feels well made, light weight although 28 inch barrel compares B220's 20 inch,
good recoil pad and turglow type of fiber front sight much better than B220
button, lever and bolt operates much smooth than B220
ball bolt handle feels good
mag tube capacity is 4 rather than 5, and the new gun has a stick inside of the tube, limit the capacity to 2

Looks great mate. Would be better though if it was a 7+1 not a 4+1.

G'day SHV

Looks good...

Does the stock have a cast off to the butt...?

Also, can you remove the stick in the mag tube easy enough to increase the capacity back to 4...?
And then, is it limited to 4--/--do you know if there is room to make it 5...?

yes, it should be at least 5+1 rather than 4+1

it's very hard to tell but I believe the butt stock does have a little off-set after double check, it does feel very comfortable on shoulder easy to aim and it's dead on the target first shot
the stick in the mag tube is very easy to remove, just remove the fore end cap and put more than 3 round in the mag, the stick come out in front then you can pull it out and throw away in half second, for the 2 3/4 shells it can not fit the fifth round maybe it is ok for the 2 1/2.shells

OK thsanks SHV..

If you cant see any obvious cast by sighting down the gun from the muzzle, holding a straight edge down the centre of the rib that extends down over the comb should make it very obvious.
Sorry if im telling what you already know...im just keen to know for sure...although i cant get one yet, im keen on accquiring a straight pull as soon as i can, & we dont get a full range of whats available over here...

Ive shouldered a straight pull that has no cast at all & its just horrible...i wouldnt hit a thing with it unless it was travelling my left to right at the same speed & angle every time...

front sight, it is not the brightest one but it does show some light gathering capability

from what l have seen of the huglu's they are a well made shotty
l like the camo on this one and am interested in here more about this one in the field

[TassieTiger]

Don’t put it down amongst the bracken to clean your quarry - might be an entertaining half hour...
Sam - where’s the shottie?
SHV - I put it right there.
Sam - bulldust. It’s not there.
SHV - Farkin was, what have you done with it?
Sam - I didn’t touch it, arsehat.
SHV - fark you, don’t call me arsehst!
Sam - yeah?
SHV - yeah, you want some ?

Oh, here it is...

You shouldnt jest Tassie...it causes a little PTSD in me to stir...ive had that happen twice with camo stocked stainless rifle...
To have a couple of people not see a rifle leaning against a shrub right in front of them for two minutes, & make suggestions you must have put it elsewhere, even when they know what they are looking for is funny to see...
But it gets distressing when youve walked off 20 metres in thick scrub & have to go back to look for it--you have to do a mini sweeping transect to find it...

Its amazing how good the realtree print i have on mine actually is in mallee scrub...

Is it customary to decapitate the game after you shoot it.

Do love that camo
