SILMA SUPREME 12G OVER AND UNDER SHOTGUN.
Italian made 12g Silma Supreme Over and Under shotgun with WIDE OPEN, True Cylinder Fixed Skeet Chokes. They WILL also happily shoot any other discipline or live quarry too. It’s simply a slightly bigger pattern of shot at any set range.
Compact 26 1/4″ (665mm) barrels with standard 2 3/4″ (70mm) chambers. Handy when tucked in behind a hide or blind etc. where long barrels often prove a burden. Stock measures to 14 1/2″ (368mm) and combines to give an overall length at 43 5/8″ (1108mm). Scales show a relatively light 7 Lb 1 ½ oz (3.217 Kg) weight.
Bright finished Action with some nice borderline and some small panels of Scroll Engraving. A Single Trigger Box Lock Ejector which is also selectable for first barrel. Via the small push button seen on the trigger itself. Matt, Cross Cut 3/8″ (10mm) Ventilated Sight Rib with a single front bead. Elegant Tulip Style For-end.
In reality this is a more than decent and certainly cheap enough gun for anyone to get into shooting with. Left side of the stock has a very plane Strong Straight Grain to rest your cheek on. The right side ‘(on show)’ has some Great Pattern and Colour Contrast and makes for a Very Bonny gun.

As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:
FIRST THING: Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream). Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
