I use sportacs in winter, long battery life, comfortable all day only annoying thing is they auto switch off after 2 hours with a warning bleep not good in the middle of a stand so no i whoudent pay any more than the sportacs
You say rechargeable but my sportacs have had the same batteries in for 2 years used once a week, I only changed them because I was worried about the battery's leaking
I think you need to have your master eye checked properly (lesson) and remember to look beyond the barrels to the clay and stare it out if you focus back to the barrel you will most likely stop the gun missing the clay, if your master eye is okay then practice with both eyes open as it will pay...
One thing I like about lloyd's reviews is he goes over the gun/products in some detail not spending half the video shooting which is pretty irrelevant to most watching, couple of shots and back to the gun 👍
I would say go for cpsa if you're shooting clays it opens the door to registered shooting as you progress in your shooting journey, it also covers you for game if you go down that route
I would say take the weights out and try again, when setting up a gun do one thing at a time and try it out, I also use a "winter" pad with thicker clothes at this time of year to stop me feeling I'm stretching
Just a matter of handling really the actions are pretty much the same, handle the guns and take note of the stock heights and fit, both pretty much bullet proof
Similar thing happened to me in that the dealer put down the wrong number on my certificate, only when I came to sell it it came to light, I phoned the firearms department and they just amended the records there and then no probs was a few years ago though
