Here we take another look at a classic Winchester that time seems to have almost forgotten about. Wind the clock back almost 40 years and this model was one of the most popular sporting shotguns. One of the only model Winchesters to only ever be offered only in sporting specification.
This particular 5500 is a bit different. Having searched for a number of years to find one in a condition he was happy with. Matthew explains why he has a soft spot for this 30" multichoke sporter.

Great video -My first gun was a Winchester 5000 Field - 28" multi-choke which my daughter shoots - great handling gun especially with 21/24gm loads

Thank you for your comment and kind words. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. Brilliant brilliant guns with very little felt recoil so sounds ideal. I am sure she will create many memories shooting that family heirloom. Kind regards, Matthew

Great video can you review the beretta 687 silver pigeon 3 sporting model?

@eastfieldgunroom 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment and kind words. The Beretta SP3 Sporter is a gun that I will be reviewing. Kind regards, Matthew

Ha ve you ever reviewed the Winchester model 21 and the 23 model, the 23 is so overlooked as the winchester o/u. Great review as always.

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. I am a huge fan of the Winchester side by sides and they will certainly be making an appearance on the channel soon. Kind regards, Matthew

Why did he leave Premier guns!🤔

@eastfieldgunroom 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. Everybody essentially copied Brownings. Kind regards, Matthew

What a stroke of luck that you've got the original buttplate; because I know you are a big fan of that work of art!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@eastfieldgunroom 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. Absolutely correct, I should really just throw it in the bin 😂. KInd regards, Matthew

Great video. I just picked up a 28" in excellent shape here in the US. Seems like these are much rarer in the States than across the pond. Beautiful gun.

Thank you for your comment, I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. I am not sure that you got too many of the 5500/6500 series in the US. Kind regards, Matthew

@eastfieldgunroom 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment and kind words. I am very lucky to have found this one, I just need more time to go shooting 😂. Kind regards, Matthew

@merv690 7 месяцев назад

well Matt this will be one of the few reviews where at the end I don't jump straight onto your web site to see if it is for sale 😂😂, the shooting grounds near me are still using a Winchester 101 so still going strong

@eastfieldgunroom 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. These are great great great shotguns. Kind regards, Matthew

@kdm6287 7 месяцев назад

Great gun, i had one also. One of the best handling shotguns I've had. Regret selling it but needs must.

@eastfieldgunroom 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment, one of the great the 5500. Can now be picked up for very little money. Kind regards, Matthew

@timbell7893 7 месяцев назад

Another great review Matt.

@georgeanaxagora1134 7 месяцев назад

I have the same one. Can I use browning invector chokes for it they seem to fit

@eastwood3774 7 месяцев назад

Yes, same pattern as the Winchokes, just can't use the Invector PLUS.

@fullchoke01 7 месяцев назад

The 101 line was the best of a great bunch of the era, fit/finish, handling, levels above many so called top tier guns, i'd love to sporterise an 8500

@eastfieldgunroom 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. Personally I do not believe that the quality and feel that these guns offered will ever be matched for anything like sensible money. Kind regards, Matthew

@fullchoke01 6 месяцев назад

@@eastfieldgunroom 100% agree Matt, beautiful guns and very sweet to shoot
