Very lucky guy.

I've always wanted a lovely English game gun. Perhaps a matched pair!

My Spanish Azhur similar to an AYA looks the goods but lacks key game gun attributes.

Quote:

Weighing a mid-weight 6lbs 9oz, it has been nitro-proof tested in Birmingham for standard 70mm cartridges. The barrels are choked Quarter in the right and Half in the left. These are sensible game-shooting options and would allow for the use of standard steel shot cartridges, if necessary.




A game gun should be light, 6 or 7 lbs. And open choked, No more than half in the second barrel.

So many side by sides are heavier. And way too heavily choked, always half and full, often tighter.

From Kuduae's comments on German guns on another thread we know why.


A lovely light British open choked well balanced game gun shooting 28 or 30 GM loads, perfect.

As said this gun can shoot aweful steel shot.
