I am residing in Pakistan! Prices of shotguns are way high if compared to that in Europe or America! I purchased Beretta Urika 2 Gold (If convert) at 2980 USD$. before that I owned Winchester Super X3 and prior to that Beretta Urika Synthetic. I sold Synthetic for its weight that was too much for me and quite disturbing on upland shoots. Winchester was bit better in weight and its shouldering was marvelous. But there were problems with its bolt and it used to get jammed in a way that you had to put a lot of force to cock it!
Beretta Urika 2 Gold was the gun I used to fantasize a lot as I have never been to this forum and couple of my friends have it and as per their feedback it is THE GUN! no problems! I purchased it couple of weeks back. Under its barrel it is marked CA in a small square which means it is manufactured in 2006! So far I have not even fired more than two boxes but all mix some heavy some light loads. Have not observed any FTF or FTE so far but only a single incident of missfire...that particular incident was with locally produced top of the line No.7 cartridge. Otherwise is working fine with No.4, 8 and 6! Missfire! was first ever case in my career of shooting of over 16 17 years! I have used double barrels SxS O/U semis but no missfires! I did not realise on the hunt that what has happened as when I pulled the trigger it was click and a cartridge came out of magazine tube and got fixed in a career along with one missed and lying in chamber! I thought that I probably touched the small holding button on career but later when I checked the cartridge it had a striking mark on its primer but it was somehow appeared to me as so thin. Now, the question is....it because my gun is still going through its break in period or is it a common fault of U2 Gold! After reading couple of hundred posts over here I am shivering with thoughts that what would happen next FTF due to career, FTE due to someother reasons and etc. Had I read these all posts I would have purchased some other gun preferably Benelli Crio Deluxe...or Benelli CrioComfort. Over here due to some restrictions am no able to order a new career or any part not even a simple choke tube! Need to have a gun that works JUST FINE! Do let me know what should I do with the missfire thing? SHould I wait till it happens again or should I get the bolt assembly out of the gun and clean it of cosmolines!
