Over under

[Claybuster]

The debate over inertia versus mechanical triggers will never end. I've used both and there are pluses and minuses for each. I wouldn't turn down either in the right gun.

The debate however is over for Winchester. While the Japanese-made 101s used mechanical triggers the newer models made in Belgium are inertia.

Of the two guns pictured above I like the Winchester just on looks alone.

X2 The trigger systemis the LAST thiung IU even try to considerwhen looking at a prospective purchase.

I'm buying the Winchester when the registry falls.

I just went with a Citori although I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet...

I like the Browning... I would never buy something that nice to hunt with....lol

The gun below is my hunting shotgun. it is a 20 gauge Grade 6 Citori Skeet gun made in 1988. Of course I would never have purchased a new Grade 6 gun. I paid less for this gun than a new Citori skeet gun in the lowest grade costs, and it is in very nice condition. I have owned seven Citori shotguns in 12,20, and 28gauge, and the only trouble that I have ever had was with a new gun that had a bit of grit in the trigger mechanism. A quick cleaning, and it has been perfect ever since.

Why not?
I hunt with several very nice guns and love them.
The only time I use my CZ Hammer Classic is if i know I'm going into so e REALLY lousy weather or lots of water, other than that my other guns get used.

I have the Citori and so far so good. The reason for the extra pound is tame some of the recoil in the 3.5" shells. I like it but it isn't as comfortable as my 525, but then I have put a few k in rounds through the 525. I had a Winchester select energy before the 525 and it was a nice gun but I didn't shoot it well. For a dedicated waterfowl gun I have my sx3 and love it. It just feels wrong wading in the mud or laying in a field with a $1700 over and under.

That's why I use my $1,000 SXS!
My kid's main waterfowl O/U however was bought just for that, and it was a custom ordered job - he thinks nothing of it, especially when he's dropping ducks and geese way past my max range!
