A bit of advice please

[Wilky]

Last year I wanted a cheapish knockabout rough shooting 12g and I bought a Sarriugarte 28" MC O/U ejector. The gun is in good nick and I shoot very well with it, I'm pleased with it's fit, balance and use. It's just that I've never heard of them, I know it's Spanish and that's it, I wondered if anyone could tell me anything about them.

I don't mind if it's not the best news, because the gun suits me, I shoot well with it and it does all that I want in a gun, so I'm not looking for reassurance, just a bit of info.

 

Thanks in advance

may give you some idea

 

the father-Francisco-and two sons joined DIARM in 1986. After the demise of DIARM in 1988, the F. Sarriugarte gun mfg operation did not reform & ceased to exist.

Wilky, you have something there that a lot of "label concious" shooters out there could do with - a gun that fits you, you like shooting and shoot well with

 

Its all fine and well having the latest beretta bling but if it don't fit you, what's the point!

Thanks for that fella, the guns a nice thing right enough and it suits me just fine, just wondered if anyone knew anything about the name as I've never heard of them, however, when I first handled it I was looking at this gun and a second hand Winchester, the Winchester was like a lead cannon, it weighed a bloody ton, so I bought the Sarriugarte and it wasn't expensive and I'm not worrying too much about scratching the stock etc. at the end of the day, it's a working gun and it'll get plenty of work.
