roadkill Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 not sure now if I have bought myself the right gun when I was in the shop I told him I wanted a gun for clays and for rough shooting so we tried quite a few different guns out .. the one that felt the best was the 686e nice and light and a good overall feel to it .. when I showed my mate a pic of it he recons its to big of a gun for rough shooting and only good for clays so is he right who on here has used a 686e for rough shooting and how did you get on with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Your mate is winding you up. Most people reckon a field gun should be 28" and the purests say fixed choke. But if it is light enough to be lugged round a field, will take a heavy load (as may or may not be required) and you shoot well with it, then it's fine. I have shot my 32" Blazer on a driven day and that's that - oh yes I can here the tutting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Mungler's right...doesn't matter what you shoot with (spud gun even!! ) so long as your comfortable and you shoot/kill well with it. All my guns have a minimum of 30" barrels, and I prodominatly carry out rough shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 you'll be fine I've used a 686 with 32" barrels on game for years. I shoot well with it on clays so why use anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby t Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 he may mean in terms of sporter or field gun, the 686e sporter will be heaavier than the field equivalent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
