What's your guy's opinion of this gun: http://www.czusa.com/product_detail.php?id=60

Cheap made bargin junk. What I have seen of this CZ stuff is the pictures always seem to look much nicer than the guns do in person.

Those Bobwhites are selling like hotcakes. And yes, while a bit heavy for me in the sixteen gauge gun, they are available. The best thing about the sixteen to me is that it has fixed chokes. I wish CZ would do that with their 12, 20, & 28 gauges so they don't have that blunderbuss look. I wouldn't go so far as to call them junk. Within their price range I'm not sure you can find a better new gun. If you wanted a properly scaled 28 gauge or .410 I can almost guarantee that you won't find any competition in that price range. Are they perfect? No they aren't, but for the price I think you'll find at least as high a percentage of satisfied users as with any other double.

I have a 200 AC (sideplate) Huglu in 16 ga with 26 ", ic/m (TR Imports gets them in many different styles and gauges beyond what CZ imports) and a CZ ringneck in 12, 26", screw-ins.

I have now put over 1500 shell through the 16 and about 700 through the 12 and haven't had a problem. Fit is good, stock on the 16 is nice (I picked it out from the website at TR Imports so I got what I thought looked best) and the 12 plain but well executed in fit and finish.

I know there are many negative opinions, some just smoke from folks who like to post or pass along "what I've heard is...", others based in facts and prior ownership. For me based upon ownership and shooting them they both function well, pattern well (well regulated and shoot the choke as marked) and I have had no problem with them and for the price I believe they are a good deal.

All I can speak from is experience, so take that for what its worth. I am sure others have varying opinions.

Chuck Lutz at TR Imports can get you what you want without too much hassle. Two things I like about the Hugulu are the double triggers and the English stock. Two things I don't like are the weight and that d**n forend!
