Absolute classic, lucky chap. Enjoy it! I picked mine up from a local valuation day they add £10 to the bill ,but still cheaper than an rfd transfer . l always check if there is a valuation day near to me and not to far away date wise ,they have always been very accommodating and helpful.

Lovely looking gun im hoping that the 410 wads will become available before any legislation comes into force any game shooting this season that requires non lead will have to be shot with the wildfowling gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningDJC Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Just started using my fathers Victor Saraqueta, 6EC I believe. Also have a 70’s Webley 700. Really fancy a 16 bore in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_n_Roll_Outlaw Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Hello all, having recently used a side by side for the first time ever, and quite enjoyed it, I decided to buy one. I wanted a more "modern" one with a single trigger and ejectors like the one I had a go with, which was a Winchester Model 23. So today I picked this up. It is an AYA Matador II and it cost me £120. I don't know enough about side by sides to know if this was a good deal or not, but the bores are immaculate and the action tight and both of the ejectors work. It has 2 3/4 chambers and 28 inch barrels choked at half and full. The wood is a bit tatty and I plan to strip the finish off (I think it's varnish) and refinish it properly as a bit of a project.

If I use mine on a shoot day I lug it round in a slip between drives. It certainly kills well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
