Well a fella at my club is now a dealer for Caesar Guerini shotguns ( as well as other makes) . A number of guys have bought the combo set or the un-single. I have shot the unsingle and to be honest, what a nice gun. The forcing cones are really long and the fit and balance make it one nice gun. Comparable to a Perazzi at half ( or less) the cost.

After all that Beretta talk.....I think I may save a few pennies for one of these.

Anyone else try one ??
 
I almost bought one myself, but then that Franchi "monkey on my back" kept popping up, and I bought another one in 20 O/U;).
The Guerinis are nice guns, for sure.....

Guerinis are pretty popular in this part of the world and they are respectable guns. I don't think they are comparable to a Perazzi for a variety of reasons but they are good value for the money.

I looked at a Guerini Summut 20/28 combo and for the price it was a very impressive gun.
 
I don't think I have seen a gun ( Perazzi or other) with forcing cones like those. That really helps recoil.

Perazzi are nice and very good guns Claybuster, but quite a few guys who own Perazzi's have said the two are comparable in terms of shootability. I don't know ( and I intend to find out) if Guerini's have a drop out trigger ??

I wouldn't necessarily disagree about the shootability of the Guerini guns except their triggers are sometimes a little draggy. The Guerinis do not have drop out triggers but then neither do many Perazzis.

My question is how they sustain in the long term. I'd like to see what one of these guns looks like after 50 or 60 thousand rounds. This isn't to say they can't get there I just haven't seen it yet. I know several guys who own Guerinis but none of them are using it as their main gun.

The gun that I almost bought was a Guerini Summit Sporter with 32" barrels in 20 and 28 gauge. Had I not already bought a 28 gauge gun I'd have definitely bought the Guerini. It was very nice.

This is a really good question and one I did not think of

I purchased a Guerini 12 ga Summit LTD / 32, took posession early Nov. The trigger on mine is not draggy, but crisp and with no objectionable take-up or overtravel. No drop out trigger assy like all other O/U' s I have owned(about a dozen) nor have needed one as I have not had a malfunction with any.

Long term I shall find out in time, passed only my first thousand rounds so far. For me, having fired a flat each in two B guns , A 525 and 682 E, before rolling the dice and purchasing the Summit, I truly do prefer the Summit in all respects including fit, swing, heft and perceived recoil. Looks prettier too,lol, and seems to be at least as well built as the two B guns mentioned.

I own the shotgun you mention - I've run 10k through it without a hiccup.
Trigger is crisp on mine. Swings great and fits good.
