Sometimes continental guns have stocks which are too short and too steeply inclined – this is rarely the case with AyA’s in my experience because the firm that has imported them for so long, ASI, understand exactly what is needed in a British game gun. The drop dimensions – about 1 ½” and 2 1/8” – seemed ideal as ‘shelf’ measurements (of course, with AyA there is a bespoke option too). Comb and splinter forend, meantime, felt comfortable - the 15” butt suited me well too. As a general rule, it makes them a little more controllable without any significant loss of reactivity. This length seemed to suit the gun, although I tend to favour 30” on 20s (whether side by side or over and under).
I also liked to see the articulated front trigger – another quality touch.īringing this neat 28” chopper lump barrelled, 20 bore to the face and shoulder, I noted above average balance characteristics. The scroll in this case is especially attractive and well executed without being over the top. The scalloping gives a quality look – if you look in the catalogues of English makers like Thomas Bland, you will see the deluxe guns often had scalloped actions and more engraving coverage. The straight-hand, English-gripped stock is classically styled and ergonomically efficient. The styling is good, I liked the silver polished and scalloped action (colour case hardening is a no cost option). If you have not been there yet, you should (and, I might say much the same of Holland & Holland).įirst impressions are certainly positive. I have said it before, but I will do so again, West London is a great place to shoot - part of our heritage as a sport. They had the AyA in stock and, as ever, they were kind enough to let me examine and shoot it on their excellent layouts. The opportunity arose at the West London Shooting Ground. It consequently encouraged me to put it through its paces. Passion is what drives us in the gun trade – if we wanted to make money we would do something sensible – so, it was nice to see Edward so committed and connected to this particular product. “It really looks and feels like an English gun,” he continued enthusiastically, “the action is of a very English shape – you just won’t see anything like this being made on the Continent save from AyA.” Of all the guns his firm imports, Edward has a particular soft spot for this one I have heard him praise its qualities many times over the years.
