Charlie buys a combination rifle from Gibbs Gunmakers (12-bore and .243, £1,500) and sets out to see whether it is the all-round gun he is looking for. With the help of some of Fieldsports Channel’s gang, it’s a journey that takes him from duck and red stags in Sutherland to fallow bucks and squirrels in the South-West of England.
