njc110381 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Glad it went well for you. It's really funny to read how everyone sits there s******** themselves before a visit, I did the same! Once it's over it all seems easy, and you can sit back and wait for the paperwork to arrive. 2-4 weeks is good, but don't hold your breath. Relax, it'll be with you soon hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendevelium Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I have a second hand Lanber (check out my signature! ). They are excellent. If you are going for game shooting, go for a 28''. Go for something like a 30'' if clay- but it is personal preference. You will be looking to pay about 200-400 depending. Don't fret too much about chokes- just remember not to have too tight choking.

myzeneye Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 cheers guys, sorry bout the super slow response ive been chocka with work ( plumbing/gas/heating engineer).... yes, it wasnt bad at all...... it wasnt wilcox, it was a guy called gregory ?? something... cant recall his surname........ the usual guy round my way is called tom slavin, but apparently he's off with a broken ankle !!! like i said, now ive got to save some cash for a second hand lanber ive set my heart on.... i believe them to be a good gun for the cash..... if anyone has one for sale, let me know... andy-rv, where bout are you mate.... i dont see many other locals lads on here? im looking for some rough shoot land local to me , maybe frodsham, helsby manly, delamere, dutton etc etc.... if you can suggest anywhere id be very great full, as im just starting out and have no real freinds involved, it seems evry one who has a permission wants to keep their cards to their chest ( and i can see why) and no one really wants to have other shooters asking for permission on their land etc etc.... but its tricky mate..... im very wary of farm dogs and the prospects of being mauled by one arnt appealing.... imagine turning up to ask for consent and as the farmer comes to his door he whitnesses you kicking severn shades out of his dog !!!! ha ha ha ..... best go with a pocket full of buiscit's...... so, any help is greatly appreciated.....
