wisecobandit Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Cough cough novice and Julian in the same sentence??? lol Next ones DTL but on the list its also double rise so that will probably be the challenge and i hate double rise Mind you been shooting DTL better with the caesar so may get on better with the double rise. Ashcombes a bit of fun especially on the compact sporting.You can shoot lots in a short while tho so beware, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasper3 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well after firing a few guns over the weekend, the one that i really liked and felt like it melted into my shoulder was Daves gun ... the Winchester trap.. Tom let me have a feel of a few guns and the one that turned up trumps ..was the same as Dave's It is a little heavier than the game guns, but it really did fit nice ....I always have the option to change if I don't get on with it i was a little unsure 1st as the choke's are quiet tight being full and 3/4............... if this turns out to be a problem..I will change the gun, .............. but !!!! got to say !!! It really felt nice john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi, Jasper, Re your original post on guns and equipment on 6 Sept. which (currently) is now on page 3. Dont think you saw my reply. Offer still stands but by the look of it, you've got it cracked. However, Mate, it may just pay to give me a bell. I,m going to PM my 'phone number, its on the Exmouth exchange. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really felt nice john :yp: Same as me then mate, the gun that fits me the best was the one I bought (Mk38 trap) 3/4 full chokes. If it fits you well theres always the option of a teague choke conversion. Im half tempted to get mine done, but Tom's keeping his eyes open for a multichoked MK38 trap, which I will px mine for. Ive found it not to be too much of a handicap, use it for everything, just at the back of your mind your never sure if you would have scored slightly higher, if you'd had the 'correct' chokes.

wisecobandit Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 So is it the 8500 like Daves or the 6500? Dont get to tied up in the choke syndrome.Its easy to blame them when you dont shoot straight. Like Julian says you can get a teague conversion done but its not cheap (around £250) but tbh ive heard of more than 1 blowing the chokes out and it also has happened to 1 crediton gun club member on his miroku mk38 last year.. Other option is to bore out the chokes to say 1/2 and 1/2 whuch will cover you both for the sporting and DTL which cost around £45 a barrel but it may devalue the gun by £100.

jasper3 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 well the inspection went well .... the FEO was more than happy...just got to wait now for the cert One thing I have got to say is ..how fantastic people in this sport have been to me..... I have probably been very lucky to have met some of the most helpful people that you could wish to meet.... with some pretty impressive experience, i feel as though ive been taken under the wing.... a massive thankyou for that john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarerims Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Glad it went well mate! They are more helpful than you think, I was under the impression that they'd find any excuse not to give you a shotgun, but its more they are there to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
