new gun seeing the rib opinions

[peter-peter]

after shooting a sporting gun for the last 3 years. ( i started shooting in 1948)and always used a game gun.

today I bought an s/h remmie 1100 s/a trap gun. 3/4 fixed choke. the first trap gun I have ever owned.

cheek on the comb I can see all the rib back to front plus figure of 8 beads.

please note while shooting I never look at the rib or beads. I only watch the clay. I dont see the rib when i am shooting

I took it to the new park lodge ground at west cowick.

I shot 23/25 dtl. 19/25 skeet (with a trap gun on 7 1/2 loads. 3/4 choke.

42/50 on sporting.

total hits 84/100 with a stiff breeze blowing and a strange gun. (minimum recoil I might add)

now the question is can one of the recent advisers tell me how I can get 100%.

am I doing it wrong.? :unsure:

well done peter not bad for first time with a new gun.i never was a fan of a trap gun,everybody told me i needed one so i bought a mint miroku 3800 it knocked my cheek bone each time i used it. always shoot a sporter of some description now and will never try a trap again.i like an all rounder. good luck

[Dunkield]

I am now hexpert, but I would say it is shooting high, hence the good DTL scores?

So it either needs the stock dropping, or you can extend the stock slightly to get the same effect.

I like the miroku,

I bought this remmie as I was getting poor scores with my gold mallard.

it was far too light for me.

this is working, well

Stuart, the am i doing it wrong bit was a joke. hence :unsure:

first time out with a strange gun, 84 ex 100, on 3 totally diferent disciplines.

the stock stays where it is.

thanks for your reply though

PS a little note stuart.

lengthening the stock on a trap gun doesnt make it shoot lower. the comb is parallel to the rib.

unlike a sporter who's stock slopes from comb to heel.

we'll make an expert out of you yet.

[Emmsy]

i have 1100 sporter stock if you want to swap :unsure:

 

i prefer shooting with a slightly high stock i can see more and im less likely to lift my head.

choke dont make much difference at skeet, ive shot more straights with 3/4 full than i have with 1/4 1/4

emmsy, it was a wind up for the self acclaimed experts.

I can hit skeet with full and full. :unsure:

No Pete, the stock slants from the comb to heel on a sporter! We,ll make an expert of (you) next!!.the slant from heel to toe is called pitch!!!.

I thought you WERE one of the self acclaimed experts Peter,

 

You always seem to shove your expertise on everyone.

 

Surely the stock slopes whichever way you need it to, to be able to shoot with it properly. There is little point a comb sloping towards the butt if you need it to slope the other way for the gun to fit.

whoops martin. i stand rebuked. the toe to heel bit was a missquote due to a surfiet of glenfidich

no I dont claim to be an expert.

the quotes I made where intended to reach the people, of of late who are missinforming others.and costing them money.

by saying a semi recoils more than an o/u.

a semi is heavier than an o/u

escorts are a superb gun.

you should not see any rib when you sight down the gun.

statements like this can only do harm to a novice shotgunner.

we all need help at sometime

I hope you will understand .

too much whisky when I wrote it BM you are of course quite correct.

Peter,

 

Not wishing to start an argument but it is only your opinion how much rib you should see, as I posted earlier the ammount of rib you see is irelevant it will vary between shooters and their individual technique and gun.

 

A semi could well be heavier than an over and under, and could quite well recoil harder than an O/U. recoil is dependant on load fired and weight of gun nothing else FACT.

 

It is like the question "What is the best gun/cartridge/rifle/bullet" questions, we only have opinions there is no real answer.

 

Just because someone has a bad experience with a gun doesn't make everyone of them bad. You say about Escorts being bad, Lord Geordie couldn't speak higher about them. I had a Baikal semi which was ****E but Johngalway has one and he loves it.

 

I have a Blaser F3 which I think is the best gun in the world, Suffolkshooter hates it.

 

Do you see where this is going?

 

There is no right or wrong to any of it, only what suits you personally.

 

My rifle coach told me that "shooting is like sex, if it hurts you are doing something wrong"

 

Now to someone like Mungler he would say that if sex doesn't hurt the straps aren't tight enough
