I have a SKB 605 from 1990,when I bought it from the gun shop that was closing down the owner said to me you’re an engineer look at how it’s been put together compared to a Beretta686 which was the same price and I thought it was better made.Still have it as my main game gun.
Absobloodylutely! Tank like 500 action with some added pretty. They really are quality things. My 505 was owned by a sponsored shooter who made national colours in the 90s. He shot it 'quite a bit' and it's still tight as a drum.
23:00 My grandfather had such a gun. Very durable. In the museum where this gun was made .. there is a gun by Yuri Tsuranov .. an eleven-time world champion in clay shooting .. His gun withstood 1,000,000 shots!
Jonny, if you weren't already loaded up with personally fitted O/U's, I'd buy that SKB and run like you stole it. I find the SKB locking system brutally elegant. Not the smoothest view from the rear, but definitely low profile. The "5" in the tail end of the model # denotes choke tubes, and a set of extended tubes would help counterbalance the butt a bit. Don't see many sideplate SKB's over here, either. I expect it'd fetch $1500 🇺🇸 or so.
If you can get one, and in a calibre you like, you'll love it and everything it represents. 1 shot. 1 kill. Inherently much shorter overall for comparable barrel lengths because of the short drop breechblock action. Super strong and safe. I have 3, and love them. If you're in S.A., try looking up a No.1 S in 9.3x62 ( My moose rifle). Shoots 1/3 MOA with Norma Factory Swift A-Frames. My other 2 are a .300 Win.Mag with a heavy 27" barrel and profiled muzzle-break for long-range Dall Sheep/ Mountain Goats or prairie pronghorns... and a No.1 RSI with a fullstock Mannlicher style stock in .275 Rigby/ 7x57 Mauser. It's a sweet little short bush-rifle, that's super easy to carry, and mount for fast shots at stalked bush whitetails. You won't regret your choice, if you're not just a hunter, but you're a marksman. 1 shot, kinda puts it all on the line. ( If you DO want that fast second-shot, get a wrist bandoleer made up in leather with good elastic or tight straps and keep 2 rounds on your offhand front/forearm-wrist area.
@@scottcrawford3745 jis I am envious of you! I would love to hunt Dall Sheep have read and seen much of them. I am defenitly looking out for a Ruger no 1 in 375h&h. Good day to you
@@kraaidievoel Dall and Bighorn are very similar, but the Dall are more wiley and clever, with much better eyesight. Usually at least a 250-300+ yard shot in breezy-windy mountainous terrain. Depending on the game rules in S.A., I've heard that most countries in Africa allow the 9.3x62 as a suitable equivalent to the .375 H&H for nearly all dangerous game... You might find a 9.3 easier to obtain than a .375. I'm not positive, but I think Ruger did a few Special Limited Editions in the ..375 Flanged and the 9.3x74R as well. Those offer comparable ballistics to the non-rimmed ones.. perhaps a 5% reduction in overall muzzle energy. Best of luck with your search.
Sussex Armoury is what became Air Arms, there was as much more conventional looking sporter version of the same side lever action. Possibly the most "remarkable" Sussex innovation was a sub-calibre pellet design called the "Sussex Sabo" - a .20 boat-tail projectile that fitted in a .22in discarding plastic sabot.
@@tgsoutdoors The fluff in the magazines said so but then I don't think 1980s Airgun World ever said anything bad about anything - not even the early plastic air-cartridges. IIRC there were published figures for an increase in muzzle velocity but as the solid projectile was nearly as heavy as a standard hollow .22 I wonder if there weren't legal worries. They supposedly wouldn't work in my hand-me-down Airsporter because it was slightly choked (and anyway how do you clear an Airsporter if you get a lump of plastic stuck in the barrel?) so I never got to try them out. When I got a break-barrel a few years later and wanted to try them the design had already gone out of production.
I still have a box of those and the pen type installation tool,they were extremely fast and would go through both sides of a wooden beer crate at 30 yards.
Lol I shoot a mossberg 500 pump gun and rock 99% of the guys at the skeet range. Skeet choke, Fibre optic front sight.....Love shooting doubles with a pump. Don't need a 30k$ over under to smack a few clays.
Great vid but for the love of god can whoever edited it stop switching away to b roll that doesn't show what Johnny is talking about when hes showing something on the gun like the lockup mechanism or an issue on it etc. Very annoying not being able visualise it.
I was looking forward to this video but I am astounded at the speed of your speech . Really this just spoils the delivery of your knowledge . I know that you are like a child let loose in a toy shop but please sit down and listen .
USA here. I love this channel!!!!!! thank you so much.
Our pleasure

I agree about johnny's statement on rifles. Would love to see more of them
For 500£ i would buy that SKB in a heartbeat! Very nice gun!

Like the format Jonny and thanks for throwing in the Mauser. Keep up the great work!
That was nice to see. I wish they showed more rifles
You should do a video on older £300-£600 s/h alternatives to new budget guns.
I drive a skb 705, very nice. Parts are available from SKB USA for the Japanese made models. Check the top rib, hot countries say they come loose.
Many Flavors at Holt I love watching Johnny

I nearly bought one of those Somerton 10 bore boxlocks once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I would never see one again. WOW!
Haha thought my Ron Sooners Outdoors video has fired up part way through this
OOOhhhh.. That K-98 Mauser... new production... Oberndorf ....Gimme gimme gimme...
That centennial Mauser 98 would bring a whole lot more money here in America.
Do a reveiw on the Ruger no1? I am from South Africa and am thinking of trying the bid on that one

We’re the sabots accurate?

Ooooh I WANT that 10 gauge!
It was epic
10 bore are not allowed in Denmark sadly...
Did you bid on 5171 the browning?? At those prices I don’t think you can skip it!!
That Jackal looks like a G3.

Johnny got his ear bent by his missus and wants rescuing by a higher bid. Lol
😂
Google this…. a rare Weatherby over under 20 gauge 3” magnum…. You’re welcome
@TGS Outdoors Hey Jonny, where are you hiding buddy its past TGS O'clock.
Love my SKB o/u s, Buy one when you can, you will not regret the purchase!
Great vid but for the love of god can whoever edited it stop switching away to b roll that doesn't show what Johnny is talking about when hes showing something on the gun like the lockup mechanism or an issue on it etc. Very annoying not being able visualise it.
I really really want the English hammer gun, just because I do. So tempted to bid just a fiver more than you😁
Dont’t ruin it for Me again!!! 😝
Would buy one of those but DON'T shoot thin barrels...esp. thin Damascus barrels!
Do you some cheaper guns what can you get on a budget to different budgets
Won't be long until Jonny treats himself to a quality Russian gun
Mosin very gud blyat
I was looking forward to this video but I am astounded at the speed of your speech . Really this just spoils the delivery of your knowledge . I know that you are like a child let loose in a toy shop but please sit down and listen .
All I have is a Baikal.....for obvious reasons mine is better than all shown in this video......😭😭😭😭
The fun aspect seems to be lost on this side of the pond also
Is 5775c as nice as the Dickson you shot in the video??
I'd love to know what the sale prices were for these guns
The Sealed Bid ends on Thursday, you can check them out then.
@@tgsoutdoors oooooo I thought it was the Thursday gone, that's made my wallet tickle!
