richg Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi there to you all out there. I know this is a long shot (excuse the pun) i am going on a driven partridge day next week and it is 410s only, I thought in my ignorance that it would be fairly easy to borrow a suitable gun, ie. o/u-sbs ejector. But having contacted all my local gun shops, no one has one, Can anyone help me?. I am an experienced game shot and in Lincolnshire, i am happy to pay a modest fee for the loan and can collect if not too far. It must be a proper sizes gun for an adult. If anyone would care to join us there are still two slots available, (thursday 24th September) it is a 120 bird driven day in Lincolnshire, all the usual hospitality. £300 plus keepers tip. The price is right and a rare opportunity to do something you may never have done before, ie. shoot driven game with a 410. I know the estate well, it is well run and we will get plenty of birds over us. If you can help or would care to join us, let me know. Richard Gray.

hoggysreels Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 You could have bought a secondhand SBS .410 for the modest price of a days shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphant59 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 MGR guns in Woodhall spa have got a sxs Spanish 410 on the shelf, saw it yesterday, didn't study it too closely but think it may be a sidelock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make next week though as I'm away with work but would be very interested in any more days run the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 RichG this would be a very good offer The only 410 I have is a W R Pape side by side hammer gun.And Gavin if your WR Pape is for sale I'd be very interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevew Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 RichG, Did you manage to get sorted with a .410?, I was in a similar position, booked on a .410 game day near York for 3rd October, couldn't borrow one so bought a new Webley & Scott. It's full size, multi-choke and shoots very nicely, I'm in Hull, PM if still required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
