a2oth Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Was at the Newark shooting show today. 2 stands had Hush power Mossberg pump actions (restricted). Another stand had a single folder which was cheap and elegant. I’m looking for something to sort out the rats and pidgins around stable blocks. But I also like to take all my guns up to the clays now and then and see what I can get them (and me) to do. So, that crossed the single off because I can’t shoot pairs. The Mossberg’s were £400-£500 each, so no bargain at that and also no sale. What would you guys recommend for my duel requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I ordered a Bakial hushpower .410 today, the gunsmith did me a deal at £275. I'll tell you how good it is when I get it!. Mind out though, as the Subsonic cartridges are £6 for 25... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my local RFD the mosseys are £450 last time I looked and they come with a second standard barrel as well...not too bad really when you consider how reliable and durable they are.

mark1187 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Six quid for subs, I wish! Eley subs £7.50 down here ( I have not patterned my Norica Hushpower (see sig. below), but if the results are the same as my Lincoln, ignorance is bliss! I have shot pairs with the Norica but think this it is actually easier for me being a lefty, as I can track the target with my left hand, whilst the right cycles the bolt. I have been waiting for a S/H Mossy 500 to come up in the local shop. My Norica feels like a scaffold pole but it is very quiet. The Mossy 500 mod. is not as long and I would like to know what the difference this makes. Last year I did some not very scientific tests with a digital sound meter and the results as I recall were as follows: HW100KT .22 (dry fired) 60db Anshutz 9mm Garden Gun 69db Norica Hushpower / 3" Eley Magnum subs 82db* Air Arms .22 Springer (dry fired) 89db Norica Hushpower / 3" Eley Magnum 90db* (Don't forget decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale - every 10 dB is a doubling!) One of the reasons I bought the HW100 was how quiet it was , in the local Chi Armoury we had to turn the air con off so we could hear the gun! * I do not have the data to hand but my Lincoln appeared noisier with subs than standard mags. I think the baaaaang is spread over a slightly longer time interval that is only beneficial in a moderated gun. My 9mm Garden gun is very quiet, only a bit noisier than a moderated .22 rimfire. I have Flobert shells in 10's (dust-shot) and 7 1/2s. Luckily I realised a shop had sold me heavier shot before I used them in anger. With the 10's you don't have to worry about damage. With the 7.5's you get nearly 90 pellets and a range of maybe 15 yards. And finally, a single shot or slow second shot is not as bad as it may first appear. With a Hushpower you can take out a steady stream of single birds that would of disappeared without the benefit of a moderator. With 12 bores I use electronic ear defenders, I don't need them when using my Norica. Disadvantages? Norica fits OK in my secondary cabinet but only fits into my primary cab with the aid of Pythagoras ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
