O/U waterfowl recommendations

Your last comment would be my advice. I did the same when buying a CZ Teal to hunt with. I knew it wouldn’t have the quality or durability of what I’m used to in higher end Beretta O/Us, but I bought it as a beater and have no qualms using it as such.

 

Speaking of “down the gun rack”, I just bought a like new but used, Yildiz 20 gauge. Got 4 chokes with it and $275 took it out the door. I’m proud to have it and it handles great. Crazy thing is, it’s looks to good to rattle can. 1 month till burn some dubs with it.

 

That sure sounds like fun coming ? I wish you more than just a couple trips without gun issues but , I do understand you wanting the cheapest waterfowl
gun made in Turkey ! I to hunt with a O/U at times as I have several with overbored barrels and as far as simplicity , they are great . The fact of having 2
different choke constrictions can be a advantage at times . I say this as there are better quality O/U's that will make you "prouder" and "serve you longer" as
a used gun just waitng for a New owner who wouldn't have to hide it with camo . But , it's your dime and time to spend with it.....enjoy !

 

I've got one of their 12 gauges and like it a lot.

 

I gave up on shooting autos, both gas and recoil models, just had to many fail to function issues. Have tried a pump but sometimes short shucked it causing a jam. Been shooting a sawed off Fox Stevens SBS and a Stafano Fausti O/U the last two seasons with good results. Never had a jam or failure to fire with either one. Cylinder bores on SBS deadly out too 30 yds.

 

If you have never seen the destruction a shotshell could cause , let me tell you it's horrendous ! I personally want to have the Best American Engineered
Shotgun I can afford to put my cheek against , inline with a explosive that's trying to blow back like a shotgun shell , especially a waterfowl load . This isn't
a warning but it is the faith I have in our safety measures in "this" countries gun manufactures . Even tho I do shoot German and Italian guns for clay targets
I just can't except the integrity of a gun made in a country at war for so many years and their supply of quality parts . Think about it , as it only takes one ,
can the next shell be......Horrendous to you or your family ?

 

Seen it on the rack there, on two earlier occasions and wasn’t going to give what they were initially asking but got’em down where I deemed acceptable, for the “cheapest waterfowl gun made in Turkey”.

 

CZ swamp magnum.

 

I have owned a 12 gauge 11/87 SP since 93. SBE1 since 1998. Mossberg 500 12 since 84 and an 835 for a year before trading for the SBE.

I have a CZ Bobwhite SxS 20 gauge on order as I type which will hopefully be here before the seasons open up in September. I will use it for dove, ducks and upland as well as a goose if one cooperates... I also have a CZ Canvasback O/U that I bought last year which has impressed me with the quality, fit, feel and style at a bargain price of the CZ/Huglu guns
