Your poll is confusing. Your question cannot be answered accurately by "Yes" or "No".

 

As hard as it is for most of us to wrap our heads around, a $1500 over/under is a actually very much an entry level gun. The Cynergy CX at that price is actually a bargain. You can not expect the fit and finish of a $10,000 gun. I would take it in and have them check the stock fit and tightness of the stock and forearm. Lots of stocks end up cracked from being too tight or too loose. Tightening the stock to remove gaps could actually be a structural mistake. Applying some oil to the stock over a period of time can actually improve the looks, but don't expect it to look like Grade 8. I like Howard's Feed n Wax for touch ups. Have the gun checked out and then go enjoy it.

 

I'm a big Miroku/Browning fan but that does not extend to the Cynergy. I never saw it as an improvement over the older Citori action design. I know some like it. It's interesting to note that while Miroku markets under their own brand versions of the older Citori action and the newer 725 action they do not market their version of the Cynergy action.

You can try addressing the loosening screws issue with some blue 242 Loctite. Since you didn't post a picture of the stock, I can't comment of your specific issue. I have noticed that with most of the recent Browning oil finished stocks the grain is not properly filled in. I'm sure this is a cost-savings meant to produce to a price point. Not a big issue and $1,500 is not a lot for an O/U shotgun. It's actually on the lower end of the spectrum for a decent shotgun. It's not a big deal to have the stock refinished. I shoot with a fellow that had a proper nice oil finish put on his 725 and I'm thinking about doing that to my 20 ga. 725 Sporting, but I like it and shoot it so much I don't want it to be in a shop for several weeks.

 

Did you look at it when purchasing? You should do of seen flaws and especially before you shot it, that's on you !
The stock needing tightening and Forearm tightening is General Maintance put blue locktight on it and it's fixed.
Yes $ 1,500 is a entry level O/U

 

In my opinion taking the gun back would be overreacting. You need to buy some screwdrivers that properly fit the gun and learn how to maintain it. Guns are not as easy to return as TV sets anyway. It might take a couple of tries to get the stock and for end seated well. I would consider that to be fairly normal wear in.

 

Thank you everyone for the replies! I know it sounds i was on a hissy fit, but even though the gun is low end for an over under, it is still a Browning. If I wanted issues with a new gun, I would've bought a Stoeger. Anyways, Scheels let me return it, and I was overjoyed at how generous and understanding they were. The store will definitely have my business in the foreseeable future.

 

Into each life a little rain must fall, and if someone
shows up with an umbrella, I guess you are just
blessed.

 

Scheel's has always been good to me. Glad to hear you got treated well. Did you buy a different gun from them after they handled your return so graciously?

I am actually in the process of choosing between the Rizzini BR110 and the Beretta Silver Pigeon 1, but I'm not sure if I want to get it at scheels, or my local cabelas, which can get them quite easily. I don't feel obligated to buy a gun from scheels, as I buy plenty of other items there like ammo, gear, etc, that if added all up, is much more than the price of mid to high priced shotgun.

 

I've got a BR110 & I love it. My brother has a Silver Pigeon and I made my decision after seeing and using his gun. Beretta is going to have better parts and accessory availability of course but the Rizzini fits me to a T, the Beretta not so much.

That is encouraging news. I've handled quite a few Silver Pigeons as of late, and 90% have had atrocious wood, even for their entry level gun. I think they put more effort into the laser engraving on the receiver. I'm hoping the Rizzini, with the plain receiver, has higher quality wood. Aside from fitting you, do you think the overall fit and finish of the Rizzini trumps the Beretta?

Thank you for all the info.

The fit on mine is perfect and the figure is really pretty. I've seen good fit on Berettas too but I agree that their wood can run kind of plain. The BR110 is supposed to have a lower grade of walnut than the more expensive Rizzinis but I've never seen a bad example.
