Wingman Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I suppose this is a nice dilemma to have but now my cabinet is full I am suffering a bout of indecisiveness over which gun to take out for a bit of walked up rough shooting on Sunday. I haven't been out for about 2 months due to work and house commitments so very much looking forward to it, family is out all day so I dont have the usual curfew to return for Sunday lunch and may even slip a pint or two in with my shooting partner afterwards (happy days!!!).... So I am torn between My Auto-5, Remington 1100 or Winchester Select Sporter... Kind of erring on the side of the Winchester as I have a load of 28.5 gram Eley Impax in 6 & 7 which the autos are a little hit and miss cycling, but I love shooting the Browning.. The Remmy is a bit of a risk as apart from firing a few rounds through it I haven't taken it out for a days shooting since I got it. I am planning to strip it down and replace the action spring and seals etc I would be well and truly hacked off if it is unreliable. It is however a lovely handling gun.... I can feel a period of reflection this evening over a glass of red whilst I ponder my decision! Edited August 12, 2016 by Wingman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi clakk, LOL, I dont think that I would get away with wine at my desk either... I may just stick the Winchester and the Browning in the car and use both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I like that idea, slight bit of doubt will add to the excitement.. Would take my trusty winchester as well though as a fallback in case the Remington has an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Wash your mouth out Remington 1100s do not have issues they have charecter. Funny that's exactly what I normally say about browning auto-5's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 In such a situation I would take the least reliable - if in view of anybody with any sense it always pays to be able to blame the gun for my appalling shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhantom Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Take the lightest if it is walked up shooting you are doing. I guess that is not the Winchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraivi Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Take Both, and use both.... you'll only wish you had the other when you miss first time on target! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 None of them are especially light but I need the exercise anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
