I’ve wanted a lightweight hard case for a while . This weekend when searching google I found Malmo Guns had some Miroku branded Negrinis in stock . Most Mirokus are just delivered in a cardboard box ( or at least they used to be ) A lot easier to use a case than a sleeve if staying in a hotel...

I do 90% of my shooting with a 38 trap . GD5 bought second hand £2000 , long Teagues £650 , A bit of cast and a Kickeeze pad courtesy of Nigel Teague gun fitting service £250 including a fitting session . Had it serviced by Brian Webster and a J and P springs £50 spring kit , around £80...

1 optical occlusion dot placed on shooting specs in the right place is all that is needed . Well that and good , consistent gun mount . With a dot on your specs you still have unimpeded binocular vision until your cheek is on the stock at the time you pull the trigger . Great if you’re missing...

Thinning the trap fore end was quite a common modification for game shooters using 38 trap guns . Michael Yardley recommended it . Any competent stocker could sort it out . There are hundred of laminate rifle stocks getting worked on so it’s not even an unknown process . A couple of hundred...

I actually know that shop , a few years back I drove down from West Yorkshire , bought a nearly new gd5 Miroku Mk60 20g and dropped it in with Teague Precision on the way back up .

I’ve recently been looking a 12g Zoli Pernice game gun . It’s a thing of beauty, and an ideal weight , detachable trigger and optional in stock balance system . It retails at around £7500 . The machining is exquisite . I have trade in that’s worth £4000 + all day long . So the cost to change...

So you’re not going to complete it , you think those that our organisations are useful idiots . What exactly are you going to do to try to protect shooting ? Care to enlighten us . Are you a member of any shooting organisation ? and have you written to them or discussed your views with one of...

One noticeable feature of Miroku guns is the fact that they don’t have a palm swell on the grip . Now this is a Marmite feature , which might rule that brand out immediately for some users .

As above . Don’t rule out the 38 trap for sporting clays , it’s probably been the most prize winning Miroku on the Sporting scene for years . With new ones available with an adjustable comb and multichoke as standard it’s a great out of the box package . The designation ‘Teague’ on the sporter...

I looked at a BR460 in Sporting Guns at Park Lodge . Very impressive piece of kit . I’d be interested to hear how your plans progress . If you are planning on going to the Game Fair at the end of this month I reckon there’s more than a sporting chance the importer ASI will be there . Might be...

A very fair summary Jan , BASC do have an agenda and as a member I’ve never walked past their stand at a show without telling them they are selling out to commercial game interests , snd their stance on lead shot has seen people walk away from membership . However I do feel that at least...

Bill Harriman says it all in the Video link posted by Lefty Loose really , “ if you can’t spend 5 minutes to save shooting , then frankly you shouldn’t be shooting ! A few months back I was on a Wednesday afternoon clay bash and I met a chap called Frobisher who was canvassing for votes for a...

Am I missing something here ? What obvious safety implication ? When I was a wage slave I’d often arrange to visit customers who were adjacent to mid week FITASC sporting shoots I wanted to enter ( as did 90% of the other guns ;) ) , As I remember it the first shooter on a rotation would see...

The old formula Hoppes No9 , was the best solvent for cleaning any bore fouling in anything . Long before they changed the formulation to something that was not a carcinogen , I’d ( in ignorance ) used bottles of the stuff and splashed it about with bare hands , and part of the experience was...

With the exception of the odd farmer for whom the gun is a day to day tool , just about everybody who has a shotgun certificate shoots clays to one degree or another .

BASC have informed all members that the government has invited responses to a consultation arising from the licensing fiasco that culminated in the Plymouth shootings . I don’t know what the CPSA response to this is , I’m no longer a member . However for anyone who isn’t aware it’s worth reading...

You are worrying unnecessarily about Steel Proof Barrels . For either clay or game shooting , cartridges are available in standard steel that can be shot through normal nitro proofed barrels . It’s highly unlikely you will ever need to shoot High Performance steel shells unless you decide to go...

Yes , I’ll go once in a while to shoot 50 off the tower . It’s never ever busy and the shooting positions and cages are looking a bit scruffy , yet every time I go to Kelbrook , Thimbleby or Swinton there’s always good attendance irrespective of the day . The thing about those 3 grounds...

Did Park Lodge ever sell ? It was up for sale in 2021 , and it never seems busy

A Question you should ask is , ‘ if I don’t like the gun how much money will I lose if I sell it back to you in a couple of months ? “ . Bear in mind that on a new gun about 17% of the gross price you pay has just gone to the tax man .
