Huglu Shotguns?

stubblejumper said:
I looked at a few of the Huglu shotguns in the store today, and they appear to be well made for the price. The higher grade guns look quite nice, and are still quite affordable. I might even end up with a 410 when the english stocked double trigger guns show up in the next order.

The 202B (also previously branded as CZ Bobwhite) mini models are great value inside a lower price bracket given the scaled frames and nice balance.

Prophet River - I notice that your new list includes the case hardened 202B in .410 with screw-in tubes (unlike the CZ specific product). What would be the price point for that SxS?

Just ordered the 200A but forgot to check how many chokes it comes with? How much are extras should we want more/different types?

5 chokes. They are beretta mobile chokes so easy to get. :) Thanks for purchase, Warren is working hard to get these listed. Quite a few up today, more tomorrow, but they are selling as they go up too. ;)

How does the quality of the Huglu's compare to the Yildiz? The price points are very similar.

Thanks!

We like the Huglus a bit more, and they have steel receivers except on the Eagle lightweight model. Fit and finish is nicer on the Huglus, especially the finish on the wood and metal. Yildiz are nice too and lighter. Remember the Huglus have been marketed as CZ shotguns for years now.

I have had both brands of these in Yildiz and CZ branded Huglu's in 12 and 20ga over/under. I found very little difference in quality between them, Wood to metal fit in both brands was excellent as was the stain finish and bluing. As stated by PR the big difference is the Huglu weights about a pound or so more due to the steel receivers, which would probably give them the edge in longevity as well I would think. If your going to use the gun more for sporting games then I would take the Huglu, but if it is to be carried more for upland then I would take the lighter Yildiz for sure. There is very little variation between how they mount and point I found with a slight edge to the Yildiz there but that is lost due to the slightly heavier felt recoil due to them been a lil lighter. Basically you would probably be happy and enjoy either brand.

Would you have a model suggestion for a first-time trap and skeet clay shooter who will use the shotgun 8 or so times a year? The Huglus Eagle has peaked my interest for the weight saving. Thank you for the responses all.

The eight savings may not be a good thing as recoil mayu become annoying if shooting 25, 50, or 100 at a time.
We do have a dedicated skeet gun:

Another to look at is the ventus, its got a nice weight and balance:

We are currently processing the wood stocked pump action guns. They are really nice. Nice walnut, well finished and very solid feel. Will be 349.00 and tax and shipping included. Even come in a hard case. We are not doing a picture of each gun, it will be a stock image on these ones. Should be online by end of today.
 
Picked up my HRZ 20" last Saturday. Finally had time to try it out last night. First off, nice looking gun. The wood to metal contacts are very tight and clean. The wood is very nice as is the metal. The hammers action cocking feels good. Balance of the gun felt good too.

Opening the action is just a little stiffer that I expected, but should loosen up with some shells. Still vastly better than a Dominion Arms 12" hammer coach gun though. After loading the barrels the action closes up effortlessly. The trigger pull feels good. What I was really surprised at, was after I shot both barrels and opened up the action, all that was needed to remove the hulls was a slight tip of the gun, and they slid right out. First time shooting.....hulls slid out easily. Each time after that also. I was impressed.

The gun comes with 5 chokes. The gun had the IC/M installed already, so I just left those in. Will play with the other chokes later.

Fired off 20 Federal 2-3/4" #7.5 target loads. Individually each barrel one a time is fine on the shoulder. Both barrels at once and you feel it. Right after both barrels simultaneously, I loaded up some 3" Winchester Double XX Magnum Copper Plated #2 shot. Individual barrels firing felt like both barrels of the #7.5 - 2 3/4" shells. Very good kick to it. Shoulder didn't really feel up to firing both barrels simultaneously of the 3" XX after that. There is no recoil pad. Only metal on the butt of the gun. Might have to look into a pad of some sort or else hopefully toughen up the shoulder a bit over time.

Overall extremely pleased with the purchase. Love the gun and the price was right too. Happy with the service from Brody when I picked it up. If you are looking for a hammer SxS coach gun, get one of these. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you Prophet River.

Many thanks for purchase and review. We find them stiff too , but that common even for our 10k+ guns. Once greased/oiled on hinges and put together and shot a few times. They 'loosen' up quickly. Thanks again and enjoy!
