Out & About

I am often asked about the Titanium Fabbri’s @fa

I am often asked about the Titanium Fabbri’s @fabbri_uk and what they are like to shoot. The gun I am shooting here were built to be grouse guns, at a mere 6lb 13oz. They are 30 inch choked 6/10 and 6/10 and super fast, my preference is for 31 1/2 inch barrels which incidentally can still made to be exactly the same weight as the 30 inch barrels. The length just slows the gun down slightly.

@calvertsporting Next up... Mrs C! @pennycalvert P

@calvertsporting Next up... Mrs C! @pennycalvert Penny and Adam built this highly customised pair of @browningshotguns B1 Lightweight Game 12ga... 27.5” barrels with fixed choking make for exceptionally fast and decisive handling whilst the stock work is entirely custom courtesy of measurements from @adamcalvert1 and stock blanks supplied and shaped by @manuelricardo_official and then oil finished and re-chequered here in the U.K. by the very talented @gunmaker1 ! The stocks are finished off with Isis recoil pads covered with Goat Skin Leather! The features we love on these guns are the Golden Dragons embedded in the stocks, part of Mrs C’s family crest and earning the guns their nicknames of “the Dragon Slayers!” 🐉 For more information on custom guns and the services mentioned above check out www.calvertsporting.co.uk and visit “Custom Guns” or email info@calvertsporting.co.uk... #browning #b1lightweightgame #customguns #customfitted #adamcalvertgunfitting #manuelricardostock #creativeart #mrsc #theboss #gameguns #pairsofguns #calvertsporting #britishgamealliance #hullcartridgecompany #fabbrishotguns

All those who thought that the lead phase out would never come, here we are driven by the consumer a clear sign that the industry needs to change.

@britishgamealliance This morning the NGDA has announced that its members will no longer be accepting lead-shot game from July 2022. The British Game Alliance is ready to support its shoots and its registered processors through this important transition. Link in bio.

@calvertsporting “What do we shoot?” Matt shoo

@calvertsporting “What do we shoot?” Matt shoots a @browningshotguns B525 Sporter One 32” with a stock altered to his measurements using @adamcalvert1 gun-fit measurements & alterations from one of our team of gunsmiths, the stock has a 15 & 3/4” length of pull! This was achieved using an ebonite spacer & a thick Kick-eez recoil pad... Matt has also fitted the flush-fitting @teaguechokes long titanium chokes in 5/8 & 5/8 which he says take the weight out of the muzzle & make the gun handle like a fixed choke gun which is appreciated on a gun weighing over eight & a half pounds! Here at Calvert Sporting we can supply, fit, alter & modify most guns to suit our clients, for more information on these services visit www.calvertsporting.co.uk or contact info@calvertsporting.co.uk #whatweshoot #calvertsporting #browningshotguns #browningb525 #workhorse #browningreliability #fittedguns #customguns #teagueprecisionchokes #calvertsportinggunroom #gunroom #instruction #gunfitting #britishgamealliance #hullcartridgecompany #fabbrishotguns

@calvertsporting 🛑 STOP PRESS 🛑 This is a phenomenal pair of @perazzi.uk ready for someone to use... This pair of Perazzi MX12 SC3 grade come with 29.5” barrels without the side ribs, you will NOT find a lighter pair of Perazzi barrels! They are bored 18.4 for maximum performance with fibre wadded cartridges and have tapered top ribs tapering from 11mm to 7mm. The guns also come with no fewer than 6 @teaguechokes long, flush fit chokes for each gun each of which have been regulated to specific @hullcartridgecompany loads... They also benefit from having being recently re-stocked with the stocks and forends finished in a London oil finish giving an attractive glossy appearance. A real pair of wands between the hands! Enquire now before they go! info@calvertsporting.co.uk, 01235834441, www.calvertsporting, or dealer search “Calvert Sporting” on @guntrader.uk #perazzi #perazzimx12 #perazziuk #perazzisc3 #pairsofguns #gameguns #grouseguns #homeofpairs #customguns #restocking #gunfitting #shootinginstruction #infieldinstruction #britishgamealliance #fabbrishotguns #hullcartridgecompany

Tourism Minister Nigel Huddleston said "This new industry standard will show people that tourism businesses, destinations and attractions are adhering to the guidance. It puts safety first and is an important move in getting this industry back up and running."

This is a nice piece of kit just in! @caesargueri
