Cheers Tom first thing i would say is does the bettinsolli fit you? have you tryed a browning. there a marmite gun you either like them or hate them. they have one at my local club i always get on well with shooting it.But get the usual people saying how they would not own one.

elgreco Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I bought the gun new at bywell shooting ground, the bloke who sold me it seemed to think it was right and I am getting better with practice. I haven't had a chance to try a Cynergy yet but wouldn't commit until I get a go of one. I am attracted to the styling and hope I'm not disappointed when I eventually get to try one. Any offers of a try of one in the northeast would be great! Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I love mine and there's now 6 Cynergys (mix of Black Ice and former trees) out of 20 guns at my strawbaler! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hope to try one out this weekend at the Avalon open day, been on my wish list for a while tried one in a shop and it felt lovely and I have a 525, if you can try one nothing else like it on the market ( apart from the hatsan lookalike) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreco Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi steve did you buy a new one? And if so did you negotiate a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I love mine (although it is a 28g). Sportsman have 20 bores on offer for around £1200. Have you tried weldon gun rooms? If you ever want to sell it I think a plastic stock on a shotgun has a limited audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think they're horrible things I've always used Berettas or a Baikal. Had a go with a plaaaaaarstic Synergy recently. Thought it was going to fall apart in my hands when I opened it Like a BB gun. Give me the Baikal any day, if the Beretta wasn't available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I had a shot with one, did not think it was that good for the price. There are better guns out there for your money and I have very rarely seen them at a clay shoot, that must give you a clue on what to buy. I would not class one as an "upgrade" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me the Baikal any day, if the Beretta wasn't available You're 'avin' a giraffe int cha?? :blink: The action on Cynergy's locks and unlocks like no other gun i've ever used, mine is still as tight as the day i bought it 4 years/30,000 cartridges ago, most standard mechanisms have got a right flop-on by then! And as for build quality, well put it this way, mine survived without a scratch (inside a slip), being ran over by a car with 5 people in Maybe you're brain's telling your eyes/hands something different because of a walnut/blued barrel prejudice?? Same as when people hold mine and remark at how light it is . . . nope, its a 7.5lb like most clay guns! Agree on the price though Mark Edited June 1, 2011 by Breastman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreco Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Blazer why you trading it in? What condition is it in? And are you getting a good price?? Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 If someone was organising one I'd go I find it stressful enough organising shoots for people I know and I can shout at/swear at/ punch them Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Blazer why you trading it in? What condition is it in? And are you getting a good price?? Cheers Tom I don't have one to trade in, just see how much a dealer will give for a Cynergy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreco Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Sorry I misunderstood thought you had one to trade in. If anyone was willing to meet and allow me to try thier Cynergy that would be much appreciated nearest clay ground to me is Dinnington but haven't got a problem travelling within reason Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I love mine, its well balanced,I love the styling and its well made despite what chard said, 20,000 carts later tight as the day i bought it.................very little recoil, AND if it rains it wont damage it, I think they are a fab mid priced clay gun!!! :good: :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Is there anyone in the northeast got one that would let me try it out?? Cheers Tom Sorry missed your earlier post. You're welcome to have a go of mine but I rarely get up Steve Smiths these days. I go to a strawbaler everyother Wednesday, where you could have a go. It's one of the farms on Marks Lane between Leamside and West Rainton, Co Durham. Next one is 15th. If you want to shoot clays it's £18 for visitors (50 clays/cartridges). If you just want a quick test of how it feels just come early and we could do that. Shooting starts at 6pm sharp, or come over about 530pm if you just want a try. The other lads with Cynergys will probably be there too so you could try out a few different flavours Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting what you say about yours getting run over. The one that I tried was trodden on by one bloke at the Essex Masters and it was ****** :lol: :lol: It had to go to the gunshop to get the rod in the stock straightened or re-aligned or somesuch. I'm not anti-plaaaaarstic. One of my favourite guns was my Mossberg pump, which I've now sold. Horses for courses really I guess. I'm a clumsy ****** and it felt like it would fall apart if I mucked about with it for too long, so I gave it back Edited June 2, 2011 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 What's that supposed to mean? I believe that they have a poor trade in value compared to a conventional shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Seems an odd comment? See what a dealer will give you for anything... do you mean all cynergy? Or just the Composite ones? All Cynergy versions, they are not a popular gun. Last years comments http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/4732-browning-cynergy/ I know a bloke who's selling one though, I will get in touch with him to see which model it is.
