davecooper1 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Went into my local gun shop, for some pigeon carts today, had a browse through there guns, and found a silver pigeon that I really liked. They said that they would do me a px on the lanber mc that I bought of them 2yrs ago, just asking how many members have a silver pigeon and what do you feel about the gun, to help make my mind at ease, thanks for any help. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Okay well i got one just into closed season i think late March its a sliver pigeon S 28 inch barrels fixed choke and love it have put 2500 thousand carts through it so far at least and no problems and have had some big days like nocking on to 500 in one big day only problem i got was that at the end of a simulated drive after over 100 carts in about 10 mins it stopped ejecting the carts properly no doubt a problem with any gun due to expanded hot metal. I would recommend one whole heartily and it will no doubt be a good long lasting safe bet. I hope this helps you make the right choice.

Spaniel Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have a SP3 30inch barrels and it fits like a glove, it was so good that no other gun actually could match it other then a Browning 325 which also fitted me well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldfish Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Used a Silver Pig and loved it, upgraded to a SP3 Sporting as I liked the idea of Optima chokes and nice wood. You will not go wrong with a Silver Pig. Edited July 28, 2009 by Goldfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I am the proud owner of a Silver Pigeon III and love it to bits. They are easy to take the wood off if they are soaked, the ejectors are easy to remove and clean. I use it for everything, wildfowling, game & clays. It took me a while to find one with nice wood but I looked round and found one! I have never had a problem with it ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
