shalfordninja33 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Very, very Nice, I have a 16 bore Leech & Son which I inherited earlier in the year. Its been in my family for 3 generations and I feel very privileged to have had it passed onto me. I used it a number of times growing up but hadn't shot it for about 20 years until last season. It opened my eyes somewhat and makes my O/U 30" Beretta feel very agricultural by comparison. A lightweight sxs just feels 'right' IMO. I use Eley 26.5gm no6 through it and its much more capable than me. It makes me want to change my 12 O/U for a 20 O/U and half the weight I carry around with the 12.

demonwolf444 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hull imperial game. I'm well convinced they are the best available cartridge for anyone shooting a vintage english gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalfordninja33 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hull imperial game. I'm well convinced they are the best available cartridge for anyone shooting a vintage english gun. Only available in 12g. Hull make High Pheasant in 16g, the 12 bore version is my cartridge of choice and I may try some in 16g this season.

CaptainBeaky Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hideous! Ugliest thing I ever saw. Purely as a public service, send it to me and I will err... safely dispose of it for you No charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Lovely gun in the perfect gauge. Once you own a 16, you'll never want to lug a 12 around all day ever again. You'll enjoy owning and shooting it. I have shot 16s now for more years than I care to remember. Good shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Very nice, I use my old knock about 16 more and more and always looking for a nicer example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shalfordninja33 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 what is cartridge prices like for a 16 compared to 12 or even 20 bore? Looking at Just cartridges Hull less than a pound a box difference between all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
