Combo guns anyone else into them?
« on: July 30, 2017, 10:19:19 AM »
This past winter I imported a set of skeet barrels for my BRNO combo gun.  What a trial being an unlicenced importer it took me three months of wrangling with the ATF to get an import permit.  But in the end I didn't lose my temper and finally got the import permit.  I started the import process in January, and finally got the barrels last month and they fit perfect.

Last weekend I shot in a DU benifit Sporting Clays shoot, I had a great time I drug out a old Win 101, it turned 51 years old this summer and was able to break a bunch of clays, I missed 14 out of 16 birds on the first two stations but ended up with 58 out of a hundred. I only shoot SC once or twice a year. 

I hadn't fired the BRNO with the skeet barrels yet and had a few birds left on my card so I shot it on the first two stations I did so miserably on and broke 13 of the 16.  After the festivities were over I took it down to the trap field and it posted a respectable 20 of 25 shooting my light 7/8 oz loads.  I'm liking this set of barrels.

 

In the 1960's the Russians built what is called a TULA choke and cleaned our clocks at the Olympic, from what I've been told it was inspired by the Cutts Compensators the Americans had been using in past Olympics



I've been hunting a few years with this rig and it looks like it is going to be my go to travel rig 22 Savage Highpower(5.6x52R)/12ga and now the skeet barrels, should be great for justabout everything including waterfowl over decoys.



My longest kill this past season with the rifle barrel was 180 yards, the shortest was 6 feet after I rolled it at 40 yards with the shotgun barrel and it charged straight at me.

This one is pretty accurate also, an honest 300+ yard coyote rifle.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

My grandpa had one that I used as a kid growing up that was a .410/22lr  I believe it was a Remington, but I could be wrong.  Fun grouse gun, I loved that thing.
