Thread: shotgun 12ga

When I was shopping around it was hard to find a selection of under over to try in my price range, however I settled on the Webley Scott 912k good fit off the shelf.
Nothing too fancy, and I’m sure it shoots straight, can’t say much about the shooter I probably scare off more ducks than dropping them, but it’s all about the fun.

Be over rotorua on saturday so be able to have a look to what is over there in the shops, but after the reaction i got when i said to the over half i was buying a few decoys

I'm seriously looking at those tripple barrels.

See the thing is
Why does it have to be New?
I'm no expert in guns but I tell you, for the new price of what your looking at or just a smidgem more you can get into a quality shotgun.

Yup what he said.
Mind you the nicesest shotty I ever picked up was a 20g u/o in GC 20 odd years ago. It came like a dream and just felt right. It should've, it was a used browning and was over 4k. that was back in the mid 90's. I made a big sigh as I handed it back

ive got 4-all 2nd hand .2s/a-legal one set up specifically for geese(3" chamber)the other bentley pointer a clone of the famous browning a5 a great wee baikal o/u bought from C404 -now she is my go to gun.and a era gameking 12gsxs ,a copy of my 1st shotty bought off younger brother 40=yr ago then sold off when marriage went kaput.
none are flash top of line jobbies ,but all carry a memory for me and I just enjoy using a variety of types depending on whats sought and how i feel at the time. love the sxs on pigeons!
