Ok, so here it is!

The long awaited 'pro trap'

Some of the more eagle eyed may well notice that something looks a bit odd... no monte carlo stock, no barrel weights, strange engraving and a funny looking high rib.

The reason for this is a bit holds a bit of a story...

Legend has it that this was the prototype that was developed by Browning before the official pro trap went in to production.

It has a standard trap stock that has been fitted with an adjustable comb, 525 grade 1 engraving adapted to fit on to the 725 action, an early design aluminium adjustable high rib, 32inch invector DS choked barrels and an adjustable trigger.

The only things missing from this is the barrel/stock weights and the monte carlo stock.

On the plus side though, it was about half the price of a new Pro trap!

Picked it up saturday morning and headed down to the local trap layout, and after 6 months of not shooting trap walked on and shot a 23 (21 of those were first barrel kills)

Is it possible to be in love with a gun? .

It looks very purposeful. 

 

[brett1985]

Its sooooo much more comfortable to shoot with the high rib.

I have an abnormally long and thick neck so found i was craning my head down on to the Mk38 stock and ending up with a stiff neck.

I dont even need to move my head with this one. 

 

[Hamster]

Long, thick and stiff, no wonder you don't even need to move your head.  :lol: :lol:

Very nice bit of kit that! Yes a more head up position really can help with neck issues.

 

[Jonah_116]

Nice wood too

 

[Dog Tyred]

Very nice...although I must admit I was expecting a Perazzi Pro Trap

That rib is a bit of a beast. Last time I saw something like that it had steam train running over it in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Hope you shoot well with it.

Be nice, DT.  Remember what Thumper's father said.

and then that comment about the wood .........

well, back to the shotgun thing I am always wondering about how durable all that adjusto stuff is and I have to admit that it is intimidating enough I'd have to pass.

I thought you had ordered a TSK (evocomp esk) thingamabob. Surely nothing's more adjustable that !

Or were you referring to the rib?

Battery operated trigger - must get one

Well, yeah, the rib.  But the TSK is in the same lot.  And I plan to get it set up, solve all my shooting problems, Loctite every adjust kinda screw, and become an international shooting STAR.  Anyway, that's the plan.
