tweedledee Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Guys anyone any views on the above...I handled a minter in a local gunshop and very surprised by the feel of it..comes up to my eye nicely and feels good I'm the hands..I know it's not a Winchester of old and resale maybe not the best but I would nearly try it for a while....anyone out there shooting one a few years?? How does it wear?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I had one as my first expensive (for me) to be fair I shot really well with it however my eye got caught by a Browning XS game gun and I sold it to one of the lads at the clay club who liked it so I could get the Browning. The only issue I had with it was a crack in the stock about six months after I got it and this was replaced under warranty by the shop I got it from. To be fair to the gun this happens on all sorts of shotguns from cheap through to top end guns so it was just unlucky. Overall it was a nice clay gun and the adjust ability was nice to get it to fully fit me. It was however on the heavy side which was great on clays as it soaked up the recoil and kept the swing going but on the birds when we do a lot of walking was a bit on the heavy side to carry round hence my change to the Browning. I would consider one again and to be fair was tempted when one of the club members put up his grey laminate limited edition version to buy that earlier this year.

Scully Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Mate had the grey laminate model a few years ago. He enjoyed it immensely and even though he’s now sold it he often comments how good a gun it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted August 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Seldom shoot clays now and reckon I'd be a lifetime shooting it done..just felt nice and fitted well.. they say the newer guns are a marked improvement on the first select models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
