    Just had my firearms officer round to go through my application, all seems good and should be ok except if I want to have more than 5 guns I need an alarm on my safe which is fine but not sure what to get. Can anyone suggest a good place/ type of alarm to get?

    Hi i have seen online that it is possible to get a 10 shot tikka t3 magazine (found some in Australia I think it was) I contacted the shop and they don't sell to the UK. I can't find any for sale in England are they sold here and I am being a div or is there not a market for them?

    Hi I am looking to get a recoil pad fitted to my shotgun, i am in the devon area and i am looking for any recommendations on who to use, so far my options are go to sportsman or ladds and have them take it to be fitted but I would rather deal with the gunsmith myself then there is no confusion over what want done. So has anyone got any good advise on who to use i would prefer not to have to travel to far Thanks for any info

    Thank you for the input but the mk 38 is just a ultra xs but cheaper made from what i have seen of them and i already have an xs. I have seen and heard a lot of people think mirouku is the best bang for buck gun on the market and the 38 is a popular one but its a down grade from what i have in the browning sat in my cabinet. Why dont you like your friends 725? Bad fit? Cheap feel?

    As above do you own one, im asking because in the last month i have been through a few shotguns and want to find one i can settle on. Gun 1: A browning ultra xs 30" adjustable stock liked it but it was a bit short in the stock and the nose was a bit heavy, still own this gun wont sell it as it was my first shotgun Gun 2: Loving clay shooting so i decided to buy as stated on so many forums and by the guys at the rfd "the best shotgun" a DT10 32" adjustable stock and found i really didnt gel with it so sold it to fund gun 3 Gun 3: 692 32" felt much better liked the lighter feel of i

    One thing i will add to the sx3 though is when they get a bit used it starts to show its price tag, a chap i do a bit of rough shooting with and he comes to the clays every now and again has one (well used) and it jams often, it in general feels very cheap and short lasting, as for being fastest shooting on the market it can only fire as fast as your finger can move, honestly how often are you in a situation where you need a second shot any quicker than the few seconds it takes you to correct yourself from recoil? If you are pulling the trigger for a second shot instantly you will mis

    I used to use eley firsts 7.5 28g from sportsman exeter 1000 for £159, i recently changed to sportsman super smokers they are also 7.5 28g and are made by trust 1000 cost £150 thats the cheapest i have found. The super smokers have slightly more kick but i seem to hit more with them so maybe they are faster, the extra recoil is negligible so i am glad i changed

    Here's a brief rundown: The A400 Xtreme is a 3.5", 12ga. shotgun designed primarily for duck hunting. It is built to withstand harsh conditions, like snow, sleet and saltwater. It also fires 2 3/4 and 3" shells. It comes in black synthetic and camo. The A400 Xplor Unico is a 3.5, 12ga. shotgun designed primarily for upland hunting. It has a walnut stock, is lighter than the Xtreme (for the long trekking of upland hunt) The A400 Xplor Action is a 20ga. shotgun for upland hunting, super-light and very low recoil. It has a wood stock. The A400 Xplor Light rounds off the Xpl

    I didnt suggest that people do wait in hides for pheasant you haven't missing out on anything over your 30+yrs of shooting So no need to panic I added the extra few words in caps to clarify what i meant sorry the first post was not completely understandable
  11. Ruster
    Most people from what i can tell prefer a o/u for pheasant maybe your stood waiting for guaranteed birds and not stuck in a hedge/hide where the gun can get dinked, personally if it ain't on a clay ground i take the semi auto or a pump action

    Recoil Pads?

    Ruster replied to Ruster's topic in Clay Shooting

    Solved my recoil pad conundrum, my dad can shoot the browning ultra xs fine as it is so since he doesn't have one that is now his gun and i went out and got a beretta 692 sport which fits great all is well that ends well

    I have just got and used for my last 3 trips to clays a pair of Napier pro 9 ear defenders they work very well and i have had no problems with loud bangs or hearing what people are saying while i have them on, another plus is they don't need batteries to work. The foam that goes around the ear canal will need replacing after a lot of use but they are cheap so no problem there Look around on eBay to thats where i got them for £14 and they arrived with a price tag of £26 on them haha I would recommend them

    I have got a super black eagle 2 and i have been thinking about swapping it in for the beretta a400 xtreme so if i was you on your budget given i vote beretta a400. I think the sbe2 is slightly over rated in all the hype it gets comfortech stock etc none of it seems to make a high difference as advertised. What your question really boils down to is would you prefer gas or inertia, if gas go beretta if inertia benelli/browning A5 I am going in this week and if the trade in price is good i will have the beretta A400 xtreme by the end of the week

    Recoil Pads?

    Ruster replied to Ruster's topic in Clay Shooting

    Yeah i have done quite a bit of research into it too and gunsmith is what most people suggest, i was thinking about doing it myself but after watching a few youtube vids and looking at my stock (it has a curve to it) i would not make a nice job at it. Shame really i wanted it done by the weekend as i have a lesson booked on Monday and would prefer instruction on mount and line of sight on a finished fit but i guess i can put a recoil pad on and not worry about it looking good then get it shaped at a later date Thanks for the replies

    I posted this in the main shotgun/rim fire section but got no replies, guessing this will be a better platform to get help so here goes I have a Browning Ultra XS and the stock is slightly to short for me so it's throwing my shots off a bit plus the extra reduction of recoil cant hurt From anyone in the know what is my best option for a recoil pad? I have seen on eBay kick eez recoil pads but they are grind to fit and i wouldn't want to spend £40 on one and mess it up, neither would i like to spend that money and have it look bad because it doesn't fit right. Are there any wel

    Oh thats great news thank you paulus

    I only have 2 spaces left and I want to sell 2 of my guns and buy another so I'm not sure what to do that's why I asked, but seems send it back is the answer
  19. Ruster
    So when my spaces are full I have to send it off then, is there a charge for this does anyone know?
  20. Ruster
    Hi i have almost filled in all the boxes of table 2 on my sgc if i decide to sell or buy anymore i will need more spaces. Do i need to either send my licence off to get the current guns added to it and it will come back with a new set of empty boxes in table 2, or do i need to print off/get from the police an extra form so i can add it to my licence? I tried looking it up but i came up blank and the people on this forum have always been helpful and informative so figured i would ask here

    I have a Browning Ultra XS and the stock is slightly to short for me so it's throwing my shots off a bit. From anyone in the know what is my best option for stock extension or recoil pad? I have seen on eBay kick eez recoil pads but they are grind to fit and i wouldn't want to spend £40 on one and mess it up, neither would i like to spend that money and have it look bad because it doesn't fit right. Are there any well proven products about that i haven't found yet?

    I was at my LGS today to get some ammo and look at a browning A5 so i asked the staff member and he said if there is no chance of the shot going to the water i.e we are 5-6 fields away from the water then it doesn't matter what shot you use
  23. Ruster
    Cool thanks for the advise, seems like steel number 3 it is then. Any reason why it has to be steel? I figured over water it was to stop pollution of the pond, but seems strange you have to use steel even when far enough away there is no chance of shot hitting water

    So goose season, this will be my first so a few questions: What cartridges are best in 12g? My range of guns can shoot anything so i was wondering what i should stock up on. Is there a happy medium between a cartridge for goose and duck or do i need to buy separate ammo for each? The main place i can shoot them is not near water so when I'm not shooting them over water do i still need to use steel shot? Thats all i can think off for now i have been told anything from number 4 up to super magnum bb but tbh any good tips for hunting these beasties is welcome
  25. Ruster
    Haha no probs, I'm pretty sure I will make the swap was mainly posting so if anyone knew if any major floors in the a5 they would get highlighted
