28-bore AYA No.2

I write this edging into the first week after the end of the season with reports from around the country that the final week proved as busy as the rest of the season with plenty of sport on offer. I was thinking that with the season over this was going to be a quieter spell,…

EGE 12-bore

When the deputy editor told me he had arranged for an EGE 12-bore shotgun to be sent to me for review, I had to admit I had never heard of it. “It’s coming from ASI,” he added. It must be OK then, 
I thought, if it is coming from the main UK importer of AYA…

AYA Legend De Luxe 20-bore

I can remember in the 1970s as 
a youngster reading Shooting Times and scanning all the 
adverts for guns that I admired, from the significantly expensive handmade English guns to the more affordable offerings from Italy and Spain, together with slightly agricultural guns from the old Eastern bloc. Among all the adverts, I can remember…

Sako Finnlight 2

The new Sako Finnlight 2 — based on the hugely popular Sako 85 action — is a leap towards stalking rifle perfection. There is still the well-proportioned synthetic stock, stainless steel construction and fluted barrel to reduce weight but with the addition 
of a tough Cerakote external finish. Appealing features of the Sako Finnlight 2…

Rizzini RB Regal 12-bore reviewed by Shooting Times magazine

The test gun this month is the Rizzini RB Regal 12-bore with 30in barrels — previously only available on special order. (RB stands for round body.) We tend to see 20-bore Rizzinis at the shooting school fairly frequently, and the occasional 16, but less so the 12-bore. So it will be interesting to see if…

Eco Charger Eliminator 2 quad bike on test

As someone who has admired Elon Musk’s Tesla cars from afar, I was delighted and a little excited to be offered the use of the new fully electric Eco Charger quad bike for a week to field test for Shooting Times. Things are moving on as far as the use and development of electric vehicles…

.22lr rimfire bolt-action rifles reviewed

Jason Harris looks at the four best .22 rimfire bolt-action rifles on the market

We took the all-new Dacia Duster 4×4 out for a proper test at a shoot. Here’s what we thought.

My curiosity was piqued when I heard we would be putting the new second-generation Duster through its paces. Dacia, Renault’s budget, no-frills brand, has added a 4×4 option to the popular Duster range, which potentially could be right up our street. The Dacia Duster 4×4 – smart inside It was pelting down when I took…

Beretta 694 – for competitions and high birds

Normally when a new product is going to hit the market you get the pre-launch ‘coming soon’ marketing. There’s no such approach with the new Beretta 694 — it’s as if Beretta has been running a black ops mission to design a new clay gun. The new gun is aimed at the competition shooter and…
