Well.. that didn't take long! Booked a refresher session with an instructor down at Seals Cove for today - and it went well - seems I've not totally forgotten how to shoot. Was using a stock Browning which personally I found a bit heavy, but it did the business.

On the way back north I stopped into Sloans of Inverurie - I said I was only window shopping but even so Graham was super friendly and helpful and we handled and discussed a number of guns. There was a 12g (can't remember make) with a recoil stock that I really liked ...... right up to the second I picked up a pre-owned 20g Berretta. The 20 went back on the shelf and off again half a dozen times and despite my determination not to buy the 1st gun I liked, it just handled and felt way, way better than any of the others.

Needless to say I have the will power of a gnat and so I left with a lovely little gun - Berretta S687 EELL Diamond Pidgeon.
Very nice, enjoy!
 
Beretta!! My 686 special in 20 bore is like a wand in use, lovely and light for walkabout days. I suspect it’s 20+ years old and still going strong.
