I'm going to give my Simson Suhl 12-bore side by side, previously mentioned, a go with Brenneckes, slugs and buck shot sizes. Have to see what I can buy. See how it performs at different ranges. I'll take some photos of it. It only has a bead for sights. I'll see how BBs perform in it first. It's fox drive season for the local fox drive group. Instead of my Greener Empire 12b SS, I'll give the Simson a try. I don't really use it now. It's my first shotgun by one or two weeks! Before the Azhur. So maybe a purpose for it. Add some sling swivels. Easy to carry long distances but only when not driving. Some guys and girls walk in a line in bush and up and down hills. In total maybe 10 to 20 km per day. Three to five days on weekends. Others stand in a blocking line. Several drives in a day. I'll probably block mainly this year. Or some easier drives walking. I've got some injury issues at the moment. The gun is plain so rougher shooting isn't a worry for it. The tight chokes might work well for longer shots on foxes. Some shots on cardboard will tell. Also see how well I swing it on some clays with small shot. Rabbits are always good practice. As said later add sling swivels, maybe look at some sort of rifle sights on it. Maybe a flip up rear v sight? Even bases for scope mounts? Depends on its performance. I'd be interested in comments on how shot shotgunning performs with a blade front side versus a bead. I can probably tell myself! Using my Tikka/Valmet combination barrels which have blade front sights. |
