- How Would i spend £1500 on a shotgun?
Here’s how!
80’s-90’s reliable sporter
Custom stock
Teague chokes
Go play!
How would you spend yours?
Of course I have the ability to fix it, and a spare gun if it breaks, but that’s not that important 👀

Anybody can pick up a gun and shoot 70% , really Johnny?
After a couple years and I'm still striving for 70 %.
Me too on occasion!
Would you ever do a factory tour of teague ?
That is exactly what I am thinking of doing. I already have a B525 32 inch multichokes, buy at 800€ GTI, Ultra or 425 fixed chokes and have a custom-made buttstock made for both...the best of both worlds ;)
I've just been given a beretta 680 trap by my grandad. Fantastic gun and no sign of wear at all even though it's shot thousands of cartridges
Johnny now I'm looking for a GTI only because it would be a challenge to find one. 2nd your putting on another fine tutorial here. I do like the new custom stock it's a shame you cannot get the forearm to match. But like you said you cannot see the gun when your clays are dust....
P.S. Congratulations on your new born baby
if only there was a video about this process...
My first true sporter was a Browning GTI. It was the first generation with the red lettering. It had 28" barrels and the beavertail fore arm. I shot a lot of clays and killed a lot of doves with that gun.
BTW, did I hear you mention a wife and baby? There goes the shooting!
You have to give up fiddling with that safety! You gonna wear it out before the firing pins wear out! 😂
Weeeeeellllll, I would certainly like to spend 1.5k on a shotgun, if only buying my rifle didn't kill the budget for the forseeable future. So I'm not buying one at all for now to avoid buying twice. Really looking forward to getting back to clay tho, had lots of fun AND hateful screeching with those during training :D Great vid as always!
Looking good for less 👌
And fitting well also ,not all of us can splash vast amounts of cash ,so this looks like a perfect compromise. Nice video . keep up the grand work 👏 👍🏼
Good luck with the new member of the family. I can empathise!
You should do a video of what’s in your gun cabinet
Great video Jonny, will be in the same boat within the next 4 weeks of buying my first gun for around £1500. I've tried a 725 and silver pigeon at my local clay ground and definitely found the Beretta wasn't for me, however I got on well with a W&S on my beaters day. Love the channel dude
Hi Peter, if you can try out a yildiz pro black.
I have one after owning beretta’s and it’s the best fitting and balanced gun I have shot! Stunning wood and I paid less than £1500 2nd hand. Honestly they are brilliant
@@TargetBreaker1234 hi, thanks for the advise. The clay ground did say to me about going and looking the , think they are £1800 new? Not opposed to second hand at all, I just worry that a Turk gun won't last me the years a browning will? Being my first gun, I can't see me ever parting with it even if it eventually just sits in the cabinet. Are those the ones based around a perazzi?
Hey Peter - you could do worse than a Miroku MK38 - not expensive new - around £1500 - £1700 for a Grade 1 but plenty of good ones on the second hand market as well...just thoughts...
@@solentflyerparagliding thanks mate, I plan to visit a few local shops to me and hold a few, see what fits and what feels comfortable
@@peterheath8618 try one! you will then know what i mean!
Hell I like these videos!!!
Mega vid! I was going to do the same with an old Beretta 682!
(And an old W&S 400!)
Really interested in the process of obtaining a stock from those guys. I'd happily pay for something like that on my shagged miruke
Have a look at this video - these are my guns - Manuel Ricardo on my MK38 Trap guns...❤❤❤

Always a great soundtrack Johnny 🙏
The second hand market is full of diamonds if you know what to look for, 1500 quid can get you into some epic guns, and lets face it new guns mostly feel like came out of packets at asda
As someone who lives 200 yards from an Asda, I think Asda might be a bit harsh - Tesco is a fairer comparison
Thanks
Ultimately, expensive tools don’t compensate for poor skills. As a present day 50 over 50 shooter the guns I shot were never the limiting factor, only practice.
JC I think we'd all be interested a yearly review of your cabinet. So do that please.
Not sure that will ever happen....his missus does have the internet!!
@@adriantyler6911 hehehe fair point, but since he's in the trade I would think she might be a bit more lenient than some of ours!
She is lenient, but perhaps wouldn’t be ongoing when she saw the full force of the cabinet!
My first gun was a GTI ultra s. Loved it and wish I kept it now.
Had one myself 2 months after they came on the market, my shooting improved 5 fold within a month, then I tripped over a few bob and part exed it for a Perazzi MX2000, which I still have along with bruise on my shin where I kicked myself for letting the GTI go
My Dad bought me a Hudson 20-bore side by side on my 13th Birthday Nice little starter gun. I loved it and respected everything about shooting. Times were different back then in the uk. I had to give it to a family friend when the laws changed. Always wondered if he hung onto it....
Lovely wood, best of luck with her. Looks like they had to use a complete tree in the making of that long stock LOL.
Great video JC - so pleased to see Manuel Ricardo appearing again and I still love my stocks that he made...lockdown has changed us all a little bit and I have become a bit more gravitationally challenged so really pleased with the MR stocks and tuning them in for a slightly different shape now...cannot recommend Manuel Ricardo enough and whilst a visit to Portugal is possible now and discounted hotel rates can be provided locally by them, the online ordering works well if you can't get out there. New stock and fore end made and fitted in 4 - 5 days and a holiday to boot...well worth it..!👍🥇
Really ? 4-5 days ?I ordered mine more than two months ago through a fitter and it will take i was told three months
It’s a bit quicker if you get on a ✈️ and see them in person.
That are also extremely busy nowadays from what I understand
@@angelos8958 JC is correct - if you visit in person then 4-5 days but not sure of the online process
@@tgsoutdoors yeah probably this is the case. They are surely extremely busy
@@tgsoutdoors How come only Freemasons and Farmers and well connected people from certain bloodlines can own guns in this Country?
You all make out like anyone can get a shotgun licence. Eg: There is no valid reason why I shouldn't be issued a licence. But It only take one Policeman, MP or Media type in the system to take a dislike to to you and you have no chance at all of ever owning one.
This is the 100% Truth about shotgun and Firearms Licensing in the UK.
PS: My Mummy doesn't even have a Stables or a Range Rover Vogue Either.. Perhaps If that was the case I could get a Licence... WOT WOT WOT !! Tally Ho!
Down the Lodge with the Bird Boys etc.
Wandered a little further and you would have had tanks too. 😁
Would have been a fun shoot out
Really good video, I think you can get alot of gun for £1500 secondhand, I'm just average so don't need a custom/adjustable stock so for that i got a Gold E.
I agree Browning makes the best shotguns.
Love my gti and would love to upgrade my stock too 👍 great video
great vid con grats on the littelun
I've had a handful of lesson and I'm shooting 78 percentage so I'm feeling quite good about that 😁
great video mate im saving madly for my first :D
How would ypu choose a new gun. I have a 686 Evo with a custom Monte stock. Seen a CG Invictus Ascent recently and very tempted but it is a big investment. Haven't had a go on one either...! So I suppose that's a must before shelling out the big bucks for a new toy.
I did a similar thing.... have a Beretta SV10 Prevail 3 and a Beretta Silver Pigeon 2, saw a CG Summit Ascent and just bought it without trying it. Tried for 3 months straight with the CG but I never got anywhere near my normal sporting or DTL Scores (I usually shoot 85 - 90 / 100 with the Berettas) the CG i was taking 65-70 at best each weekend. Eventually I just sold the CG and took the loss that came with it. Lesson learnt.... try a gun before just buying it !
Those ascents are lovely guns, but it does seem that they are marmite in the shooting.
I have a theory they are too easy to shoot, and make you overly complacent in your mount and movements
What do you mean by ‘shopping right’ and getting them for £1500? What kind of grade/ specs would that involve? I think these are a great option, particularly for ladies like myself when gun fit can be hard to achieve at the right price (I don’t tend to get on with guns marketed solely to ladies). Very tempting.
I’ll do a members video on it 😊
@@tgsoutdoors Top man, thank you!
So are the GTi and Mk38 action rears the same shape so the Ricardo stock was a direct transfer? What other makes can allow a stock transfer? Having a bespoke stock that can move as my wallet and skill set improves sounds interesting.
Ditto
Within reason, and with minor fitting most 325,425,525 and Mirokus are interchangeable.
Beretta 68X’s are mostly interchangeable as well.
Other than that, it‘s not that easy to change.
@@tgsoutdoors many thanks TGS, Happy Easter!
nice gun man
OR.... you could buy a yildiz pro, some sandpaper, linseed oil and shape it to fit yourself... but you need some mechanical and cabinetry skills
When I was in the gun shop I tried to get a run of Pro’s with headed up blanks ready for fitting. Reality struck that most would t pay for the shaping or be capable of doing it themselves.
I recently bought one of these in mint condition. Barely used, I'd say it's been fired less than 500 times, for £995 (trade). Was that fair money?
Very fair for a mint GTi
Ask Ed for a lend of his mankini.
It would need a high latex content to fit Jonny 🤔🤣🤣🤣
@@ddoherty5956 apparently gold lamè stretches just fine.
@@snook1249 I'd have to see the tensile test data 😉
👍
My initials match if your ever selling!
hellow man how r u? i am from bangladesh.hunting is my favourite hobby. tgs my favourite channel. i have a single barrel shotgun, that is stevens.that was my fathers and grandpas gun. this is very old gun, that model 107/b. actually i am very interested for many types of shotgun cartrides. my collection eley alphamax, grandprix, eley magnum, remington express, remington sure shot, remington nitro magnam, viri france, yavasca turkey mini magnum and full magum, winchester, rottweil etc. please u make a episode turkish made shotgun cartridges, i am very interested for that.
How long did it take for MR for one click Stock?
Is that the first gun you got after taking lessons with a Gti and buying the not exact gun you had lessons with but similar.....
Unfortunately not, I was talked out of my first GTI. This is me attempting to relive my teen years.
is 410 in a shortage in the UK? here in the US 410 is impossible to find still.
They were very popular back in the 80's and 90's so there are still plenty floating about. It's a sort of under the bed kind of gun...:)
your gun needs a lock...
Only recently started 42% is my best so far 😂
Won’t be long until you are chasing 70’s
@@tgsoutdoors I do hope so 🙏
How long are those barrels?
32”
Is it a 32" version???? Cheers
It is
can i ask what vest you have on?
It’s a Laksen Firle. Discontinued this year unfortunately but replaced with a prettier tweed
Back in the pit again??
Manuel Ricardo é Careiro e muito Manhoso
just buy a 525....der...
Hmm…. No
@@tgsoutdoors hmm....yes! gti my arse.
I like my women to be front heavy.

How come only Freemasons and Farmers and well connected people from certain bloodlines can own guns in this Country?

This is the 100% Truth about shotgun and Firearms Licensing in the UK.
PS: If you are lucky enough to have a licence for both for Shotgun & Firearms, NEVER PUT THEM BOTH ON THAT NEW JOINT LICENSE THEY HAVE COME OUT WITH!!!
The Reason should be very obvious why...
Anyone who claims I am not speaking the 100% factual truth please reply to this comment with your evidence of why I am wrong.... Thankyou.
What ranting rubbish...err....I am the son of a plumber and a Nurse, not a farmer or freemason, I work for the NHS and am married to an secretary and live in a town...if you are of good standing, no criminal record and have a valid reason to own a shotgun i.e. clay shooting club member, pest control or crop protection and have no medical issues then anyone can apply for a certificate - I would suggest attitude and opinions such as this do you no favours and it seems that your post was made to generate controversy and will be considered somewhat laughable by the majority of the responsible certificate holding community....have you thought about golf...?
Unfortunately you are wrong, the proof is it's not down to you to prove you're good enough to have a shotgun, it's up to the police to prove you shouldn't have one, that's a well know fact any owner will tell you.
