You are right to an extent Chris, otherwise if he intended us to use an O/U, surely he would have created us with one eye above the other However, if you're a lover of the 16 gauge, you'll like and use them in any configuration.

Plus it should have the correct sized action not grafted on a 12 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was mentioned when I put the deposit down yesterday and have not seen anything online either Having looked into it It looks like it ended end of Jan but it was still coming up on adds more recently You fill in a form once you purchase the gun and send it off or the gundealer does it for you Still worth enquiring Good luck S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post further down under 16g Eley VIP Game. OB Edited August 28, 2018 by Old Boggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
