B725 30" and my old Beretta 302 semi, Eley Olympic Blue 28gm 7.5 fibre, these like many others have just gone up by £30 a 1,000 so going to try Gamebore Velocity 7.5 fibre today at Spitfire. Just got a 1,000 for £169.

Went with a few club mates today to shoot at Birchwood shooting ground Sherfield English Hampshire only to find notice on the gate to the effect that the shoot is permanently closed with no real explanation. this is the second shoot in the area to close in the last 12 months. Is this a theme...

Purbeck shooting school now insist on using their supplied cartridges on certain stands due to planning problems with noise. It astounds me that one person living a kilometer away can put a whole business in jeopardy,  the shooting ground has been there for years the complainant moved in some...

Thanks for pointing out the typo it should be of course 1214mm.  2114 will be the new fashion for 2017!!

in answer to your question, the exact measurements of my B525 are 2114mm or 3'113/4" in old money. :angel: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

The Browning 525b Sporter is another very good value for money gun.

The problem with using  20 gauge for clay shooting is the cost of cartridges, much dearer than  12s and if you are using a 28grm load not a lot of difference in recoil. As ips says, better of using lighter load 12 gauge cartridge.  20 bore are great if you are carrying it round a game shoot all...

OK, they shoot Sundays, my mistake, just trying to help. 

I am near New Milton but there are a group of us who shoot at different grounds each Sunday morning also some of us older ones, who have time, shoot mid week. Winchester is an ideal base, you have a number of grounds near by, Wallers Ash, Chalky Hill, Three counties, Popham, a little further...

Hi welcome. To put your mind at ease!! I am in Hants police area, New Forest, I applied for my certificate 0n the 12th December last year and received the cert. on 2nd June. Do not be surprised if your referees tell you that they have heard nothing. The police do not normally contact or visit...

Have a look on Gumtree there are loads of second hand ones. just brought a good 5 gun cabinet for £75.

Hi welcome to the addictive sport.  As above, stay away from the cheap Turkish guns if at all possible. Owning a nice gun is a thing of beauty so find a nice second hand one, you don't have to spend a shed load of money. Don't know where you are based but Purbeck Shooting School have a decent...

Hi all, I own a two year old Browning 525 with modern back bored barrels. I get reasonably consistent, if not high scores using Eley Olympic Blue plastic wad cartridges. I have been told that modern back bored guns perform better using plastic wad. The next couple of weekends I am shooting at...

I tried a few guns before I got my ticket at the beginning of June this year. I then decided that a Browning suited me, bit chunkier in the action. I brought a preowned 525 sporter and love it. Since I've owned it I have tried a few other guns but nothing feels like my 525. I will be sticking...

Thanks. :)
