![]() ![]() The trigger pull was light and easy for beginners to get used to quickly. Opening the gun to reveal the breech is simple, just a case of pulling down on the barrel, and while the pump-action requires a stiff pull to make the gun live, that should ease slightly with continued use. It performed using all, but the Nerf ammunition showed its quality. ![]() The Zuru bullets fared well, but we also tested it with Pound Shop ammunition, and even some top-of-the-range Nerf blasters. The gun was sold with some blue and yellow bullets that matched its own colourways, and it certainly looked the part when breaking open the barrel and loading a single shot in. Taking the X-Shot out to Folliroaps Shooting Ground, the action cycled any ammunition we loaded. It also doesn’t feature any lenses and honestly seems quite pointless, however, the scope mounting system is good and keeps everything secure no matter what level of recoil your ammunition produces. The gun is topped with a scope, which is also removable for the purists among us. However, the fact that it can be taken off so easily hints at a custom-stock option from Zuru in the future. The stock is removable, but true clay traditionalists will prefer to keep it in place rather than opting for a pistol-like gun mount. It is, however, tipped at the muzzle with an orange choke that is interchangeable but we would advise taking it to a gunsmith should you wish to make changes as the process is complex. The action features the combined XC logo that we have come to associate with Zuru’s leading Sporting model. There is no doubt that fans of foam bullet shooting will love the blue and yellow motif that the X-Shot uses to contrast between the working elements of the gun – primarily the breech and pump-action forend – and the barrel and stock. ![]() The model we are testing is the X-Shot Excel Scope. The firearm we are testing today is no doubt building on the success of the Nerf Blaster idea, but the Chinese-made Zuru guns have looked at opening up the range even further. The original Nerf Blaster is the market leader today, but the manufacturer Hasbro has seen a number of imitators, much in the same way that Browning shotguns were by Miroku, Winchester and others following the success of its full-width hinge pin locking system in 1925. ![]() We are, of course, talking about the foam bullets that have been popularised by the Nerf gun phenomenon. And just as the breech-loading shotguns ultimately contributed to the substantial decline in muzzle-loading gun, will these new innovations do the same to the over-and-unders used widely at clay grounds around the world today. The H&R Topper 88 was a basic shotgun, but it did come with a color case-hardened receiver.The firearms market has seen huge developments in recent years thanks to the development of new ammunition forms. These little beauties could be had with 8- or 12¼-inch barrels-good for a home protection or a truck gun. H&R even made a cool little model called the Handy-Gun from 1920 to 1934 in. Many young shooters got their start with this gun, although the light weight coupled with a hard butt plate didn’t exactly make it shooter friendly. They called it the Pardner-and later the Topper-and produced it in every popular gauge from 10 to 28 and. They built solid revolvers and shotguns, soon becoming the only North American licensee for England’s Anson & Deely boxlock side-by-side shotgun.īut it was their single-shot shotguns that became synonymous with good quality at bargain prices. They formed H&R in Worcester, Massachusetts, building iconic guns and a loyal following. He needed a partner with a production background to bring it to market and William Richardson fit the bill. Gilbert Harrington made history in 1871 with his top-break, shell-ejecting revolver. H&R Pardner and Topper The H&R Pardner-which later became the Topper-was produced in every popular gauge from 10 to 28 and. ![]()
