Mungler Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 As long as all your guns fit and shoot the same (picture down the barrel) I reckon it's all a much of a muchness. My top 4 guns are as follows: 1. F3 Joint 2nd : Zoli sbs and mossberg pump 4. Beretta AL391 I shoot pretty much the same with all of them but I prefer the Blaser because it's just better to get on with. I will be getting rid of the rest to make room in the cabinet for FAC toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presh Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 So....is the F3 really as good as many of you make out or is it 'all in the head' i.e. you think that you have the best available clay gun therefore you expect to shoot well and hey-presto, you do? What did you all shoot before the F3 was released? For such a plain unadorned gun it's pretty expensive but many of you must feel that it is worth it. Can any of you actually physically define the differences in the F3 when compared with other guns of a similar value or is it just something you 'feel' when you shoot with it?

ME Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 If you do go bear in mind between them they have about a 40% stake in Blazer so beware Presh, when you buy your Blaser (you know it makes sense) you can get your matching wardrobe here - http://www.alanrhone.com/index.php?cPath=7...78c15b1da9de0d8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presh Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Nah....at the moment I would be Mr 'all the gear but no idea!' Think I'll stick to something a little less conspicuous until I can shoot like a pro before I try and look like one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight32 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 You boys who own Blasers actually use them a pigeon gun for decoying as well then? I must admire you for that- 2k plus out in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmsy Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 i use my perazzi on pigeons, who cares its only wood + metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulkyuk Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I use my Grade 5 Miroku ( worth quite a bit) for everything from pigeons to rough shooting to a high brow pheasant day, they are only tools and although some cost a lot more than others they do the same job . i know Alan Rhone ( Blazer and Kriegoff UK supplier) quite well too - he sponserd my brothers clay shooting when he had a 'normal' gun shop ( was about 25 years ago though), i see quite a lot for a chat and one of the lads that work for hims shoots with us quite a bit.

simonp Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 This season I will be using my Beretta 682 Gold E for game as well as having used it for clays all over the summer. Whats the point in getting my eye in with one gun all summer long, only to use a different gun when it really matters to make clean kills ?

birdsaver Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 interesting train of thought, would not practice with a second gun give the nessasary experience to make sure?? it was just a thought. birdsaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not not really - if you only use 1 gun you get very used to shooting it and after a short while it's as if its part of your body somehow Just my view anyhow.

Gordon R Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I have three trap Brownings / Mirokus, but only use the one. It does for everything - Browning XS with trap forend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Interesting thread. I've just had my SGC granted and i'm in the same boat, i think i'm gonna go for a 686E Sporting to use on both the clays and rough. Seems like a well made gun, realistically priced and i hit things with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin I do only use 1 now - used to own 3 but swaping and changing guns round made for bad shooting - so stuck with the one gun and seem to shoot ok with it now. paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 see your point bud, it would seem were split on gun/guns, but i must agree starting out it would be better to use one, i just cant stand lugging the heavier guns over field and far when out so stick the lighter 20g, of cource the gooses get the bigger howitzer. interesting thread and thoughts by all :blink: Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a well made gun, realistically priced and i hit things with it. good choice, I use the same for both clays and game etc if you can shoot well with a gun then why use another for a different use. Ok you can get light game guns that are easier to carry on a day out but really this is only an issue if you are struggling with walking if you're pretty fit it doesn't come into the equation. The only change I make is I use an auto when lamping rabbits from a vehicle as I find it far easier to load and the third cartridge comes in handy. Having said that I don't think I shoot quite as well with my auto as mu O/U but its horses for courses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
