Lets see your Shotgun

[pete79]

Since when does need have anything to do with it ?

Need has nothing to do with it. If owning the beast because it's cool is the reason for owning it, then that's a good enough reason for me. Read above.......I own three of them.....I don't think I need three, but they're good fun.

 

[johnnytheboy]

yup, I think the Manager at our rough shoot would explode, he keep's trying to ban my friend for his normal semi auto.

They are giving me jip for shooting an over and under in my rough shoot, they like abit tradition these guys! I'kk buy a £50 side by side instead of my over and under Beretta, NOT

Nice gun Red, its abit like the swiss army knife of the shotgun world!!! Benellis are good though!!!

 

[FGYT]

yeah. Seems a bit overkill to me. I can't see a situation where I'd need laser sighting, and I use my 870 for bear. It's cool, for sure, but not sure of the practical application.

well i used to run a SAIGA 12 semi with 4 off 8 rnd box mag lookes like an AK47 32 rnd of Slug in rapid fire aint practical but sure is fun

basically hte bottom one of these (stock net photo i dont have any of my old gun sold it a while ago)

 

[Metatron]

I have a Beretta 682 gold e and a Winchester 101 Trap. They are stock with absolutely no modifications. They are used for clay pigeon shooting mainly and pigeon, snipe, woodcock, duck and such.

 

[bushcraftbob]

This is mine, its a Zabala Hermanos side by side. It's a single trigger multi choke, and good fun to use, but a tad on the heavy side, im going to buy an over and under soon.

Got to love a side by side - something very very classy about them

Saiga 12 here also but with the Sporting stock.

Cribed photo below..

NZ FA regulations makes anything semi auto with a pistol style grip an E cat firearm and you need a special endorsement on your FAL and improved security etc..

Any how back to the Saiga..
As a sporting firearm it's not the best but it is fun and good for Possums...

the club i shot with ( and Red does )
does a lot of practical everything trying ot get teh old pistol days back the local gu nshop ahd a batch of the 12s in and a few 410s you cant have a semi auto rifle here but you could use the 410 with 3" brass carts and .41" Heads ie slug
tho its an expensive way to shoot

a few guys had the barrels chopped back as we had the log version shown in my picture being Sect 1 alredy tiy can have shorter than 24" barrel on a shotgun
in fact a mate ghas a very nice police gun side by side with 20" barrels on sect 1

I was under the impression that ALL semi-auto and pump shotguns have to have a 24" barrel else they become S5? This was a slight issue when Gun Mart reviewed a reproduction Winchester 1887 with a 22" tube -- they had the lawyers from BASC confirm this. (The 1887, being a lever-action, is limited only by the 12/24 rule.)

ah yes semis have a longer min limit the SAGIAs where chopped to 24" as they have longer barrels

teh double barrel one is oks tho at 20"

I had a go with that about 6 month back - nice bit of kit - I was looking around for stagecoach to ride on

Shoot me a mail before you come mate and I'll make sure I am in!

Treated myself for chrimbo, Browning Maxus 26" barrel, Mossy Oak Break up print, 3.5" chamber for the big stuff for geese, still to try it out yet!!!

 

[forestwalker]

An old SbS (12 gauge) and a Tikka combo (m70: 12/.222 rem). I really should get the Tikka sorted such that it can handle steel shot (lead is legal for hunting, not on the range, apart from the environmental issue), so that I can get some decent amount of practice with it. The Tikka is sufficiently Old School as to have an external hammer...

 

[British Red]

I love those combo shotgun / rifles! My friends father has a 12 / .243 with swing off scope. I covet that gun!

The old Tikkas are dirt cheap over here (SEK 1500 IIRC)

I don't have a firearm, nor do I expect to get one, but I have to agree that there's a definite classy touch about side by sides. If anything could get me to buy a "shooter" and get the required permits etc., it's a side-by-side.

 

[johnnytheboy]

I totally agree with everyone on the sbs, I have only fired one once and was hooked, I'm hoping 2011 will maybe bring a nice wee 16g my way!!!

 

[lannyman8]

i have 3 shoteys....

1. silver pigeon 4 under/over 12g
2. Franchie semi auto 12g full mag
3. Bacle single barrel 410g this one only cost £90 new and its indestructable if a little simple....lol....
