Pattern testing on the board doesn't always give you a true indication either.Mounting and firing at a stationary object 5 ft above the ground can decieve you into thinking all is well.I'm far from an expert but I have found I need my pattern hitting slightly lower on the pattern board than I would like ,to achieve results in real life shooting at a moving target in the air.Quote:

Dunno either, Beretta has a try gun I beleive, so does Stager sports, but as above , doesn't really mean shit if you don't know what really is going on. Next time I go thru the UK I am going to book a fitting and get it all on paper from guys who really know what they are doing.
What grade wood Tom?

I'd imagine that to be the best bet wouldn't it? get your measurements then you will be sorted. Might have to bear this in mindQuote:

Blaser bloke in Wanganui is pretty handy wit regards to gunfit, watched him fixed a gunfit problem between fields on Sunday at Rotorua.
I would love to try one of them F3's with a high rib
Murry Cameron did the fit on my Mrs shotgun - he used to do H&Hs non H&H customer guns in the UK, and is an 'actual' apprenticed gunsmith (albiet prob in 1890 LOL)
Has a hell of a good reputation in the clay community
High rib F3 MMMMMmmmmmmmmm nice............Quote:

Yeap there's a lot of F3s down here these days, would even say, they are dominating the sporting clay scene down here, a lot of good shooters using them now a days.
Sorry to hijack the conversation again, but if noone is good for fitting here, who would you see to get a gun restocked and fitted?

Gidday Mitch, Didn't realise Robert Dollimore was a shotgun guy also, he sprang to mind earlier on but dismissed the thought. Have seen his work on an old english double gun before, was absolutely top notch. Is that on the 20g you had at my place?
Just go see Jim Colin. Sell all them flowery fucking guns first though and take a real one down there. Please don't let it have a B as the first letter unless it's Russian, if it's anything like the rifles it's a name thing which doesn't mean much.
Imagine a couple of photos here, one of a ATA auto 20ga and another of a SXS 20ga that hasn't got ejectors. That would be cause the wanking gunshops here didn't have a normal persons one (under 10G's) with ejectors. In fact I don't even think at the time they had one of them 'other ones' either.
The topic is "Lets see your beautiful shotguns" Is it not? Thats why you can probably continue to imagine pics of ATA autos and shitty old sxs's.
I wonder how me and my flowery gun would go against you and your real gun in a round of clays of your choosing?
You can see ours on the Benelli website....MI,M2 12G and M2 20g.:thumbsup:
How about a round of rabbits r93? I tend to hunt live critters...
I'll supply the cartridges but the first to miss buys me a flash whiskey.
Rabbits??? Over a dog? First too miss buys you the whiskey, Ha! Ha! You win either way mate.
TBF you would probably have me there. I havent shot a real bunny with a shotty for a while. The last time was from a machine. However I have no problems buying anyone a whiskey, so I hope too humour you one day.:D If I win you have too wash and wax my sheepshagger and allow photographic evidence of you doing so, if needed, posted on the forum. Deal? :thumbsup:
Well I know who will miss ;) :D They are to easy from the goingtofalldown.
That will be interesting on the washing thing as I never wash me own one.
Dont be so hard on yourself! Your in with a chance.Quote:

Just looking at this pic again, I wonder how many people still thread flax through the ducks noses? Or even know about it? Its a great tradition, and damned handy. Been doing it for 45 years. Other old gunners, a lot longer.Quote:

I wonder why not Toby?Quote:

Yes I was right:DQuote:
