I shoot both a Cynergy CX and a Euro Sporting with the goofy recoil pad. The thing to watch out for is making sure the LOP is the same on both. If I remember correctly the Euro Cynergy has a slightly shorter LOP with the standard spacer on the pad. I have found them both reliable and comfortable to shoot.

 

I like the Cynergy’s. I’d love a feather in 12 gauge

 

Is the comb height adjustable? It looks like from that picture it's a moveable piece??

 

the comb is replaceable in the wicked wing models for cast, but height is fixed if I am reading everything correctly. On the other models it is adjustable. Good thing is the sight plane is all correct for me.

 

I have tried to like my DU Cynergy WW, but can't really warm up to it.

 

The Cynergy Wicked Wing 28" (Bottomlands) was the first shotgun I ever bought for myself, and I have been loving it for the past year. Mine has as smooth an action as any other shotgun I've handled so far, and better controls. It hit two green-wing teal in its first flush while jump hunting an arroyo. The stock invector plus chokes have served admirably (F top/M bot), but I just stuck a set of Carlson's Bismuth Bone Busters in there (ER/MR) for comparison (and matte black color.) This weekend I'm going on a combo fly fishing/bird hunting trip, so we'll see if I get to shoot at anything.

I wish I could take it to a clay range at a shooting club, but alas I am not a member. Next year!

Also I believe the comb height is adjustable. See: How do you change comb and comb height on the composite stock Cynergy shotgun?

 

Very nice! I’m just about out the door for the Michigan duck opener in my zone. I’ve been using a Beretta Xtrema since that gun debuted (20 years ago perhaps?), and while I love it, just last night I was reading about Cynergy Wicked Wings. It might be time for a change…

…enjoy your nice new gun!

 

Me and my son went out this morning for a couple hours about 10 miles from the house on some public. Migrators aren’t coming in but today was the first freeze of the year here, 28 degrees when we left the house. We got a mixed bag of gadwalls and teal, my son had fun and shot more than me but I shot enough to know I like the gun.

It’s about 1 lb lighter than my satin hunter, but the balance point is a little further forward on the cynergy, so they swing almost identical for me. Recoil was milder, enough to notice. All in all I shot it pretty well.

We got the dog some work too!

It is adjustable - I have one. Just pop the pin out and adjust as required

 

I really want one in bottomland to match my silver. But I built a 450 Bushy AR and bought my daughter a NOS NEF NWTF Jakes .410/.22 so I'm once again not getting one this year.
At the same time I keep the hope up they'll make a 16 or a 20.

 

I have the same gun, sweet shooter

 

2nd trip out teal hunting and still loving it, definitely a keeper.
Bring on the snows, blues, specs and pheasants now.

 

Excited to take it hunting on the Rio Grande this week! Haven't hunted over decoys with it yet. Only thing I wish it had were sling swivels~

Patterned it with some 2.75" and 3" BOSS Warchiefs last weekend, and it did well at 40yd with Carlson's Bismuth Bone Buster MR/ER. My aim wasn't perfect, but I was just freehanding.

 

Carried it yesterday on about a 4 mile jaunt during resident only pheasant opener here and I have no complaints at all carrying it as well.

 

I have the same gun that I bought used last year. The model I have was before the “Wicked Wing” name and has 28” camo design barrels. The comb height is adjustable, remove the small steel pin with a punch. One issue I had was getting water in the mechanism. I solved this by removing the stock and applying a thin coat of grease on the mating surfaces.

shoots 3.5” shells without horrible recoil although I prefer 3”. I Camo painted a set of Carlson chokes or use black internal chokes.

I don’t really like how the barrels open but it works just fine. There is an adjustment set screw in the forpiece .

 

Picked up a new cynergy wicked wing a couple days ago and will put it to the first field test this afternoon.

Gun pulls up and fits me very well (with the spacer added). Action is a little stiff but not terrible, I pulled everything apart to clean and lube. The choke tubes, while nice looking seem like a gimmick as you are buying a Camo gun with bronze cerrokote, but two bright silver extended choke tubes are sticking out the end of the barrel. Well I corrected that with 2 carlsons extended IM chokes that are black, after I took the below picture. I’ll probably spray paint the ends of the original chokes tan when I get a chance.

Test fired with some 1 3/8 oz pheasant loads, 3” steel and 3 1/2” steel. Felt recoil seems less than my 3 1/2” citori even though the gun is about 1 lb lighter, most likely due to the generous recoil pad On the cynergy.

Hopefully I will shoot it well, I shot a couple cynergy cx’s over the summer and shot them well.

Here it is with my Citori Satin Hunter 3 1/2 on the right side and fathers Citori 3 1/2 on the left.

Need to get out and pattern it as well, hopefully it is similar and likes similar ammo to the citori‘s.

Now that you're partway thru your season, does it still meet your expectations? I'm on the fence about getting one. Curious is yours a28" or 30" barrel? I'm looking at the 30" model.

Yes it has met my expectations, I have shot it well over the course of the year on waterfowl and pheasants.

The only two negatives, and they are minor are as follows, at least for me.
- silver extended choke tubes, on a Camo waterfowl gun, kind of seems like a bit of an oxymoron. I get that they are made to look like waterfowl bands, but mine has black Carlson extended tubes in it.

- Trigger guard, I had to change my grip a little bit as the trigger guard was hitting my middle finger quite a bit under recoil. The grip and thickness of the trigger guard are different than the citori.

Mine is a 28”, I would go 30” if I bought it again I think.

Felt recoil is less than the citori, even though it’s a pound lighter, due to the generous recoil pad.

Overall I have ran 8 boxes of 3.5” steel and 4 boxes of 1 3/8 oz pheasant loads through it. I do notice the 1lb difference when carrying it.

 

Hey Bearfan. I'm curious if you have checked the pitch on your Cynergy compared to those other Citoris. About 10 years ago I bought a 12g composite Cynergy feather to be my lightweight pheasant gun. It turned out to have a much different pitch than my 12 g Citori. Because of the composite stock and curved recoil pad, a stockfitter told me it would be expensive to change the pitch. I sold it.

 

I have not, would you like me to check.

 

Only if you're curious. If you shoot it well, it's not an issue.

 

I do, and it seems to fit closely with my satin hunter citori, so it either is or doesn’t bother me.

My first image on the thread shows them side by side, not a measurement, but the pitch doesn’t appear to be too far off each other.

I wish we would have gotten more snow goose hunting time, but the bird flu popped up again here and we were seeing quite a few dead and dying geese around so we quit. Not as bad as last year when certain spots had hundreds dead, but enough for me to quit chasing them.

 

The comb is adjustable. You have to punch the pin out and slide it out of groves. The grooves are in 1/8 increments.
