This was interesting for me. Being from the U.S. with the bulk of my collection being pistols and rifles, I’ve not herd of many of these shotguns. I don’t believe I have a single English made shotgun. Perhaps I’ll add one in the future. Thanks for the video.
I know I was just thinking the same thing. It’s weird they mostly have double barrels, I see he had a pump and a semi auto. Interesting though and makes me glad I live in the US to own everything I have.
Quite often, one of these shotguns will cost more then most American's whole collection. Hell, even the American made shotguns in this style cost more then most American's whole collections. Check out Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company.
Do yourself a favor. If you bird hunt get yourself a decent English side by side! I don't hunt any longer but when I did my Britt side by side always went with me.😊
Beautiful collection. I love your channel! I had to laugh when you said “who need this many guns”, those are rookie numbers in America 🇺🇸. Keep up the great work!
Always nice to look back and remember the fun you had with what you could afford at the time. A lovely collection Jonny. What grounds were you shooting at?
Happily surprised you had a flues in the bag! I have one as well (1917 I think) and shoot low pressure shells through it. To the best of my knowledge around that time period in the U.S. smokeless powder had just become common place. However in the next couple of years higher pressure shells were developed which began a trend to beefier shotguns (such as the Ithaca made nitro special) UK shotgun culture is so different from USA. Most expensive guns you see are perazzis and maybe only one or two people in my club shoot one. Most people settle on a citori or silver pidgeon and never go for anything else. For hunting semi autos are king here though nothing in comparison to the cosmi. That cosmi is something else.
I enjoy your videos and check your channel rather frequently. I'm an American living permanently in Japan and while hunting is my main shooting endeavor, I enjoy shooting trap and skeet as well. (the only two varieties of clay shooting available in Japan). I have a very old Miroku OT skeet gun and a similarly old Breda Sirio trap gun and love both of them! So I'm curious... you often talk about a particular gun being "very English" or "not English". What are the key factors determining how "English" any given gun may be?
Thanks for letting us rummage through your collection. Is it time yet to delve into the world of smaller gauges? And then you should have at least one 10...perhaps a "light", short chambered example. Oh and maybe a BP 8 ga. double. IMHO, your Woodward and Grant were really good moves. Here in the US, a lot of people would salivate over the Ithaca. So you can only imagine how they (we) would react to guns you might consign to the trash bin. In the early part of the last century, even many obscure British makers turned out some really excellent guns. Lucky!
Looking over your gun collection I get the impression that you really like over and under shotguns. I really enjoy your show, keep it up. Personally I prefer SxS shotguns as I enjoy chasing partridge and woodcock here in Maine with my German shorthair pointer.
@@tgsoutdoors a finely made SxS has always been my passion. I sacrifice many things to own these beutiful hand made works of art that I do not hunt with, I enjoy hunting with my AyA there's just something about carrying a nice gun in the field that is hard to explain. It has always been a dream of mine to have a custom gun made to fit as you had a longthorn made to fit for you. That was a terrific video by the way!
For the longest time I wanted a Browning B525 but you have me slobbering for one of those Longthornes. Do I need it - NO, do I want it - YES. Thanks for sharing your collection. A Fox would be nice addition.
❤❤ those are absolutely gorgeous!! I’d love to start a collection but I wouldn’t even know where to start, here in Australia it’s hard to come across a quality clean old shotgun.
I still have my first gun which I bought over 20 years ago, a mint 28 inch Lanber Sporter which I will never sell. My collection is also growing, so far in 2022 I have bought a .410 Breetta and a A400 Excel.
Nice collection, sir! Since I am in the US and not a member of the landed gentry, having a collection like yours is well out of my reach. Lovely to admire vicariously, though. Thanks for sharing.
A bit disappointed you couldn't shoot that Ithaca, as an American they're by far my favorite manufacturer. I have a Flues built in 1916, a Model 37 built in 1970, and a Model 66 SuperSingle which is by far one of the weirdest guns they ever made. For what little sport shooting I've done with it, that beat up old Flues kicks ass. Or it least it would if I had any practice. I need more... Crappy old Ithacas...
Just made my better half watch this as she thought I have a problem. Thank you for clearing that up for her. Not been allowed to the mill for a couple of months as I was a naughty boy!
Another great one guys, quick suggestion how about a short vs tall e.g. Jonny with a Churchill 25 and Ant with a 32 inch or longer barrel sxs (if you can find such a beast)
My name is Jonny and I have a problem..... Yes Jonny you do ...... You don't have enough guns yet !! I have the same problem with airguns , although I have bought three shotguns this year 😂
Definitely a young single with very deep pockets. I peaked at 12 shotguns / rifles but took my wife’s a dive and sold most of them due to a decreasing interest in guns in Canada. No regrets at 75 because I don’t hunt anymore and my spaniels are in the ground, no need for personal protection (🇨🇦). Nice collection, makes you drool if you’re a gun enthusiast.👍🇨🇦👨🦳
Here in America so a lot of my gun budget goes to things other than shotguns but finally knocked out a side by side from my shopping list. Got a good deal on a ithaca flues, glad to see we have the same eye
Absolutely love this video!! I'm brand new to firearms and I'm looking for a first shotgun now. Loved the comment at 1:44 - "can't afford a real Woodward" and at the same time you own about 100K worth of other rifles🤣🤣 I'm trying to decide if I should spend 500 or 1500CAD on my first shotgun.... Any suggestions?
Spend as much as you can afford, a good shotgun here is like $1200 bucks in Australia. A really nice one is about $4500. Guns this guy shoots all the time with more than $15,000-$25,000.
@@azzajohnson2123 His Miroku that he's shot the most would be worth about £800 give or take, high end guns aren't worth it at all. It's the difference between a McLaren and a Ford, yes the McLaren is faster but the Ford will still do everything the McLaren can without the thrills
Seems like you should add one of the higher end waterfowl guns just for kicks and something different. A400 Xtreme, SBE3/M2, Maxus 2, XLR5..? Just like how you said everyone needs a pump, seems like one camo plastic auto should be in the safe too.
For some time now I've had a Longthorne Vanguard as the wallpaper on my laptop, because it's unspeakably beautiful and I can't afford/justify buying one (and my wife would probably use it on me if I did ... ). Needless to say - ticket bought !
Apparently you're a gun nut too, have 44 guns myself, 24 are shotgun. 5 are o/u. 2 are 28 gauge o/u. Also have a Pedersen sxs 1972 worth $1,500.00. Made by bernardelli in Italy.
Won a SKB side by side 200e at holts sealed bid. The reviews from past and present help what to look out for ,and home basic servicing. Bought a ticket for the raffle, my missus did not bat a eye lid. She probably things the prize is a food hamper. Keep up the good work.
Hi, thanks for those interesting reviews. I was surprised when you said the Lanber had a bad recoil. I can shoot my factory standard 2006 12g with only a light T shirt as protection. Perhaps this shows the importance of gun fit.
A typical Brit. "Who needs this many guns" And all of America Laughed and Laughed. Seriously Johnny that's not a lot. You need to pump those rookie number UP
As others have said instead of the Winchester 120 try a Model 12 Pre-War Trap/Skeet Model if you can find one. I do believe you will be impressed with the shooting and handling characteristics.
@@tgsoutdoors Agree, if you're going to have just one pump, might just as well make it a Winchester M12 or M187... - Or if you want to be the weird one of the bunch, there's always the Russian KBP RMB-93... or a MTS-255
So, I'm not sure if you can get this in the UK, but have you heard of Savage Arms? Their OU shotguns are basically just Rizzinis, but without the hand finishing. I'm pretty sure they're outsourced to Rizzini, or have a deal with Rizzini to use the same equipment and schematics. Even the wood is oddly beautiful for the price. They're on the shell for under $900. I would LOVE to know what you think of how they feel to fire. I'm gong to purchase one until I go to Lombardia to get a custom Rizzini. That's on my bucket list. Thanks.
What's your opinion on Star Baikal? I have an old side-by-side in 12-70 and I've had it for 20 years now! An absolute workhorse for hunting. And it was cheap so I'm not afraid to scratch it :p
Haha. Nice. Being a 3-gunner, just league and a totally different game than yours, I understand. I like my rifles, I like my handguns, but shotties are horribly addictive. Oddly enough, even though semis are easier to win with, pumps are much more fun. Sort of like going off-road with an old 4x4 Toyota 4-banger (that means 4wd, four cylinder, manual transmission Toyota pickup) compared to driving down a paved street with a Honda Accord.
Beaing an owner of two Mirokus, a MK38 w 32 inch barrels and a 7500 combination gun in 12/6,5x55 Swedish I am utterly destroyed by how casually you gave up your Miroku guns. I understand that the Longthornes are in a different league but that quick shift seems almost calous. If I’d been rich, I would get a Longthorne though, possibly just because they come from the same place that gave us the Spitfire fighter plane.
I've shot a 686 SP1 Sporting w/30" bbls for the last 5 years (Sporting Clays only) and am in the market for a new gun. My gun fever is driven by the desire for 32" bbls and a preference for a palm swell - otherwise my current gun is a reasonable fit that I like very much; it is slightly whippy. I'm down to a 287 SPIII Sporting (a current dealer option with upgraded wood, palm swell & adjustable trigger) or a 694 Sporting. Cost between the two is fairly negligible. I'm 6'-3", 220lb guy that is, and will remain, just a weekend shooter with (very) modest shooting skills. Would appreciate feedback from your reviews of both guns concerning handling and benefits. My top priorities are reliability, handling & longevity - although I'll always strive to improve, I have no designs on becoming a 'good' shooter. Everyone I've reached out to has a bias based on incentive to sell a given model, so I'm reaching out for a learned opinion. I'll find a 694 Sporting to give it a heft/swing, but it'll be difficult to find a 687 Sporting that has the wood package/trigger that the particular gun dealer has put together. Thanks for the response and my apologies for the many words to pose a simple question. Always enjoy TGS Outdoors
Just remember: The guy at The End who dies with the most toys, Wins. Keep it up, JC. Gun Control is when you only buy ONE gun, when you really want 2 or 3 or 4 or 5. Holts is a playground for you and those toys... Meander there at your own risk.

Hello Johnny very interesting program as usual. As someone who shoots a Perazzi MX8 and you have one in your collection how do you think it compares with your Longthorne ?
You good sir have a bit of a thing going on. But one must take their children out for a walk now and then. I too have shot my entire shotgun collation as well... 0~o Took all of 5-minutes at a very sedate and leisurely pace... >~< Winchester model 12, Ruger Red Label and Remington model-31. One 12-bore and two 20. Shot loads of 24-grams thru 32-grams. 3/4 oz. thru 1-1/2 oz. All in good fun, I do like taking the Red-Label 20 and besting 12 and 16 bores with light loads.

@@tgsoutdoors maybe 2! Shotgun and 45-70!
So one pump and a bunch of break actions? Not alot of variation there. I thought you could get autoloadingbshotguns in UK
There is a Cosmi in there. Once there is a Cosmi in the cabinet why would there be any other semi auto?
*other than an M2

No Kreighoff K80, any reason why not?
Hello Johnny very interesting program as usual. As someone who shoots a Perazzi MX8 and you have one in your collection how do you think it compares with your Longthorne ?
I used to own a Berretta S56E
Brilliant video
Not a 410 amongst them, 🤦🏻♂️ i was mistaken I thought you were a real man!! 👸
What about the cute pup at 1:04?
Only need the Perazzi MX8... the rest safe queens.
Haven't heard of all of these brands.
Where are the big guns at?
$1:30 "Who needs this many guns?" you are clearly British and not American 😎
You good sir have a bit of a thing going on. But one must take their children out for a walk now and then.
I too have shot my entire shotgun collation as well... 0~o Took all of 5-minutes at a very sedate and leisurely pace... >~< Winchester model 12, Ruger Red Label and Remington model-31. One 12-bore and two 20. Shot loads of 24-grams thru 32-grams. 3/4 oz. thru 1-1/2 oz. All in good fun, I do like taking the Red-Label 20 and besting 12 and 16 bores with light loads.
I have to wonder what your wife had to say when she saw the complete collection.
