I have just purchased a 20G 2005 Browning MK70 to use for skeet. I understand that 20G needs less choke than a 12G. What chokes would members recommend, Super Cylinder, True Cylinder or Skeet, or a mixture? This is only for skeet

Does anyone have a Briley weight for a 12g o/u shotgun? Please PM if available

I am using Slippery Dicks oil and getting a good result, what would members use as a finishing coat to protect the stock? I am not sure whether to use Antiquax, Tru Oil or just leave it as it is to dry thoroughly

I am looking for an unused set of Browning barrel weights, one of mine has broken which I understand is a common problem PM with details please

I am assuming for this thread that the average impact distance is 20 yards and shot is no. 9 Can anyone tell me the % of pellets in a 24” circle, at above spec, with CYL v Skeet chokes? The 24” is arbitrary and members may feel it should be larger, I am working on half the max lead ever needed...

I read an article on ballistics with the following stats: Shot from a 1200 fps cartridge no9 will reach 22 yards in 0.072 secs and be travelling at 740 fps Shot from a 1300 fps cartridge no9 will reach 22 yards in 0.069 secs and be travelling at 772 fps This would indicate a difference of...

Has anyone tried any skeet scoring apps on iPhone?

Do members have any advice on how to ensure the gun is not stopped and there is a smooth follow through after pulling the trigger?

I currently only shoot skeet with two skeet guns fixed choked at SK/SK & CYL/CYL, noticing no real difference between either. I want to start Sporting and Trap and watched a very interesting video by Ben Husthwaite on choke selection, he ended by saying 1/2 & 1/2 were the best choice for...

Do members use walnut oil on their stock/fore-end and if so which brand and how often?

I am sure this has been discussed before but as a newcomer any advice is welcome, everyone on YouTube has a different opinion. What is the ‘best’ barrel cleaner, I was told to use Phillips, I have also read that any oil, including Castrol, Ballistol and Vaseline with 3in1 mixed in are adequate...

I am looking at a new Browning Ultra XS Pro 30”, has anyone any experience of this gun on a skeet layout. The gun seems to come without a skeet choke but 2 full chokes. Any comments or information would be appreciated 

I have removed the stock from a second hand Miroku and noticed what seems to be gun oil on the the front edge that meets the action. Any advice on drawing out the oil without having to re-finish the stock?

If you have a gun that fits perfectly is it right to assume that any other guns should be adjusted to have the same drop at comb and heel and the same LOP, all other things being equal?

Pull away seems a popular method, certainly K80ben says it is his preferred method. I try to use it on stations 3-4-5 but struggle on high 2 and low 6. What method do members use, I know maintained lead is the method of top shooters like Todd Bender but it isn’t working consistently for me?

I want to put a removable comb raiser on a stock to assess any improvement before having an adjustable comb fitted. What experience do members have? I want to avoid anything bulky which may affect cast but be good quality in case it becomes permanent. Any advice appreciated

I have purchased a Miroku 3800 in very good condition. However the original barrel weights are missing, but the factory holes are present. I understand it came with three sets (20/30/40g) of weights. Does anyone have or know where I can purchase these weights, many thanks

Does anyone have any old (pre 2005) Miroku shotgun catalogues to sell or loan, I will pay all registered post and packing?

I have the chance to buy a very good condition skeet gun with 27” barrels. Do members feel this is too short?

Has anyone tried these, looking for clay use with more shot that 24g? Any advice welcome
