    Yea mate I bought one in Lakeland , still waiting on the licence but got a day clays out of it and I'm impressed so far ,

    I like the easy quick load system , recoil is nice , I find it easy to get back on target .

    U get a gud bit of kit with it too

    I'm happy out

    Did you get a good deal from Lakelands as everything seems on the expensive side and they're hard work to do a deal with?

    I have the sporting version and find it excellent it cycles everything I've put through it and is a quality bit of kit.

    I remember reading the article about the gun in sporting gun when it first arrived in the uk, and taught to myself I want it, ha so I did, got it through Liam in courtlough, sound to deal with, traded in a gun and gave me a real fair price on it, I went with grade 3 and have to say it is a fantastic looking piece of kit, will cycle almost anything from 24g to 50g with absoutle ease, easy to maintain, u can adjust the pull length and stock length, I only really use it for game, but have **** a few clays with it, my only complaint would be the barrel heating up quickly if the pigeons are coming thick and fast, have heard one or two complain about having to replace the firing pin spring, but was down to them putting a few hundred cartridges threw it in rapid succession! Anyway I can't really talk highly enough about the gun, but it will come down to how u feel with it in your hands

    I bought a black synthetic one its a nice gun and I love the handling of it. haven't used it much wanted to get out for a few pigeons with it but the license didn't come in time .

    Got a few duck with it but had a couple of bad misses on pheasants and started bringing out my old faithful Side by side instead.

    Will have to try it on a pattern plate at some stage before I bring it out again. Shooting times gave them a good review in January, the reviewer also said it through the patterns a bit high, that's probably why I was missing too!:o

    I wouldn't be paying anymore than 1450 for a new one. I was quoted as high as 1750 by one chancer.

    I like the auto loading function and the magazine cut off.
