| what can you tell me about their o/u's? been wanting to get in the double barrel game and the prices seem reasonable. seems its kinda hard to mess up but you never know..so what about em? |
| There are excellant shotguns, I have two of them. All of CZUSA's shotgun are made by Huglu. I have a CZ Mallard (28" BBL) which has dual triggers and extractors and my other is a CZ Redhead (26" BBL) which has a single trigger and ejectors. I've shot trap and sporting clays with both, but prefer the Redhead with its single trigger. Shooting a double trigger gun for sporting clays is a PIA. |
|
Just picked up a 20 ga Canvasback. So far so good.
www.shotgunworld.com has an entire section devoted to them. Guys over there seem to love them. Be aware there is a lot of snobbery in the o/u world. Most won't even consider an o/u until its the the thousand dollar mark. |

I have a CZ Mallard as well and have shot singles trap and 5 stand with it so far. The fit and finish is pretty impressive for a $500 O/U (on mine at least). The double triggers take some getting used to for sure. |

Most won't even consider an o/u until its the the thousand dollar mark. i beg your pardon. If you are shooting consistently, get something you know will last. There is nothing wrong with a good used over and under if you can't afford a new one. The expression "you get what u pay for" would be applicable as far as new O/U shotties go. There is no way the huglu is in the same league as a browning or even a red label. The resale value stinks as well. Do yourself a favor and get a good used gun to start with. You can always trade up if you have something some other guy wants. Plenty of guys want the Browning...huglu, not so much. |
