Red finished action with Scope / Red Dot dovetail mounting points and matching coloured forend / magazine tube cap. Overall the gun comes in at 51” (1295mm) long when made up and tips scales at 7 Lbs 4 ½ oz (3.306 Kg).
Complete with the original Take Down Hard Carry Case which houses the second light or heavy weight cartridge piston option. As such ready to go with light as well as the heaviest of loads in lead, steel or any other material. Also included is a full compliment of three Invector Plus Choke tubes. Full, Half and Cylinder.
ALSO: Please consider the gun is just back after a full and complete repair / re-build and service by Browning UK. That itself COST IN EXCESS of £250. You are welcome to a copy of the invoice when you buy the gun. As such, please do not start asking for discounts. It’s a CHEAP example given condition, complete and overall outlay. Its basically as near brand new as you can get other than actually exactly that.

THE STEEL SHOT DEBACLE?
FIRST THING: Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream. Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more Non-Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern-day shooting. IF it’s so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters, how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:
NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
