^^ Couldn't have put it better myself. Mine's also a flat rib F3; weighs 8lb 3oz, handles and swings beautifully. Fits me like a glove, and I'd buy another in an instant. Beautifully made & the modern clean minimalist looks are my cup of tea. To the OP I'd also recommend Ian Mulliner for...

Moving the adjustable comb to the left (as mounted, looking from behind the recoil pad) will make the gun shoot more to the left. hth

Understandable you're giving Miroku a wide berth. Did the new stock come to you via Malmo? If so, surprised that they didn't spot the problem with the 2nd gun and passed it on to you in that state... On the bright side, you've now got a big wad of dosh burning a hole in your pocket that you can...

...and another promising ShootClay thread goes down the pan  :???: At times this forum really is one of the grumpiest I frequent. It's strange because without fail almost everyone I've met so far whilst actually out shooting have been friendly, courteous and patient with me as a...

My experience too. Have had the occasional pierced primer with Hull (Velocity & Evos), but even more frequently with Cheddite carts (Drago Sporting). Was approx 5-10 out of every box of 25. Had my gun serviced recently which included new firing pins and the problem got worse; 1 in 2...

Same here. PP - You might have seen this already but in case not there's a useful article here that discusses the T Bolt (in .22 cal) and its heavy trigger - 4.5lbs or so. Can be got down to 3.5lbs or so with the adjustment screw. If you want to go lower than that, then the article includes...

The OP is saying his gun has a factory adjustable trigger. If it has, I'd suggest you ignore all the dire warnings above. If you find its current pull weight too much, then go ahead and adjust it to a weight you're happier with. Reduce the weight in small increments ( eg an eighth of a turn at...

I'm a new shooter at ESP and have been using the Zeiss shooting glasses: https://www.sportseyewear.co.uk/zeiss-sports-shooting-glasses.html. I also have astigmatism. I went for these lergely based on price tbh; couldn't justify the price of Pillas / Randolphs and these were a reasonable...

Where from??

I thought the scope of HSE regs was limited to the occcupational arena, ie Health & Safety in the workplace; I'm not sure it extends into the domestic arena. Can I be done under HSE legislation for owning & using a dangerous piece of unguarded kitchen equipment in my own home? My guess...

Thanks all for the replies. Fiocchi UK have just confirmed what DolphinCTC & Hamster suspected - the carts are identical inside, basically just a branding change according to them. FWIW the TT1/Top1s have 3% antimony according to their blurb, whereas most other cheapos from other brands...

Explain? Well, from Fiocchis own catalogue: "Specially selected component facilitate the onset of the shooter as well as veterans who like to enjoy a product." It's obviously lost a bit of something in translation, but I think they're saying they're pitching these at new shooters. And old farts...

Hi Am new to clays and just going through various entry level carts from the various manufacturers. Favourites for price / availability / recoil so far are the Fiocchi TT1's I tried. These were from JustCartridges in a uk 7.5 (2.3mm) size. Most other suppliers have TT1s available as Itaian 7.5...

Can also recommend Mickley Hall  near Nantwich. I was in similar position to you - new to shooting etc - and booked an hour lesson with Scott there. Gun hire, clays, carts etc all included and Scott's a friendly guy and a great introduction to the sport. They have Trap and Sporting layouts there...
