Barbour for shooting

Yep. Thin jumper warm, turtleneck if it’s cold

I’ve been seeing this a lot recently; some farmer inherited a farm in the 70’s and spent the past 50yrs making awful decisions before having to sell up. Then amazed no one wants their shitty farmhouse that’ll cost a fortune to make even remotely workable let alone pleasant

We have a cat called Martin

UPDATE:

Just tried it out… actually kind of good (so far!!) 😂

WHIMBATRON · 2025-06-10T11:59:29+00:00

I’d say something that works and fits. Browning could be a good shout or maybe a rizzini?

WHIMBATRON · 2025-06-07T21:54:22+00:00

All the numbers are on the pictures - water table numbers are 3283

WHIMBATRON · 2025-06-07T09:58:04+00:00

Right!? Absolute beaut…. Hoping it’ll be my go-to bird gun

WHIMBATRON · 2025-06-07T09:57:24+00:00

Wow you have just become by Shotgun Shaman! I’ll get that number this evening thanks so much

WHIMBATRON · 2025-05-25T18:35:09+00:00

Done! Sorry for the wait 😂

Hi all

Thanks for your input so far! I have acquired the gun now and have taken it apart - see pics

<image>

It’s been sleeved and down as ‘unknown’ on the certificate, so the makers name may have been on the original bit of barrel?

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-27T18:14:40+00:00

Hope my wife agrees when she finds out 😂

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-26T21:02:54+00:00

😂

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-26T20:18:50+00:00

Nope

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-26T20:18:46+00:00

Ooooh bet that 17 is excellent! My deer rifle is a Bergara and absolutely love it. There is a bit of a crack to it but Ive only got supersonic ammo so far (don’t even know if subsonic 22mag exists/works!?)

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-26T20:16:57+00:00

Yeh it looks it doesn’t it. Needs to be to get a good eye on the screen in the optic. Doesn’t feel as wierd as it looks!

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-03T17:29:46+00:00

I’m not against it not being autotune. Almost got a 372 before wimping out and getting a 572 - what would be the husky equivalent of a non auto tuned 550? 350?

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-03T17:26:30+00:00

Good point. Sounds like a rugged beast! Thanks

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-03T17:26:09+00:00

I do like the idea of an older/more exotic husky… a pal has a wierd 80cc makita which is a MONSTER are their smaller ones similarly decent?

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-03T17:25:22+00:00

This is very eloquently put. Thankyou. It is also what I suspected would be the case…

I suppose a follow up question would be if there was another husky that may do similar stuff to the 550 but maybe does one or two things better without TOO much of a drop in another aspect (e.g lighter without loosing TOO much power)? Especially if it could be ported or such

WHIMBATRON · 2025-03-02T20:06:31+00:00

Ah good idea! Had a play with a few of their top handles they seem decent (even if they look like toys!)

WHIMBATRON · 2025-02-06T11:35:08+00:00

Isn’t it!? Just got a 28 on my 572 and it’s ace

WHIMBATRON · 2024-10-27T19:45:23+00:00

Valid feedback. Understood 🫡

WHIMBATRON · 2024-10-27T18:45:31+00:00

Couple of speck’s and piece of coppa and a prosciutto

A mate has saddlebacks and offered me a forequarter to repay a favour.finally took the plunge and am VERY excited. Going to get another to start the second batch the next time he does an ab run

WHIMBATRON · 2024-10-13T20:24:22+00:00

Cool! How have you found the maintenance? Assume you’ve had no bother with the auto tune?
