THANKS EVERYONE
I've got a ported Browning Cynergy 12g OU I'd probably let go reasonably. I never use it, actually letting a friend's son use it to see if he likes it before they go buy a new one. I bought it used a few years ago.
I picked mine up NIB from Cabelas, I worked a deal with their gun library while trading in another shotgun so everybody won.
just wondered i wanted to see one but it shows none in stock.
Curious to your point/ranking on the CZs have you ran them in the field, or just at skeet? I’ve put about 300 rounds through mine and been pleased with performance on flat range and in cold heavy rain in the field so far. Field use it has seen so far was rough upland hunting, so it hasn’t been through a waterfowl season with me yet (I’m not very nice to my true hunting/resource guns).
I had snagged the last cerakoted one they had at the time. FWIW the reason I chose the cz upland all terrain was for the anti-rust cerakote and none automatic safety’s which proved to be invaluable this last pheasant hunt.
I’m allergic to full retail anything outside of emergencies. The vast majority of my experience is with a woodcock 410 on clays/doves and I actually like the gun very much. I don’t think it is made anymore, but it was around $1000msrp. While I like it a lot and it has not failed in any way, I would not pay retail for it.
Info
I have a 12 ga Feather Cynergy and like it a lot. I like a low receiver and it has that, the lowest if I remember correctly. I love the Citori's but much prefer the lower receiver on the Cynergy. The butt pad on the Cynergy, I don't remember the name for the crazy looking one that many people don't like the looks of, is on mine and I like it a lot. It's very good in my opinion. Really you just have to pick up a lot of them and see what fits you the best.
All I'm gonna say is, in my years of owning a number of different shotguns and trying friends' stuff out, I find that some of the less expensive brands are also less quality. Back in the 70's I had a Rossi coach gun- 18" barrels and hammers. I would be bored and take it and an old spring clay thrower out to the river- shot clays till I ran out of shells- granted I was only 10 feet behind the thrower, I would load it- pull the rope and got to where I would hit every clay that came out- after about a 1000 rounds of doing that, some of the internal parts broke and I have to make a $50 fix on a $150 gun, 70's remember. I tried to only buy quality stuff since then. Brought an old Italian revolver off a guy on Facebook one time- same deal- it locked up and was nothing but a boat anchor. Buy quality has paid off cause because I've only had one other deal since then. Had an Ithica 20 ga that would take 3" - they must have been too much cause same kind of deal- $150 fix on what was probably a $300 gun at the time. Try to get quality I say.
