Our next registered sporting shoot is on Sunday October 14th. West Country Guns will be there with a display of Kreighoffs and a good supply of try guns for you to use, including the new Parcour.

Come and have a play. Entries are from 10am to 2pm.

 
Was planing on this one anyway, but forgot the K day. Be nice to see what all the fuss is about :D

 
Problem is I will probably fall in love with the parcour, it is a ten grand miroku after all :.:

 
I wouldn't shoot anything but my 'K' oh I do love her and in a few years I would love one made just for me, god knows how much that would be !!!!

Exactly. I am very intrigued by it, but only because it feels near to my Perazzi.. If my P gun was stolen, or crushed by a herd of marauding wilder beast, then it would be on the 'replacement to try' gun list. In reality, I would probably go for a cheaper grade Perazzi..

 
Has anybody tried the new Parcours gun yet ? I handled one at the Midland Game fair and was very impressed.

Unfortunately I'll be away on Oct 14th or I'd have been there for sure.

 
Had a few shots with one over the past couple of weeks. Its very impressive and not 'like a Kreighoff' at all. It feels light at 8lbs and balances on the pin and shoots very smoothly with little perceived recoil. The engineering is peerless as you would expect and it fits together like nothing else I have ever shot. Patterns are tight with the standard out of the box three quarters and full so I expect most of them will have either Teagues fitted or be opened out a bit. Really impressed with a Parcours - and I'm a committed Perazzi fan!

 
Shut it Ian. You could be costing me a lot of emotional money! If it were 8.5 lbs I would REALLY be tempted..

 
I have to agree, just can't see 8 lbs as the right weight for the volume it's intended for.

 
I know what you mean about the weight but it makes it really easy to shoot and as I said earlier, the perceived recoil is minimal even with some very ordinary cartridges. But then, at the thick end of nine grand it needs to be good enough to justify the expense. But its not like a Kreighoff, at least not like the ones I've shot before.

 
Shot one at Mid Wales SG about 2 months ago, felt very similar to the F3 handling wise, looked the part, a tad too much drop on the comb (would have like to seen comb parallel at about 36-38mm off rib so sight picture stays the same on any angle of the barrels) shot few ABT targets and 4 skeet birds ....that was enough to tell me this is too light !!kicked the sh*t out of me, mind people say Vipers are sharp but I do not notice them in the F3 ? cost £9,000+ if you used 24g or lighter may be ok but for that money wait for a few second hand ones to pop up might be the answer if you want one ? personally 2 new F3's and some change :)

 
Thanks for the helpful comments on the Parcours.

I spoke to Haggis at WCG about it a while back. I need a longer stock than the std 14.5" - he suggested a thicker pad and then some weight in the forend to rebalance it. That would add a few ounces to the overall weight, which might not be a bad thing. A std K80 at around 9lb is too much gun for me - I'm an 11 stone weakling with puny arms. But I can manage with 8lb 4oz ish.
