Unfortunately they get away with everything.  They are untouchable.  :angry:

Well I went in the opposite direction yesterday and took my beretta 682 pigeon shooting for a change.  OMG I had forgotten how much better I shoot with my O/U.  I am not the best of shots but managed 49 birds in just under two hours.  And the best bit was the fact the empty cartridges were all...

Well you learn something new every day.  I never knew that.

When I was a lad I had a butt clenching moment when pigeon shooting.  My little cocker jumped up for some fuss and as I pushed her down she hit the trigger with her claw and fired the gun.  Luckily it was pointing straight up and not at me but I absolutely s**t myself.  It still gives me goose...

That's exactly my problem. . :wink:   After a 30 years of using an U/O and only a few seasons with the semi, my brain just wants to flick the safety off with my thumb.

My two gripes about using an auto in the hide is it obviously spits cartridges everywhere. With the grass on the headland as long as it is, using a cartridge that isn't black or green really helps. The other is the safety catch.  I just can't get used to flicking it off with my trigger finger...

Really enjoyed watching again this week.  I would love to see you compare the Benelli against a Beretta a400.  I fancy a new semi for pigeon shooting and had almost decided on an A400 but this video might have just made me change my mind.

Who defines what capacity is. To the guy who is totally motivated by money and wants to earn as much as possible then capacity may well be 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.  For others that actually want a life it might be 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week and I am sure there are plenty of people...

This is quite old as its from 2012, but here is the summary of accounts for Gamebore. I believe their turnover for last year was over £15m.

Any chance you can get your hands on a Beretta a400 action ?

Well I enjoy your videos :smile: I can't wait to see the semi review. Which model is it? 

Squimp has given some excellent advice and I would agree with everything he says but the real gem there is to get a bunch of friends together and buy the whole day. I have tried buying individual pegs through GOP and whilst I have had some reasonable days, I have also had some terrible days as...

That's great information, thank you.  I have been in touch with L&L but they are snowed under at the moment so I will give Radcliffes a call. 

Thanks for the help folks. I live in Essex but after asking around I came to the conclusion that our local gunsmiths are more akin to blacksmiths and not recommended for trigger jobs.   One name that did come up as suitable was Ladbrook and Langton i.e. Gunrepair.co.uk.  Although they are in...

Thank you, I will give it a try.  I have been doing the exact opposite and trying to put as much pressure on the trigger as I can before calling pull but what you say makes a lot of sense.
