islandgun Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 If you had to choose just one gun from your ownership past or present which one would it be and why, Perhaps controversially mines a McNab 20g, Light and responsive it suits my need for walked up woodcock and close range fowling and all things in between..

bruno22rf Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 A 16 gauge Stephen Grant SxS under lever with Damascus barrels and Manton locks - cannot recall who I sold it to but wish I hadn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 If we are talking guns as in shotguns and not firearms in general then it would probably be my Parker Hale, it just works and would look out of place on a clay ground or on a pheasant shoot.

Although with me at the blunt end it could look out of place anywhere 😉 If it was just 1 from the safe it would have to be .357 mag/.38 special under leaver, only because I could still do my job and pay the bills.

retromlc Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 My Perazzi is just plain black but I found it and it was the exact specifications I was going to order it, except I would have had the type 100 engraving, but does have exceptional wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) The Benelli SuperSport I still have, it could do everything I need.

London Best Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 The ultimate all rounder (surely that is why we are discussing this?) has to be a double barrelled gun (you choose the configuration) which is a twelve bore with 70mm chambers. That gives maximum versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzyvilla Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 My 30" miroku mk38 grade 5 teague sporter. Brilliant gun and worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Dunno? But 36 gram (1 1/4 oz) is the standard lead load for 70mm. Chambered guns. I never thought about steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
