Your favourite shotgun...... ?

[farrieral]

Favourite in the cabinet is my Great Grandfather's C G Bonehill hammer gun... the one I reach for pretty much all my shooting, from driven days to pigeon decoying alike is the cheap and nasty Kofs 28 bore

Mossbergs are great. I borrow a 535 every so often and it is great

Hits stuff with it too.

Not as often as one would like...

Quite partial to a pump action also. Especially the Winchester action. The Winchester action ejects itself. One only has to shut it to fire again.

Went clay shooting this morning giving my T Wild hammer gun it's Annual once a year outing. The next team following us one of the guns was giving his W Richards hammer gun it's once a year outing too. So two guns with over two hundred years total under thier belts and still up to the job. One sarcastic person asked if we had had the guns from new

My blaser super sport. The high rib isn’t to everyone’s taste but with my bad neck which resembles a malnourished giraffe shooting heads up is painless.

Nothing wrong with shooting head up. The Edwardians did it all the time.

Had a 1920's Arthur Howell of Birmingham with carved fences very similar to yours. Lovely lightweight gun & wished as always I'd never sold it.

Now on a nostalgia trip.... I've just picked up a Baikal single again, the first shotgun I ever owned & bought in 1975. Shot everything with that, using Eley Grand Prix 30g no.5 - the only cartridges available at our local ironmongers. Shot like a rifle with its' super full choke!

Same here. A few years ago I had a few on a nostalgia trip, and a 20g.
One I had I was shooting pigeon with and notice it was shooting low a touch so I took it apart and bent the barrel a touch. Spot on after. Love'm I do.

Beretta 695
Well balanced and well built. Hoping it’s the last game gun I ever buy.

Mirouk mk38 grade 5 Teagued sporter, my favourite as I can actually hit things with it!

I love the closing action on the ZH series BRNO u/o guns.
The breach block slides back to unlock as you open it. And they are hugely strong, as they were optionally sold with combination barrels, so built for rifle pressures.
Styling it very 70's 'soviet' looking.
Double trigger and non ejector, so they go for no money. Have picked them up from the local auction. Fiver or tenner a time. But they are actually selectable on the rear trigger, which no-one seems to know.
Seem to have ended up with four of the buggers now.

Yeah those and the Benelli's really pop back smoothly (Think something to do with how the bolt head rotates..?)

Scrummy

Yes there is a spring that acts on the rotation cam
So as soon as the action is unlocked via the trigger group residual pressure in the barrel pops the bolt back.
