[SIZE=medium]I realise that a good shot can use any gun to good effect. However, people do pay a shedload of money to buy kit like DT11s, Perazzis and Krieghoffs and some of them are very nice indeed. Deeply envious of some of the superb ones I saw at the weekend.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]However, at what sort of point (eg what sort of registered scores) do people move from, say £1 – 2k shotguns etc to the above? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium](And I know that if people can afford it, they are totally entitled to go ahead and spend their money on whatever takes their fancy! And what better way to spend money than on a great gun.) [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]And when they do, is there an increase in scores after the 'bedding in period'? (I’d guess that there wouldn’t be much, which then takes me back to the question in my tiny mind of why ‘upgrade’ in the first place?)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Sorry if this seems convoluted, overly analytic or too simplistic. But I do have a genuine reason to ask this![/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]To give my question a bit of perspective; for example, if a 20 yr old lad was shooting consistently and is now in the low 80s in registereds with a 525 Browning but showing a steady and consistent increase, when (if ever) should we plan to get him a new ‘tool’ for the job of further improvement? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]And for the record, he has absolutely no complaint re his well sorted Browning but as ‘dad’, I need to plan ahead. [/SIZE]
