I just assumed that gun was made for the European market and not readily available in the U.S. Dave has just turned our world upside down! |

It is one cool shotgun. Think Citori on steroids. |

Nice gun Dave! I've thought about getting a dedicated single trigger target gun, but don't shoot enough clays yet to justify it. Happy for you! |

Thanks Mark and DUKFVR. I had it out at the 5-stand today, and I really like how it shoots. |

Super gun, Dave. How will you ever miss with that little beauty?
On a recoil pad that's too grippy, try a discretely-placed strip of black electrical tape. Size the tape strip to leave just as much "grippy-ness" as you like. On pads that are too slippery (Galco leather slip-ons, for instance), I use tan-colored 3M Nexcare Absolute Waterproof cushioned tape -- again, sized and placed for a "grip" that feels right. Looks like the pad on your new gun might be a little square edged at the heel, too -- might need a little heel taper or edge rounding to facilitate your mount. Get some of that sharp blue 100 grit sandpaper, tape it tight around a flat stick (paint stirring stick?), and use it like a file to shape the pad to your preference.
Cheers!

Thanks, Tony. I did just what you said last week in strategically adding a strip of electrical tape around the top and halfway down the sides of the pad. It works well! I also took some flat black paint and covered the shiny mid bead and the rear surface of the fiber optic front bead. Much better! I have no bead on my Beretta OU and shoot it well. |

I shot probably 350-400 rounds through it without a hitch then last week I finally shot it at paper to check the barrel regulation and patterns. After about the 4th shot I couldn't open the gun to eject the empties. Finally I got it open by thumping it against my knee with considerable effort and out popped the hulls. The hulls looked OK with no primer drag marks and I was thinking, "Great, I'll probably have to send it in right away for repair." Then last Thursday I shot 75 rounds at 5-stand, and yesterday another 100+ at super sporting without a hint of trouble.
As I was reorganizing my shooting bag and leftover shells I spotted the round below. The bulge wraps all the way around the backside of the hull. It's a factory Herter's, 1 oz. 8's. The plastic leans away from the brass (steel) in the direction of the bulge. Mystery solved.
I believe I read somewhere that the quality of the Herter's shell slipped near the end of the run. Keep an eye on them.

Ditto. I have about 12 cases of Herters but have not noticed this so far. Haven’t really been looking tho. |

Looking back I do remember a couple were a little tight going into the chamber. I should have examined them to see why, but I just assumed the brass was a little oversized. That and I’m used to shooting some less than perfect reloads now and then. Won’t make that mistake again.
(Note the handle change.) |
