Triple Barrel 12 G


Lucky Shot 1958

Recommended Posts

I struggle to see the purpose of one, you won't be flavour of the month on a game shoot, can't use it on clays, three barrels are bound to be heavier than two so defeats the object in terms of a rough shooting gun, the gape would make it less easy to load than a SS inside a hide, second hand values/demand are bound to be tricky, you can have 3 shots in a semi in any case, etc, etc.

 

It should be a fun conversation piece though so well done anyway.

3inch magnum proof for steel

3 chokes

No empties all over the place

Gape the same as my side by side

Handles and shoots /patterns surprisingly well

Weight soaks up the recoil better than ss on clays 73/100 last time at clay ground obviously only loaded 2 barrels

Easier to check its unloaded

And second hand value is only a consideration if you want to sell it the average stay in my cabinet is 20 years 😋

£1500 at 1/2% interest for 20 years = about £20

So £75 a year for occasional fun

cheap in my opinion

Just my thought

All the best

What have you had In your cabinet for around 19 years 10 months.

Christmas is coming and The Good Lady is struggling again with what to get me :lol:

A beretta el gold 20 bore 😋

Almost the pair to hers the good lady's straight hand stock and longer barrels

I preferred it 😋😋

I think there's a El gold 12 in there as well 😚

To be fair I could prolly do even better if forced to come up with some positives but most of the above are stretching the imagination a tad. I can't think of a single thing it does BETTER than other conventional guns out there, but a few that it defo doesn't.

 

For example although handling is pretty subjective it's hard to imagine it being better than a racy OU - 3 chokes ? and how quickly can you react and compute which barrel you need assuming it has a selector - I thought everything was 3" steel proof nowadays. I'd love to see one patterned properly next to a semi & OU to see how well regulated they are for consistent POI, hard to do at that money I'd have thought but could be wrong.

With respect I was trying to be positive for the op as he's had a bit of a wait

And obviously my comments are based on owning and shooting one not speculation 😋

If your my way your welcome to have a go pattern test and check point of aim or I be happy to bring it to the next charity shoot for you to have a go

Did I mention there great fun 😂😂😂😂😂

Priceless

I hope the op enjoys his when it gets here as much as I enjoy mine

All the best

It looks great fun, and I would love to have a go,

I imagine its designed for pigeon shooting and could be excellent at it, but one thing for clays the video states all barrels are fired in turn which could be a problem only using two barrels for choke selection on sporting meaning choke chane between stands, but nothing to hard
