Dont get too excited, just a handfull with my new little SxS

[Guest stevo]

evening all .

 

as per title , please dont get too excited haha , the missus informed me we are having a BBQ at the weekend and it would be good if i could go and bag a few woodies so she can leave them in some sticky BBQ sauce to marinade , so I thought it would be a perfect chance to have a go with a little Lincoln side by side I bought a couple of weeks ago .

I only paid £140.00 for it , it was a bit beaten up but I liked the wood on it so I stripped it back , oil finished it , re-blued the barrels and gave it a good service . anyway I only wanted a hand full of pigeon so had a very basic set up , just magnet and 2 dead birds and had 45 mins , shot 12 in total but lost two in the rough to the side of me , not shot a SxS since I was a kid , really nice to have a go tonight and looking forward to a proper go in the coming days

its a Lincoln 12g SxS with double triggers choked at 3/4 and full . carts where 21 grm 7.5

Got to love the side by sides, decent shooting there and good restraint on the crow i am sure i would have gone for that and highly probable id have missed it too.

Great shooting. Like seeing a side by side in capable hands. You may realise your 692 barrels are the wrong way round! Ha

[aga man]

Fair play stevo, you can shoot any shotgun well.

 

Nice to see a sxs in the hide, just like the old days!

I don't know what it is but It seems to feel proper decoying with a SxS , I wont go so far as to say its better , but it does leave you with a bigger smile .

Cracking video and your pretty handy with the s X s as others have said nice to see one in use.

thank you mate , I'm hoping to get a proper go over the next few days , so it was nice to get a little practice session with it .

[kippylawkid]

Tidy shooting and a tidy gun. I can see how the wood caught your eye. Bargain!

[Cranfield]

There is no doubt side by sides are a lot of fun, I enjoy mine and give it an outing as often as possible.

Some good shooting as usual and some fine fare for the barbecue , what net are you using ?

thanks cranfield ,

you know what , I have no idea what net it is , I got it from the states yrs ago ( about 15 yrs ) its just a handy light net I keep in the van for those emergency decoying sessions

[Whitebridges]

Nice film stevo . Looks a cracking gun.

[motty]

Nice little video. I got rid of my side by sides. I may get another, one day.

I like those old Realtree nets. Shame they are not easy to get hold of these days.

My latest video is in the early stages of production. Just narrowed the footage down to about 70 clips. Will be ready by the weekend.

[Worzel-gummidge]

Nice bit of shooting there.

I've got an old Zabala sxs that I use in the hide, excellent fun.

[Wilksy II]

That's decided it! Aya yeoman is coming out next time I go ,can't say i'll be as proficient with it but I do enjoy shooting it! Great video cheers stevo!

[Guest stevo]

Cheers lads. Yeah I can't wait to get out again with it. Been thinking of getting another one for too long. Should have done it ages ago.

[Smokersmith]

Good work !!

 

I've just picked up an old Army & Navy boxlock original sold to Captain Withers RN in 1922.

 

30" barrels, with quite some case hardening left, and with a bit of tlc she will be my 1st choice when it comes to the game season.

 

I'll strap on the GoPro and you can see how I get on later in the season!!

[Toqs]

Nice shooting, great work.

[Terry2016]

Well that,s torn it out comes the sweet little 16 hammer SxS just for the smile factor.

[kenholland]

that gun is worth £ 280 now, you will do well at the clay ground.

Lovely video steveo and nice to see someone else enjoying a s x s , I have used a s x s all my shooting life which is now over 50 years , my present gun is a B S A 28" ej that I bought at auction in nigh on new condition for £200 , that ole gun don't owe me a penny as I have fired between 35 and 40 thousand shells through it with only having to replace the top lever spring , if any of you chaps are thinking about buying one , do it now as there are a lot of bargains out there .
