Pour the hate on GD.  Shotgun hate, CZ hate, Turkish gun hate, whatever.  

CZ Drake in 20 gauge.

Cost less than $600.



Going to use it for quail, dove and pheasant in Texas.

May or may not have been an alcohol fueled purchase.  Screw it, it was cheap.  If it breaks in a year or two I won't really care all that much.

For the price, you're not going to get hate from me. Hell, I may go buy one to get the wife into trap shooting.

Does it break open easy? All the turkish double barrels I've handled were really tight and stiff.

Thats not bad. I'd cut it down to 14" and use it for home defense with 00 buck.

Just kidding, let us know how it handles. I've been considering a o/u.

I have a 300 dollar Turkish O/U that has killed quail, dove and rabbit in two states.  My only complaint is that it is on the heavy side.

Those are actually huglu guns and they are FANTASTIC values.

Great guns you'll love it.

The guy who has 32,000 something rounds through his Canvasback convinced me to give it a try.

I figure worst case scenario, I beat the shit out of it for a few years then upgrade.

The only reason so many Tennessee Volunteers died fighting for Texas Independence is they'd rather be dead in Texas than alive in Tennessee.  Hard to blame them.

For a hunting gun that you'll shoot a hundred times a year, it's fine. Try to shoot 10,000 rounds of clays a year with it and you'll shoot it to pieces.

That seems to be the conventional wisdom.

But there's a guy keeping track of his Turkish made CZ on another forum that has over 32,000 rounds through it so far.

I'm not planning on shooting it that much, but I will shoot more than 100 rounds a year with it.  If it breaks, I've learned my lesson.  If it holds up, I'll be a happy camper.

Either way, its warrantied for a couple years so if I get a lemon I'll send it back.  Seemed like a worthwhile investment for the quail and dove hunting I get a chance to do...can finally stop borrowing other peoples guns for the occasional bird hunting I do.

What's wrong with an O/U?

I've kinda always wanted one. I occasionally shoot skeet with an 870. The center position is almost impossible (for me) if I have to pump.

I was working away from home and had no shotgun with me when I got invited on a company dove hunt. 

Trotted down to the LGS and bought a used O/U Ruger Red Label 12 gauge. Paid like $220.00 for it. I use it now and again for birds and trap/skeet.

I had a Russian made Baikal O/U.

The first thing to fall apart was the safety.

It would engage right after the first shot.

I took it back to the mom and pop store I bought it from.  They fixed it.

.It ran for a little while okay.

Then  one time a bird flushed...I got a good bead on it and was on the trigger...BOOM!  it let go with both barrels...and there was a puff of feathers floating back down to the ground.

I am thinking it is not a safe gun.

Will it fire when I close the barrels?

Because that will be the next thing to happen?

And I don't want the BOOM! to make my dogs gun shy.

A local Gander Mountain has a Beretta 686 for $1,500

That is the gun I'd like to get.

20 gauge is for 12 year old kids their first year hunting.  At least the OP didn't try to convince anyone that his new gun is just as good as good as a top of the line shotgun.

I competed using a Perazzi. Been looking at the CZ guns in the lgs. They look great to me and with a 5 year year warranty on the metal I'm thinking about getting one for hunting and playing around with the clay sports for giggles since I no longer compete. Can't lose for the price of admission.

I showed up to a trap range one day with a saiga 12. The looks people were giving me were fucking hilarious. Oddly enough I didn't have to wait all day for anything since people suddenly decided to take breaks when I was around.

Not going to hate. I'm kinda looking for a .410 O/U for a bunny gun. I like the Stevens 555, or that CZ series is nice too.

Trying to find a used .410, prices are
