Mk60 high pheasant with fixed 3/4 and full...! It's my game gun but I use it for clays as we'll including skeet! I was thinking about getting it teagued but I asked a mate who's shot for Wales and he told me not to bother and just shoot it more... oh, and I don't really don't worry about averages however lets just say I do alright for myself......😉 Forgot to say, I always use 24g on simulated game days and have never needed anything stronger even on 60 yard + clays.....and I don't end up with a sore shoulder after 400 shells unlike some of the others shooting!!

Mr. Merkel Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I would recommend a Blaser F3 based on my personel experience of owning and shooting one. I purchased my F3 in 2009 it fits me very well, the gun has passed 20,000 shells with 3 light strikes. Blasers appear to be a bit of a marmite gun I have heard a lot of negetive comments about them. However, mine has been superb and I love using it, the gun is far more capable than I am. Enjoy your selecting and shooting. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taileron Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 After months of deliberation I picked up my new Fabarm RS12 yesterday and I very impressed. Hit 71/100 on its first outing at sporting. I handled and shot a few and liked it. Lloyd Patterson gave it a good slagging off on his review but perhaps it just didn’t fit him. The raised rib suits me and the quality/fit and finish is on par with other manufacturers. OF, if you happen to be in the midlands at any point your very welcome to have a go on mine.

Nice one Dave! If the price is right maybe room for fitting multi choke system of your choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it’s suiting you very well 😊 not a gun I’m familiar with I shall give it a bit of research thanks for the kind offer 😊 all the best of 23 minutes ago, impala59 said: That’s an interesting concept, 1 fixed and 1 multi, could be quite usable?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 No selector on the safety catch of a 682X. Many trap guns were made with a mulri-choked lower barrel and fixed full in the top. Back when they were only used for trap disciplines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
