Ngrewal,

Mini canon sure!

Mounting this sort of gun would blasphemy it might also lead to scratches which are absolutely forbidden. I won’t miss the “Kick” I would get from shooting this for anything in the world with 4 1/4 in. case

more than the gun,the freedom to make something you dream is great.

Watson Brothers under Michael Luca have produced some exceptionally good guns and he is willing to experiment.

Nice video,Bespoke. I would really like to hear your feed back once you run through all the four barrels of your pair.

Vikram,

Micheal Louca is a hardworking gunmaker his guns are known to be of very high quality and its makes all the difference when you know your guns are made in London not somewhere in continent as is the case with most of London makers. I am sure this experiment like most of his have turned out to be a success.

Ngrewal,
Yes it’s the same makers.

high geese!!
It will blow the bloody skein off the sky.

Having said that, actually shooting a high goose with one is another matter.

Practicing with a 12 bore, one is not used to the amount of lead required for say an 80 yard goose.

So at the last minute, i am not sure if one can confidently successfully apply the correct amount of lead.

Practicing with one is not practical because of the following reasons:

it will cost between rs 500 to 1000 per cartridge.

Even if one is ambani, most shooting grounds wont allow it.
even if they do, there are no targets set up appropriate for a 4bore range.

Also note that the gun is more suited for overhead driven overhead going away targets.
Due to its enormous weight, crossers and quartering away targets are difficult to hit.

And if you dont believe a 'weakling' like me, I also have seen men much more powerfully built use it for only for the overhead targets as the your skeleton will take most of the weight and arma can be used to control the swing and the movement.

one needs a boxers shoulder to fire it.

Im not even sure if one can practically fire a pair of them.

I am not belittling a 4bore gun. But I have encountered many men during my shoots who say "oh with such a big gun, it would be so easy to shoot them"
"you have so much range and power" etc etc
yeah right, try it for yourself buster.

Also note the biggest bags of game have always been accounted for by 12 and 20 bores.

More a collecters item, i should say.

I wouldnt take out a watson brothers gun into the marsh
