Now sold.  Appreciate all those that showed an interest. 

I never use anything other that 24G 7.5's.  Mind you I never hit much. 

One on the ring with my house keys and the spare hidden in the house.  

I have a Brattonsound 7-gun safe for sale.  I believe it to be the MT7 model, which is slightly taler than standard.  (Will take my B725 with extended choked easily)  It was purchased by me a couple of yeas ago when I moved but never used and is still in the original unopened box that it was...

Thanks.  Not much point in sending it in too early then.

Anyone have any idea how long the current wait is for the renewal of a Shotgun Cert in Hampshire? 

There is no question in this, just rambling through my own thoughts.  I started shooting just over a couple of years ago.  Visited a DTL range, had a go and enjoyed it.  Through another interest I knew of a group that shot regularly at the A1 shooting ground in Barnet so was introduced...

That's good news :-)  I have a 687 SP III that I bought as my first gun about three years ago.  I paid £1,000 for it and it still looks like new.  Even though I have no plans to sell, it's nice to know that it is holding its value.   

Thanks for the feedback guys.  Much appreciated. 

Just over a year ago I moved from Surrey to Hampshire.  At the time I notified Surrey Constabulary as I was obliged to and also notified Hampshire as a matter of prudence.   Today I was contacted by Hampshire FAO - the first contact that I have had with them.  He took some details about my new...

We regularly carry and use shotguns (and no doubt an number of contributors here also have Section 1 firearms) for sporting use in pursuit of our hobby.  And we are happy to do so.  However, carrying a firearm with the view to potentially using it on another human being is a completely different...

I use a pair that I bought form my local Clarks shoe shop.  They cost me £30.  They are not 'branded' but are well made, have good grip, clean up easily and look exactly the same as £200 boots when covered in mud.  

I'm a lefty.  I originally shot with a RH Beretta 687 SPIII.  I now have a LH Browning 725 Sport.  The browning feels much more natural to shoulder.  I had no issues with the Beretta when originally using it but probably just didn't know any better.  I think that you just compensate for it...

725 Sport - 32" / Gamebore Evo 24G

I moved from Surrey to Hampshire in April last year.  Made the appropriate notifications to each force both by email and by recorded delivery mail.  I have had no contact from Hampshire constabulary at all.  I was expecting some kind of contact, if not a visit.  My certificate runs out in the...
