I had an ill-fated relationship with a Kolar. Went to WI got a fitting, picked my own wood and a custom stock made by them. Beautiful, well made outstanding gun. NEVER could shoot the damn thing! Shot it for a year exclusively just could never make it work for me. Went back to my DT-10 and eventually had a Perazzi made to my specs. Best decision I've made with guns. They are awesome guns. American made craftsmanship at it's finest but, not for everybody. Good luck in your venture, Steve

So I have the Kolar which feels really lively and I have a K-80 with thin walls and a back bored barrel at 8 1/2 pounds and it is pretty lively. I have held 4 Perazzi's that people I know have and all but one felt lifeless to me. I think that part of the reason I bought the Kolar is that there is only one gun with different ribs. What is the spec on your gun that makes you like it so much. I am in Spokane Washington so to handle any Perazzi's would be a plane ride to CA or MI.

The total gun weighs 8#4oz.barrels are 32" 1.54kg fixed chokes. Slim field forend. I specified the gun to balance 1/4" forward the hinge. It just all comes together. It's as lively as I would want it to be. It's funny but after you've shot for a while and handled alot of guns you certainly develop a feel. Of course, They're ALL different even within the same make and model oddly enough. Steve
