Winchester select enegry trap

chickenfarmer

Does anybody here have a winchester select engery in either the trap or the sporting version ? My wife is going to look at one this week (trap version with 30" barrells and adjustable stock)and I was just wondering if any of you have had any experience with them.

IDon'tKnow!

I have a select energy sporting with 30" barrel and extended signatures chokes and adjustable stock.

Part of the reason I bought this was I couldn't find a good left hander. But with the adjustable stock it didn't matter what shoulder you shoot off. It also make getting a good fit easier.

I like the gun a lot the felt recoil is easy to live with.

The gun is made in the Fabrique Nationale factory in Belgium so just like a lot of the Browning.

Here is a review from shootinguk http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/guns/shotguns/126794/Winchester_Select_Energy_shotgun_review.html

But with a shotgun its all about fit. if you pick it up and don't like it just walk away.

I did get a chance to try before I bought it so that helped me make my mind up.

Thanks for that. When you say the felt recoil is easy to live with are you saying that there is more felt recoil than normal off it ?

She regulary shoots with either my Miroku (MK70 sporter with 32" barells) or some of the club brownings so she is well versed on gun fit and its importance at this stage

There is recoil, I think it is light the rubber pad on the stock takes most of the force out of it.

I think felt recoil works like this. If you hit your targets there is no recoil, but if you miss the recoil is a killer.
