Kit special this week looks at sporting guns that we love the most. Here’s a quick review
of the most popular secondhand guns on the new website GunsDirect.co.uk.
Starting with fullbore rifles and forget deer – the most viewed rifle on the site is a
foxshooters’ favourite: a new Savage Axis in .22-250, priced at £550. It has a Weaver
8x56 Classic K Series Scope, Weaver Mounts, Edgar Brothers Bi-pod and it is screw cut
for a moderator. At the Bic biro end of the rifle world, the Axis does not come with Savage’s
popular Accutrigger.
Most popular shotgun is a £350 Beretta. The 302 three-shot multi-choke wVas replaced in
the 1980s by the 303, which in turn is now transmogrified into the 391. The 302’s advantage
is, like the one-stroke engine in a Breton fishing vessel, it will continue to *** away
in any weather and even as it goes down with all hands.
Top airgun choice on GunsDirect.co.uk is a BSA Mercury .22 for just £145. Launched in
1972, the Mercury is one up on specification from the BSA Meteor, which has sold 2 million
worldwide.
That is it. Feast your eyes, fish into your pockets. Thanks for watching. This is Kit
Special.
