Paddy Galore! Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 why not on a game shoot? the gun can be broken just like a regular shotgun to show it's safe, is there a law that says you can't have three shots on a game bird? and i'd buy one if I had the spare cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 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 Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

drut Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 " And second hand value is only a consideration if you want to sell it the average stay in my cabinet is 20 years " Â A good point,if you enjoy it resale value is not worth a thought.Enjoy!

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 Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I handled OF'S at the charity shoot. Surprisingly quite light and the wood was pleasant to look at also That sounds wrong on SO many levels :lol: Â I like the look of the triple! But would require some convincing to buy one. Hope it works out for the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAsh Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited October 17, 2015 by ChrisAsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Think I will stick to a double barreled pump action . You never know , I might get invited to a shoot where they only allow double guns . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
