side by sides

[shotup 9]

how many of us still use s/s regulary as thier first choice. im the only one on our shoot that does and rarely bump into fellows of the same breath. most if not all seem to be over and under men.i shoot an old C G BONEHILL that is a mint on shoot days and have a spanish for rough and foxing etc and quite happy with the pair of them.

[Simoman 110]

Mines an old Spanish Lauroma. Does the job on a variety of game and I prefer them to O/U. Although I usually get the dinosaur jokes when we are out.

[bshadle 5]

I own four s/s, two 20s and two 12s. One of each is choked full/modified and modified/improved. I love 'em and they're the first out of the cabinet. Nothing matches the lines, feel and handling of a s/s IMO.

 

I sometimes get the dinosaur jokes as well. I tell 'em dinosaurs were the undisputed rulers of the earth for over 50 million years and it took a catastrophe of Biblical proportions to wipe 'em out, so I'm honored to be compared to 'em.

I have an old LIG SbS 12bore that I use for rough shooting and sporting clays and I love the old thing, paid a massive £30 for it.

[mad al 146]

These were the only choice when I had shotguns and wouldn't hesitate buying another as a first gun

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

I use a s/s as well , dont really like over and unders . Ive also had a fair bit of ribbing about it but not bothered as shoot OK with it !!

 

Nothing special another Spanish job..

Good quote. S/S every time, traditional!

I have the best of both worlds with a Winchester 23, it' a traditional s/s but with a very high rib and it shoots like an o/u.

 

I love s/s but this is the only one that I have felt at ease with.

Seams a lot of us Lincolnshire lads have them then.

 

I have an AYA for trying to be posh with and an old Baikal non ejector for Fox control, choked tight as feck and is often reffered to as my Baikal rifle by those who are just plain jealous.

 

 

 

 

I got it from Coppins for £20, 9 years ago and won't be without it.

[Guest Lord B]

Side by side all the way. The list bellow says it all!

[v-max 2]

I have a SBS sable deluxe sidelock & only use it for keeper days or my own shoot odd days.I have a semi-auto for my main shooting form foxes to wildfowling on the foreshore.Only use my SBS max 5 times a year now but must admit i shot poorly with it last year keeper days.I have used it twice this year on my own shoot walked up & hardly missed with it so looking forward to keeper days with it.

Sadly Coppins no longer sell guns but still do good prices on cartridges. My side by side also came from Coppins, it's as rough as they come but I love it, and it's put plenty a meal on our table.

No, i don't like the c*nt

 

Only joking , i normally go to Colin's at Wragby when i'm out that way but i don't spend a great deal on shooting stuff, BB's, 1's or the odd 250 box of 4's for what i shoot toward .

 

My lad manages to spend more than me, have you seen how much .410 cartridges are

[Simoman 110]

A mate bought a S/S 410 this weekend, about £6 for a box of 25 he said Colins at Wragby, isn't that the tiny shop run by the old boy?
