Time to get backk into 3-gun, needed an open division shotgun to complete my open setup so have spent the last couple of months playing around and modifying a vepr-12. Runs like a dream now on 2.75 dram ammo. Should have done this years ago.
You would only need 1 mag for an average stage looking at the size of those mags[emoji106]Quote:

Well im a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to shotguns. I was brought up on an under over and s/s and thats what i spent my time shooting mainly. When i moved to a tube gun i transitioned pretty quickly but found that if a shotgun fits you properly then its much of a muchness. The box fed gun was a bit outside my comfort zone compared to what i was used to but i have to say that without the dot on it it points just as good as anything else i have picked up.
The dots only been on it for a couple of days but i have already found that with it turned on my eyes are reverting from a target focus to a "sights" focus, that alone is slowing my transitions down because im now aiming the gun and not pointing and following through like i used to. Example, if you put an array of 10 plates up from left to right in front of you then i would say the fastest way to shoot them is to start at one end and shoot them all one after the other consecutively without ever stopping the movement of the gun, the way to do that is to use a target focus (with a gun that fits) and just tap the trigger at the correct time as the gun swings through the arc of the plates. But with the dot switched on im finding myself moving from plate to plate, stopping the gun as my eyes revert from target to sights focus, making the shot then repeating the process for the next plate. Slow as shit compared to a target only focus.
As far as im concerned the only time you need to aim a shotgun and be aware of your sights is when you are shooting slugs. So im now thinking that i need to either lose the dot completely and sight the irons in for slugs or sight the dot in for slugs and just turn it off for those birdshot stages and shoot it like a normal shotgun. The gun hasnt been match tested yet and by the looks of it it wont be until the north island 3-gun champs so i will use that as a test bed. Want to go to the shotgun world shoot next year so have alot to think about and not much time.
Shit. I went into ramble mode and didnt answer your question:x_x:
No i havnt shot clays with it yet, but if it fits the shooter, points well and goes bang every time and you have the ability to change chokes then i cant see why it cant be competitive at any of the trap type matches available out there even compared to a 5k beretta. Although the patrons at the local trap club would probably frown at you, more so when you start cleaning them up!
You did answer my question actually.[emoji106] Your mention of a sight opposed to a target focus is why I asked.
I have tried myself to use a sighting aid on a shotgun but found it not only slowed me down it mucked with my overall technique.
Having shot to a reasonable standard in both sporting and skeet for over 20yrs I found that I was missing the simplest of targets on a range or in the field until I went back to what I knew.
I tried a red dot on a shotgun on Venison for a season at someone else's insistence.
I started out really well but after a while went to shit and went back to a clean gun.
I don't/cant use any sights at all now even for slugs and am hopefully back to what is natural.
Shotgun stages are my favorite of a 3gun match even tho the shooting is elementary I like being busier with stage and ammo management.

Got her prone on the blunt end to set up the scope this afternoon.Quote:

3.3kg all up without the bipod!!!
This is my 4th terminator rifle and I couldn't be happier with all of them!
Thanks again @kiwigreg

That's a bloody long cartridge in a very short action - how do you find it so far? Single feeding?Quote:

300 Rum is generally a single feed when running big projectiles seated out even on a long action so I figure it's better to have a shorter, lighter action.

Yea it probably wood, but its a hunting rifle, and I hate brakes with a passion, I will get a suppressor, for it, once its back in NZ, I can shoot it well enough, and have harder kicking rifles, its a typical light weight rifle and is slappy and hard to shoot well, consistency. I've only just got it, and am still getting used to it, and developing a couple loads, then I will move the 300H&H on.Quote:

Loud, obnoxious and antisocial, brakes regardless of performance have a bad name as a birth right.
I have the Browning Win Mag 300 with the "BOSS" muzzle,the bloody thing is sooooooo loud,it's the nastiest "crack" I've ever heard!!!

Bare rifle was 5lbs 7 oz, not bad, esp as the action length, is good for a 300 H&H sized case. They only $200-250 more, than a Sako carbon light, from prophet river in Firearms in Canada, was going to order in a 280 AI, 7mm mag or 6.5x284, when the 300win came up,
Same girl new dress.

Bare rifle weight before 3.444kg
And after replacing the Sako stock and bottom metal with a Stug stock and alloy trigger guard its 2.691kg for a saving of 0.753kg or over one and a half pounds lighter![emoji106]
