    Only around 50mins from me so no issue.

    I by far prefer the Italian o/u guns compared to Browning / Miroku but that is a matter of taste and everyone likes different things but after owning a number of Miroku and Brownings, I just prefer the handling of Perazzi / beretta / Caesar Guerini but totally conceed with this semi auto, it's a cracker.

    Yes quite right, this is not the same recoil operated system of the original A5 where the barrel used to move backwatds to operate the action. This uses what Browning call a 'Kinetic Recoil' system which doesn't have that barrel movement and is much cleaner in operation. The bolt assembly is very very similar to the Benelli guns, I am told. Anything else, I have to learn about..........? Phil

    Ah, not on your doorstep then, I expected you to say someone in Leeds/Wakefied for some reason. I used City a few times when I had my Rapid fac guns which was his speciality, very helpful chap. Phil

    I have had my KOFS 28g shotgun for about 18 months and despite it being a joy to walk around with BUT it just is not floating my boat so keep hold of that thought. I was in the rfd last Tuesday to zero one of my air rifles on their in house 25mt range, my turn to make the coffees for everyone and returning into the main shop, I saw this guy who was wanting to sell his semi auto shotgun, it didn't really interest me and I just carrried on drinking my coffee BUT then I noticed this gun had a ceracote barrel (like the look of that), interest started to be raised......... When the dea

    I use a Nitesight which work well on the gun but stupid money but there is another gun mounted unit which is about £125ish, my pal has a couple of these and really rates them. The LE-032 is the one my pal has. night vision range finder | eBay WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find great deals on eBay for night vision range finder. Shop with confidence. Phil

    Who are you dealing with for RTI guns in your area. Phil

    'I wouldn't have an FX given'........................Don't worry Kalibrgun, I have no intention of ever giving you an FX. ? I have had 5 FX guns and found them ALL to be both accurate and great to use. Never seen a Prophet in any shop near me, I can't say they offer great value as they are in the same price bracket as the Wildcat, Impact and Crown but without the looks. I assume they are better than the Priest as they were shite which is why a couple of shops near me stopped selling RTI as most were sent back. We all like different things but I by far prefer the FX every day of th

    It would be wrong to say there were faults but both my pal and myself had to send ours back with power issues. Mine had quite a few faults and I would not accept it back so the rfd sold it on after sorting the problems at Hull Cartridge but my pal kept his afer correcting the fault and he still has it now. There have been a number of power issues but not every rifle, there seems to be some batches that have some faults and not others. The laminate version was my third 110k and the only one to have faults. Just watch out for power problems, if you have a chrono, just keep doing a few che

    HW rifles in fac are not very well rated so a no go Jason, sub 12 are great though and I am covered in sub 12 with the P35 which is spot on despite what some people think. Phil

    As one or two of you know, I have been toying with getting a new Crown .22 fac and in the process selling my Impact .25 fac. The original idea was to have my Wildcat .22 fac compact, as my pellet gun with certain applications and the Crown as my slug gun but when I was in the shop earlier in the week, my pal was doing some pellet tests in his Crown .22 fac and whilst he has had it for a month or two, I had not got round to shooting it. I was quite taken a back by the length of the barrel with the mod fitted, god only knows what a 700mm barrel would be like as this was a 500mm barrel and

    To be honest I don't know why the shop didn't fill it before you left the shop so they would know if there was an issue, never come across a shop that didn't test fill a new gun. Phil

    Does that make you feel better Jake ?? Phil

    Far better than that bloody awful Kral thing. I took one into the range today as a matter of interest to set the scope up for a chap in the shop, 25mt perfect pellet on pellet, made me miss my old .177 compact version. Phil

    They are a lovely looking gun, not the lightest gun out there but very nice indeed. Phil

    Strangely enough my two 'K' versions were as good as gold, never a hint of trouble but when I got the 'K' laminate, power level went crazy almost from the start to the point that I was not prepared to take it back. Phil

    Completely agree, I enjoyed the black ones I had but just could not get on with the laminate stock, wish I had never sold my last black .177. Phil

    I have missed the past couple of years due to covid and the desire to keep my distance from crouded places, I think Trish and myself are going this year still masked (which some of you buggers may say is the best way to see me) but at least the halls are not normally packed solid unlike the 'Game Fair' so we are think it may be worth a punt. Dates are May 7th & 8th with advanced tickets at £13 each so still a cheap day out. Anyone up for a visit........... Phil
