    To Choke Or Not ?

    Pure speculation on my part, and not said with any knowledge or authority. Because your chokes are custom made and machined to tolerance for your particular gun I imagine they'll rework them, strip, repolish and re blue etc. They possibly wanted all of them back so they can ensure a consistent...

    To Choke Or Not ?

    Hi Yorkshire Clay Shooting. I'm very particular with my guns and have previously had something similar following on from having some work done on one of my guns (nothing to do with Teague I should add, it was a different company). Initially I thought I could live with it, however every time...

    Coleys open day.

    Hi Jasper, I bought a new 525 Sporter Laminate last year and it had a split through the front of the schnabel. You could only clearly see it from a certain angle of the light caught it the right way. This was from brand new and the gun hadn't been shot. I took it back to the shop where I...

    Which Shooting Cover ??

    This is exactly what I've done. I've emailed to cancel the renewal and have a few quotes from different providers (including ripe, as a new customer). Just waiting for the reply to the cancellation next week and I'll play them against each other to get a decent deal. I do the same each year...

    Which Shooting Cover ??

    I'm currently with gunplan/ripe. Initially they seemed the cheapest that offered the level of cover that I wanted at £24 however they charged an administration fee of £36 on top of this. The renewal has come through for this year £107!!. I've not had any incidents or made any claims. And I...

    Which felt/fibre wad cartridge for optima and other backbored guns?

    I'll throw in my 2 pence. I currently use a MK38 (I fully understand that the forcing cones/chokes/barrel profiles are different to a DT11). The Miroku is back-bored to 18.7mm. I pattern tested it this week using fibre 24g 7.5 Olympic Blue's through teague extended 3/8 chokes (I use the same...

    A Manuel Ricardo visit

    Thanks for sharing this. I have often wondered about the Manuel Ricardo process and it's interesting to get a bit more insight into it. It sounds like you had a fantastic experience. Is there any chance of you posting any pictures of the new stock and forend?

    A funny thing happened at the Ground yesterday !

    100% agree. As a young Private Soldier many moons ago, I witnessed many a fellow recruit get literally jumped up and down on for not having good trigger discipline. Needless to say the lesson stuck *Edit, also fully agree about being able to tell when someone is competent/proficient by the...

    A funny thing happened at the Ground yesterday !

    I think it does fall to more the more experienced to have a friendly word when they see something silly or dangerous. As a regular user of a semi auto, it grips my sh*t when people don't use safety flags. I don't personally believe they are inherently more dangerous than other guns if they...

    A funny thing happened at the Ground yesterday !

    For me it's people resting their fingers inside the trigger guard, on the trigger, when they're not ready to shoot. Apparently it's ok though because 'the safety is on' (they then proceed to attempt to pull the trigger to demonstrate this,)

    A funny thing happened at the Ground yesterday !

    It is concerning the number of people that have no concept of safe firearm/shotgun handling. Whilst I don't want to see any more barriers to people enjoying the sport, I wonder if some sort of compulsory safety training would be a good idea. The amount of lack of muzzle awareness and poor...
