    Choke Grease

    The stuff Teague sell at a fiver for a few grammes is a blue high pressure grease , about £12 for a whopping great grease gun cartridge . Krieghoff sell little tubes of ceramic choke grease , the same money will get you big tube of ceramic brake piston grease from the car shop . My personal...

    Left Handed over and under?

    Browning certainly produce the 525 /725 in true left hand , and everyone produces versions of their guns with wood work only left hand . If you’re not fussy about which way the top lever pushes , anything with an adjustable stock will do the job as long as the pistol grip is comfortable .

    725

    A shade on the light side for the serious clay shot , and it would need the auto-safe removing . But it wasn’t bought for clays , Browning/ Miroku are bring out some cracking models. I could have spent hours in the shop there were hundreds of guns from every manufacturer at every price you...

    725

    How about a 725 action body , but with a proper 525 style recoil trigger set up , add an in your face engraving style and a bit of nice wood … I only went in to get a gun valued and walked out with this after trading ..

    Berreta Mobil choke options

    The constriction marked on the tube can only ever be an approximation. In the good old days of English gunmaking the individual gun would be regulated with a particular cartridge so that it threw the correct pattern by percentage on a plate at a specific distance . Now you just screw in a...

    For Sale Krieghoff Titanium Chokes . K80 12 gauge

    PX price

    It’s easy to feel you’re getting done ( I’ve never had a good gun buying experience ! ) , but dealers are a business . Think of it this way , you’ve a 20 to 25 year old gun that was around £1800 new . Its possibly fired thousands of rounds and it’s probably only depreciated by 2% per annum on...

    HSE publishes risk assessment opinion on lead in ammunition restriction proposals

    There never was a consultation, it’s always been a ‘fait accompli ‘ . Some of the ‘ facts’ presented in the report are stunning in their ignorance. My favourite is “ Hunters” ( I always thought they were big horses , but he-ho “ causing lead poisoning in their companion animals ( dogs ) by...

    Shooting glasses for spec wearers ?

    the most versatile lens I’ve got in the ZS frames is a yellow to photochromatic dark brown . Great on game days as well as clays . ZS were once called Zeiss Sport and distributed by Zeiss . I first wore them nigh on forty years ago . They are no longer connected to Zeiss , who now push Pilla as...

    ZS frames from JHS eyewear are really comfortable to wear , nice high fit and adjustable bridge . polycarbonate lens for sporting shooting where you might get clay fragments . JHS have been supplying shooting specs for donkey years not interchangeable lens , but the cost is right and you can...

    Who would you recommend and why ?

    Indeed they are nice guns , I’ve been looking at them in 12g and Miroku MK11 and Browning Heritage Hunter game guns which are essentially the Miroku take on the same theme , posh wood and engraving . Then a few weeks ago a friend bought a brand new 725 Hunter U.K. with a nice prince of Wales...

    Who would you recommend and why ?

    A 687 EELL is a Silver Pigeon in a fur coat . it will handle a little differently as the side plates will add a little extra weight between the hands . Nice wood and machine engraved pheasant are pleasing to own but at 3 times the price of a standard gun Also if it is a game gun it will be a...

    If you were starting again,,,,,,

    I wouldn’t have bought a Winchester 1400 auto and kept it in the wardrobe , I wouldn’t have bought a Zabala side by side , i wouldn’t have bought 32 gm S&B paper . I wouldn’t have worn Dunlop safety welly boots with red toe caps , I’d have ignored advice from my mates , and listened to the...

I use them infrequently as a back up to my Sordin headset . the best performance and comfort I’ve had were Emtec NoiseBreakers . Wish I’d hung on a replaced like...

You will get more out of £150...

    Playing with an idea….

    Supply and demand , some of the big manufacturers are working flat out on military ammunition at the moment . The demand for propellant and the base chemicals has gone through the roof , and that demand for the downstream chemicals will be competing with other products that use them like...
