The Venus

[@benbrettingen9972]

I absolutely love my Upland Gun/RFM. I’ve hunted across the country with it, and it’s a joy to hunt with!

[@ntf543]

As a fellow Minnesotan who's a upland bird hunter and love nice guns this is really cool to see. Great video

[@jeffreyadams1659]

I'm currently running a 28 Venus from UGC/RFM. From fitting with Del to receiving through FFL and finally putting it to use in the North Woods couldn't be happier with it. Jerry and Nick will take care of you!

[@petertira8518]

I have a .410 Venus and absolutely love it. It's become my favorite shotgun (sorry Beretta, Browning and B. Rizzini) and puts a smile on my face every time I pull the trigger. Nick and the folks at Upland Gun Company/RFM are simply the best!

[@Patrick_B687-3]

This is very encouraging. Don’t be sorry. I’m itching for a 28 bore, but don’t want any of those brands for a SxS, and I’m a big Beretta & Rizzini fanboy.

[@siegehammer63]

I own a custom SKB done by the same manufacturer, a 20 gauge with grade 2 stock and some features but mostly a game gun, my first with a fitted stock. These thing absolutely shoot the lights out!

[@jimmarcham6271]

I've come over all nostalgic ..... Those are fine looking guns and must be a real pleasure to both own and use. Reminds me of my youth and my first "proper" gun - a s/s 20 bore - still got it today, some 40 years later. Thanks for sharing !

[@jblocker6613]

I’m so glad you posted this video!! I’m from the States and have been considering having one made. Thanks again!!

[@r.parker1933]

You hit the nail on the head with your comment about a Pigeon gun configuration. Heading over to their website now to see....

[@stu748r]

'Wouldn't it be really great if videos like this bring a renaissance of the side by side format. If they are fitted properly, they shoot really nicely, with so much style and elegance.

[@tgsoutdoors]

It would be lovely to see them in equal measure to over and under and semi automatics

[@korykoehnen4720]

Ya Minnesota! I have to get up to the shop and check them out!

[@rockykeim5018]

I have a Zeus in 24 Ga and it is perfect in the Woodcock coverts. The 24 packs a powerful punch that will penetrate debris and still kill the bird.

[@simontiedge5668]

Great video! I own two UGC sxs guns. One 16ga and one two barrel set 20ga and 28ga. Great guns and the custom service is a dream.

[@swatllamatbmc4675]

Can you tell me more? I recently found the company and it looks attractive, but there's not that much information out there on it!

[@nigelevans5639]

Brilliant show, glad you’re loving a side x side, Upland bird shooting is big in America, we love driven birds here, rough shooting is our comparable sport which we love, keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@LeuvahkTrigger]

Man thats a beautiful pair of side by sides. *hears the price* *chokes*

[@davidbetts480]

Hello TGS, a very stunning little gun.

[@Joe0898]

Hey Jon, just bought my first shotgun, grade 5 miroku mk70. Itching to get my hands on it. love all the content, really informative

[@marksd5650]

Excellent content as per usual. That shotgun almost looks like a child’s size in your hands. Best Regards gentlemen.

[@glenns7139]

Brilliant as usual well done. Wish i could do my videos to such a standard. Keep up the good work jonny

[@tgsoutdoors]

Thankyou Glenn

[@kenlansing1216]

Beautifully simple side-by-sides.

[@mikedesiderio6729]

Nick is the man!

[@grahamedwards9920]

And it seems they are coming to the UK - good news🇺🇸🇬🇧.

[@tgsoutdoors]

Very good news

[@bobbyscott8024]

Well done Jonny as usual!

[@joaolitos]

More from the US!!!

[@royjennison3916]

they look great . i love it

[@antsfur]

Nice video and insight into this gum maker i will look at their site later, thanks

[@jonpettet7085]

Great video again John.

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Looks a lot like what Elderkins were importing from Spain in the mid 1980's and renaming. One sure thing though, they didn't cost two months wages....

[@kipkleimenhagen8434]

What's the difference between RFM and FAIR? Their guns look absolutely identical - it looks to me like what Upland is doing is just placing custom orders at FAIR. Is RFM buying frames from FAIR and finishing them to a higher standard?

[@bentleyfatheree1616]

Well done 👍

[@gnarshread]

That skeletonised top lever and the shape of the action is something I've seen on other companies guns. I suppose these guys spec up an existing product for customers?

[@TheBurg229]

That would be a perfect quail gun. Shame it isn’t actually made in America. Not enough shotguns are. It’s really just Kolar and Connecticut Gun Co. now.

[@gnarshread]

Why is everyone thinking that the prices are expensive? Yes shotgun prices in the states are high but if you shop around for a similar product these guys seem to offer a unique product for a darn competitive price.

[@joeltowle2737]

I love side by sides!

[@agentorange3698]

I prefer extractors over ejectors every day due to the mechanical reliability of extractors

[@dave_724]

It’s a great shame we only get two models from RFM here they seem very popular especially when your getting decent side by side for £1500 or there abouts they do a lot of interesting looking guns.

[@Blondejam]

Nice vid as usual guys. That is one sweet sxs!

[@1valg]

All s/s should have a beavertail forend.

[@twinpotracer]

Jonny - would you consider the RFM lexus Zeus the 'live pigeon' version? I own one, 12g with raised rib and pistol grip!

[@wholeNwon]

Not bad though wood-to-metal fit looks only fair, at best, to me. Superior steel proofed?

[@andybannon7680]

Johnny would you consider a upland gun company SK field over under as a contender for an all around shotgun? I can’t find a browning field citori anywhere just sporting models and am not a beretta fan….. longthorne and CSMC money continues to elude me

[@tgsoutdoors]

Oof, I wish I had ever tried one to be able to give my opinion

[@ragnarragnarsson3128]

Upland should build these in the USA

[@r.parker1933]

That would be so great, but we don't really have the "classic double manufacturing infrastructure" that they'd need. Connecticut Shotgun is about the only US builder of modern SxS's I known of.

[@ragnarragnarsson3128]

@@r.parker1933 you mean like skilled labor? That is another topic, but what I really miss are the hardware store grade doubles that anyone could buy for not a lot of money but were still made in America. Like the old stevens and savage doubles.

[@MbisonBalrog]

How common is SxS for clays?

[@mallardcutter7209]

Not very common at all on the Clay course at all. Unless it’s a dedicated SxS competition.

[@muhammadjahangir1260]

NICE

[@jasonbeary5771]

I find ejectors a little annoying. That's from my history, experience and use. You life may vary.

[@jh1982a]

do you know if they can do a lop of 16... I'm pretty tall

[@tgsoutdoors]

Drop nick an email - I can’t see why not

[@uplandguncompany4183]

Yes we can!!!! Remember, it’s your gun!!!

[@jh1982a]

nice

[@theoisaac9948]

👍👍

[@matthewdeepblue]

So not American... Italian... Connecticut Shotguns

[@apoinla]

Jonny, are you aware The Queen has died!

[@tgsoutdoors]

Really?

[@duncanmcpherson2497]

Anyone do this service in 🇬🇧?

[@robpowell9162]

Why can’t big companies learn from the forend button being at the end rather than a latch where your hand sits? This would stop the heat from Satans own vindaloo from sealing my palm like a cheap steak?!

[@pickin4you]

So if you’re super rich, you can afford a cheap one. I have never paid more than $1200 for a good over and under. I would never be able to afford one of those. So many gun makers as well as many other sports manufacturers are going to price themselves out of business, unless they are small enough to cater to the rich and famous and be happy with that.

[@gnarshread]

Those prices are cheap for a shotgun you spec out yourself. But it all depends on your personal preference and what you want to accomplish with your shooting. And sometimes its nice to have something tailored to you.

[@dwi2921]

The Zuse model runs a grand cheaper without all the doodads.

[@MbisonBalrog]

Can you have sawed off SxS in UK or Europe like the Mafia?

[@johnsoncozier2152]

👍

[@whiskeykilmer1866]

So, they don't actually build anything. They're middlemen/ salesmen.

[@Daniel_Bradford]

It’s no different than most of the “American” optics companies these days.

[@andrewbakerandrewbaker5417]

Hi, I bought a 51" shotgun case these days, but I don't like the color Any one need it? It's free. PM me
