Gentlemen,

I own many high quality double guns, however the gun that surprised me the most is gun I recently purchase from a man in Va. The gun is a Huglu 200A 28 gauge SXS double gun. I bought the gun to see what the quality was like on the Turkish made SXS double guns. So far I have killed 4 Grouse with it and 3 Woodcock. The gun is extremely light at right around 5.0 Lbs. I was surprised that the gun was actually a Trigger plate gun, pretty much a knock off of the Beterra 28 gauge SXS double guns, with the same Beretta type SST and Beretta selective safety. Conservative engraving, screw in chokes with 28" Barrels. Different sportsman have advised me that the gun has a over laid lamination stock on it, if so they did one heck of job on the lamination. It does look very nice, is articulated well for bird hunting and I have shot a few rounds of Clay with her. The gun is actually to light for shooting Clays, but is one heck of a nice Grouse & Woodcock gun. The gun has about 1000 shells thru it now, and I have had absolutely no problems with the gun, nice
trigger pull on the SST, 4.8 and 5.2Lbs which is a might heavy IMO for a light 28 gauge double gun. Never any doubling and the gun patterns great with both RST SpredR's and B&P high grade shells. With 5 Screw in Beretta type chokes, the gun throws real nice bird killing patterns. I payed right around $950.00 - $1000 after picking the gun up at my FFL dealer. For the money expended, the gun surprised me, in both shoot ability and light weight. We will see what the longevity quality is like, after we have used the gun for many year.

all the best,

The Huglu 28 gauge 200A SXS double gun. Very surprised at the quality of the gun. So far I am glad I purchased the gun.

lossking,
A quality gun will be doing it's job over a longevity of time, without repairs. Your old 12 gauge Ithaca Featherlight purchased in 1969 is one of those quality guns. A quality gun will last more than a few life times, with out repairs.

I have quality L.C. Smith double guns that are over 100 years old and work like brand spanking new, look that way also.

Gentlemen,

I have to admit the CZ Bob White 28 gauge G2, really surprised me, real decent engineering, articulated perfectly for bird gunning, decent DT trigger pull, no doubling, 5 screw in chokes, decent wood and the gun is well balanced. For an entry level gun it really surprised me as a Grouse & Woodcock gun. I have 2 nice entry level Turkish double guns now, that have surprised me with their quality and handling.

all the best,

CZ Bob White 28 gauge G2, for the money a lot more than an entry level gun.
