Scully Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 At the risk of resurrecting the same old discussion; it doesn’t HAVE TO BE steel proofed to use steel, it really doesn’t. Don’t let the fact the gun you desire isn’t steel shot proofed put you off, it won’t do it any harm at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the difference between a EELL and a Jubilee? apart from about 3k. Edited August 11, 2019 by rimfire4969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 The Lincoln Jubilee Prestige is ( or was ) imported by Nickersons, and is made by an Italian conglomerate under the name of FAIR. They are very nice guns; my nephew bought one in 20 bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

243ack Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just a bit nicer than the EELL (I've oowned both in 12 and 20). Biggest visual difference being pinless sideplates; but the initial hand assembly means the gun opens and closes so silkily, beautiful!. None of the 'oh, you can tell it's not done much, it's still stiff'!!!. Is it 'worth' the extra money over a non sideplated 686 - no. Would I go back to a non sideplated 686 - NO.

dodeer Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Jubilee is IMO much nicer than a EELL. Greenfields in Salisbury have a lovely used example 3 hours ago, rimfire4969 said: I don’t disagree but this gun will be used on pigeon, pheasant, duck, rabbit you name it (legal quarry) and I will shoot at it. I have one farm i shoot a lot of pigeons at only allow non toxic over their crops and obviously with wildfowl it’s also non toxic. Yes I could use bismuth but that’s very expensive when you are decoying pigeon. So it needs to be steel proofed. If you plan to use standard 28 or 32gr 70mm steel you can use in a standard 70mm or 76mm gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
