BlaserF3 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I tried one of those at Malmo's last month, I had to slam it shut! Not too bad to shoot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I tried one of those at Malmo's last month, I had to slam it shut! Not too bad to shoot though. Mine was slightly stiff but after a couple of hundred shots its was lovely rather have it tighter than loose that's for sure...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) The K80 and Blasers for that matter are fine guns as are Perazzi and DT10/11 but you can fit new barrels to anything, if you need a new set of barrels badly but are not prepared to wait one hour for a gunsmith to get it fitted then I suppose the K80/Blaser make a lot of sense!

b16jus Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks to all for your fantastic replys. Seems the Kreighoff v Perazzi is a even match just personal preference All the guns have there fair share of use so deff want something that will stand up to fair use. I am a tart and love a good looking gun so as much as they shouldnt be a decider looks deff are. Never seen a Browning Prestige before but deff looks tarty and on the money too, will have a read up on reviews J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I like light and balanced so of that lot I'd go Perazzi, but there's no value for money there. When it was time for me to buy my 'special' gun I picked up every gun in the shop and settled on one particular Blaser F3. I've picked up lots of other people's F3s and not one has compared to mine. So interesting was this phenomena we took my F3 apart and weighed the component parts and the adjustable weights in it. The moral of the story is each gun is slightly different and there will be one that you will find amazing. Don't get fixed on buying a particular brand or model, try them all.

That's the good thing also about the k80 barrels are readily available and fit straight on very handy indeed....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Looked at the DT11 and the zoli z sport and tried a demo of the zoli shot with it better than my benelli and SP1, but not as well as I did with the escort, both guns were the first time I shot them on the skeet layout. Thought should I treat myself to the zoli after a long thought decided to expensive for some thing that goes bang and at that price would want to make sure it really fitted me. Instead sold my other guns and ordered a A400 xcel to keep the escort company. Edited October 24, 2012 by BerettaSV10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I don't recall too many Kreighoffs in the medals at the Olympics. They all seemed to be using Perazzis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I don't recall too many Kreighoffs in the medals at the Olympics. They all seemed to be using Perazzis. Krieghoff seem to be supporting several of the younger American shooters. I expect there will be plenty of them on the podium soon. I've shot all of the guns in the OP (haven't owned them though) and have to say that the Krieghoff was by far the nicest to shoot. Looks-wise it's not everybody's cup of tea, but they do have a certain je ne sais quoi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmicblue Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 You don't have to go to Italy to get a custom made Perazzi....more like East Sussex: http://www.highclays.com/ I was also in the market for a bit of serious indulgence and tried several circa £10k guns - not all guns, even Perazzis are created equally and some can be improved still further and that seems to be the case here. I never understood what perfect balance meant in shotgun terms - and the effect it has on your shooting performance until I tried an HPX. I approached the evaluation with a hugely cynical head - my 30" UltraXS is very good, the 33" HPX reference sporter was amazing, like no other gun I've ever tried - and the evaluation gun didn't even fit me that well and the layout was a FITASC pool shoot (Grimsthorpe Shooting Estate) - really mean targets, no problem. It was as though the moment you thought of pulling the trigger you were already seeing the target break - spooky. 6 weeks into a 4 month wait for the made to order/my dimensions...worth it though.

I agree the HPX seem to be a very well thought out option, I had a swing with a 33" versions a few weeks ago and it was vastly better balanced than almost anything else I've picked up. BUT it did feel too light and I'm not easily fooled, it literally felt it weighted no more than 8 lbs which to me is too light for serious clay work but the owner was more into game.

ChrisAsh Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Perazzi have Digweed :good: :good: :good: Kreighoff :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: Only a matter of how many a company want to sponsor, none of the top guys and girls buy their guns, Sponsorship and martketing go a long way at selling percieved quality which may not really be their be it cars or guns, Many smaller makes are probably just as good but cannot afford marketing budgets like the big boys Edited October 25, 2012 by ChrisAsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Following this rather tenuous argument, the best gun would be the one that fewest top shots use - e.g. Baikal. Vostok and Merkel made better guns than Kreighoff, in my opinion. There are a host of others who make them just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 why are Parazzi's so expensive?out of interest. Is it because they spend so much on sponership? Or because they are not over-automated,are they finished better and better balanced because they are hand finished,or because the options list means you can personalize your gun to perfection? Or is just the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
