   I had a Martini Cadet in 222R that had that issue - but the previous owner cured it by welding the Hilver ring to the steel base

   What I did with mine was get one of those clay bird holders and set it up in front of a dirt bank. It doest shoot where you think its shooting. Mine shoots way low to where I aim it

   If you consider that the FSA website has a video of how to store a firearm in the roof cavity, a chain or cable lock around a sound structure in an inconspicuous place should pass. I know of a case...

   I agree with Micky Duck; 50 yards (or metres) is a helluva long shot on a possum with a typical gun/ammo combination. Possums are tough to kill and your pattern at 50+ yards will likely be too...

   How far did you miss by??? Well as I said unless it was a Jaffa packet,at least 600mm. And fifty yards is a VERY long shot on a possum. Why on earth didn't you get closer. For reference sake.very few...

   Checking where the shotgun is shooting is one of the times you actually aim at the target like a rifle. Put up a sheet of cardboard or similar up at 30-40m. Put an aiming mark in central point. Aim...

    Yes I would suspect that the pattern itself is fine. It just isn't going where you think you are aiming. Back when played with an oeg aimpoint on my shotty, I used to do it down at the river off the...

    It's never an even distribution of pellets and it changes shot to shot, patterning especially on paper will show you that. Sometimes there are holes that an animal or clay could slip through.

    The back of a real estate size sign with a central dot to aim at and a 30" circle around the dot. On the edges, stick cardboard like opened up boxes from the supermarket - doesn't have to be flash. ...

    used a shot gun a lot for pest control hundreds of rounds professionally - went away from 4 shot and just used 2 shot for rabbits and possums just more effective kill now watch the doubters
