allan450

I'm not trying to put a damper on things, neither am I attempting to paint you as anything you're not,I'm a strong believer in leaving the countryside as I found it,seeing it being littered is against all I believe in,my response to your vid is entirely understandable in this context.

allan450

ya well look at the rest of clips you will see.we all lose the cool now and again and regret things after.

Nice going chief. What gun did ya change to ? Have a 20 bore AYA no.3 myself.

allan450

iv a browning sporter 12g and the 20 gauge is a lincoln premier gold.id have 20 gauge any day over the 12g.

dodderangler

Is there much of a diff in the shooting of the two

kermitpwee

My uncle has the same Lincoln 20 bore. Great gun tbh. Way better than I thought it would be. Think he paid 600 for his s/h a few years ago it was mint.

Nice clips there Allan I got a 20 bore myself and will always shoot with it love it it's has 30 in barrels.

allan450

i forgot to get shells for it the last day so was shooting 4/5 at woodcock not ideal.but il bring it out again when i get used to it[few mins of clays].lads seem to think the 20 bore is not as effective as a 12g.Their is little to no difference if them at all.The 20 has a tighter pattern as for range no difference at all.The only time it would let you down is shooting geese.if i was to have 1 gun out of my semi-auto, browning,or 20g id pick the 20g.

sniper83

Fair play for uploading the missed shots lad, do you have the 20g long? we had a savage day yesterday, met a lot of woodcock!! I was sick when I got up in the morning as I forgot to charge the bloody hatcam!

RICKYD

Whats the 20 bores like weightwise allan?is ammo easily got 4it?ive a bettinsoli & its a fair dog of a yoke 2 carry around allday after wcock.id love a lightweight game gun

allan450

its light mate very light.after a day shooting with it and you pick up a 12g you will notice a massive difference.well i do with my 2 anyway.some models will vary weight wise.try one the next time your at your dealers.As for ammo much the same iv got 4s all the way up to 9s which in my eyes is suitable for all game birds bar geese.

270WIN

great videos there...would love to be meeting woodcock in them numbers!
I had a 20 bore beretta o/u..very light and i found with 20 bores that you either missed clean or hit em hard..would love to get one again but i reckon 30inch barrells improve their handling no end..28 inch barrells make em too fast and hard to swing properly

allan450

put up alot of woodcock that day alright.nice frosty morning seen in and around 35 birds that day.Havent seen as many since though.When its mild they get well scattered.cant wait for hard frost.

hi allan450, what would your choice be in a 20g for game.
A sporter multi choke or a fixed game gun.

blackpearl

what grams do you use in shells.
