Minky Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I bought an AyA #2 rounded action. I only went in for a new mop and the little beauty was there waiting for someone to take it home. I did ask to look at it and although I loved it, it was way more than the wool mop was. So I just couldn't justify it to myself. Nearly a year later I was back in there and there it was waiting like a dog that had been told to stay and was waiting for master to return. I was told that a Belgian had originally ordered it and when it arrived he looked at it and was so impressed that he changed his mind and changed the order to a custom #1. I shouldered the beauty and after a chat about hounds and the wind I struck a deal and the beauty was coming home with me. It is a real joy to shoot and chops stuff down like it has been hit with a hammer. I bought a Mec size master to churn out fibre loads which compliment the calibre like the original 28 loadings and which are reasonably cost effective. 28s are expensive to feed factory loads. You'll love it. Everyone who has handled and shot it is impressed with the quality, the looks, the handling and the shooting effect. Which 28 did you get.?

Minky Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 A solid performer that will give a lifetime of service. Is that model marked up as suitable for steel. Mine is steel proofed and stamped with the fleur-de-lis and..steel proof on the flats. Chambered for 70mm. without getting it out I am. Not sure of the chokes but I think that it could be 1/4 》》1/2 fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarepeg Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 Well, pleased with first go, managed a 18/25 on skeet and 15/25 on sports trap, room for improvement but enjoying the challenge. winced at every shot, not with body pain, wallet as not cheap to buy. good news, posness/Warren and goodies coming.

That's great to read. Good on you. I hope I'm still able to shoot at 89! You have 3 decades on me, but with a knackered shoulder, I fear the worst...
