If my memory serves me correctly Fiocchi load a range for the UK market only ie. true english shot sizes. Also used the Pigeon Special which are very good too, and cheaper than the other brands "budget" range. To sum up Fiocchi are excellent value for money.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windswept Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Wymberley, did you mean CFL or GFL? Did you find a true English 7 and what do you use them for? (Just looking at a 20 bore myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find a true English 7 and what do you use them for? (Just looking at a 20 bore myself). Yep, my mistake, GFL. Ever since way back before they changed ownership I've had a soft spot for Express - they ran a special order for just 2000 - don't think that'll happen now. Quite chuffed as that special morphed into a standard and is still in production. Have shopped about a bit for 12 and Gamebore had what I preferred, but now I've had to downsize I'm finding that 20 bore 7s are thin on the ground. I don't shoot as much now, firmly believe that the woodpigeon is worthy of respect as a quarry species and merits the best you can afford to throw at it. So Lyalvale Express Supreme Game it is. My last lot (clue there) were somewhat undersize at 375 to the ounce. I have just ordered some more and they are spot on at 334. The shot is well sized, round and bright. The 'Lot' in question are at JC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very nice older 20 bore at UK Gun Repairs which I can vouch for - provided SHS and double triggers are your thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Beretta S56E and if I say it myself, it's in superb condition. You could just have a look at the AyA 12 bore No 4 De Luxe if it's still there should you fancy a good drool.

A double trigger Beretta OU? Very interesting, I had assumed it was a SxS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
