 to 500,000 shells or so, but only if it plays up. Nothing to touch them for the price and when you come to sell it, provided you haven't allowed yourself to be ripped off and looked after it you will at least get your money back.

kenholland Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 bought my 800 hsw 26 inch skeet gun in 1973 never had a service never let me down what more can I say, apart from the lad's at clay shoots asking if I want to sell it. I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 What's that I hear , a 26 inch gun that you can actually hit something with .Do you realise that this goes against all the "expert " opinion that it is impossible to even hit a barn door with anything less than 32 inch barrels with at least 2 sets of extension chokes ? I am of course having a laugh but it dose show how some people are easily led by trends . Nothing wrong with short barrels . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzbangwhallop Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I inherited my dad's one with the narrow rib and its bored cylinder/improved. He originally bought it as a knockabout, don't mind if it gets wet gun and it throws really nice patterns. Quick and instinctive on the handling for me and mustard on the little bumblebee mini clays. The only thing that's ever gone wrong was the top lever spring a couple of years ago but Ladbroke and Langton's sorted that. Won't be selling mine any time soon.

Westley Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Top lever spring, around 6 quid. If you are capable of taking the stock off, then you can change the top lever spring. You may be interested to know that 'P' guns have an offer on their gunslips at present. They even have a zipped side pocket for .....................wait for it..........................SPARES !
