Handy to know if I ever run short of SIPE as they’re not as readily available. Cheers. 👍 I find the 32gs 6's Eley are killers and are priced right for a smooth cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never tried them on game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t figure out why they aren’t more popular. 🤷♂️ The gun trade doesn't like them much so prices of used ones tend to be quite low.

I haven’t met a dealer yet who is keen, except those who have one to sell, but prices on GT start in the high hundreds for basic old models, up to 23 grand for a ‘Tiger’.

I would rate the HV's are 9.5/10 and your RC's 10/10 so nowt much in it sir, you could always be maverick and have HV's in 1st barrel and RC's in 2nd. . . . in fact I'm sitting here smiling knowing that I'm going to give it a go with that combo, , , , what could possibly go wrong!

It would be a brave man who spent a lot of money on one but a Daytona for a few hundred quid is a great buy. If you're a serial gun changer then don't even consider it.

If you're a serial gun changer then don't even consider it. Sorry, I meant you’ll find many a Gamba for a few 100, but I doubt you’ll find a Daytona for less than 1200. Mine cost me 1600 at least 8 years ago, and was offered the same for it by someone in the syndicate a couple of years ago, despite him knowing the stock had been repaired. Dealers however, like you say, just don’t like them. It would be interesting to know just how much they PX’d those for on GT. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
