BRNO 12G OVER AND UNDER NONE EJECTOR SHOTGUN.
12G Over and Under Double Trigger None Ejector Box Lock ZH 301 BRNO Shotgun.
YES…a NONE EJECTOR….WOW!
HOWEVER…THIS ALSO WORKS AS A SINGLE TRIGGER GUN by using the rear trigger for both barrels….Actually Very cleverly and REALLY well made !
Guns like this are by far the best option for the vast majority. Most of the we ALL block the spent cartridges from flying out when we break a gun open. Lift the empty cases out of the chambers and drop them into the ‘used’ pocket. SO much easier than having to bend over and search the undergrowth. Especially when that is generally cold, wet and muddy to be scrabbling about in!
BACK TO THE GUN.
This is a model ZH301. It weighs in at 7lbs 6 1/2oz (3.36Kg) and comes with 27 5/8” (700mm) barrels. They are topped by a 9mm rib with fixed chokes at Full and Full. Ideal for anyone who wants to take shots at the limit of range with as tight a choke as possible. The gun has 2 ¾” (70mm) chambers and a treble point locking action finished in black. There is some embossed scroll work and forest scenes. A Roe deer to the left and flying pheasant to the right. The inch recoil pad fitted gives the overall pull length at 15 ½” (394mm). Fox / Skip cut chequering ALWAYS sets a stock off and this is near straight, possibly even slightly cast left. A manual safety incorporated in the trigger guard and ‘European / Continental’ style sling swivels finish the spec. off.
All in all these are actually very well engineered and equally well made. They are even designed with the option of swapping out barrels. I did have a spare set with fully ported muzzles, choked wide open with cylinder and cylinder. Basically designed for shooting solid slug at driven game or anything else! They have now sold.

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. APPARENTLY 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, TRY and help speed up availability. I WILL suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then 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.
