glb8686 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've seen on many forums (including this) people giving the Cynergy a battering. Which has made me wonder, whats actually so wrong with this gun? Is it just because it looks a little different so the oldies like it as their stuck in their ways? Serious question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I wondered the same, some people seem to literally hate them. I really liked the look of them and desperately wanted one, until I shouldered one and it didn't fit me. It was disappointing but it didn't make me hate them. I've mentioned to a few people that I went to try one out with a view to buying it and they look at me in horror. I suspect many have never shot one and are just jumping on the bandwagon.

tweedledee Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think a lot of them fired high.some folk like a flat shooting gun.thought they look ok but never had any interest in them.give me Italian any day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 The rib slants downwards towards the muzzle, so it would shoot higher than any flat rib gun. The action cannot be tightened, if it ever works loose. The forend looks a funny shape and the gun is ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delburt0 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't hate them I love the looks I spent just shy of £1400.00 on one just hated the swing , very lumpy if that makes sense the trigger was also not to my liking have to give it one hell of a pull tried the different triggers and more than tried to get on with it, loved the gun just struggled to shoot it :( hence it went as I found me not wanting to take it shooting and doing better with my Remington semi.....

kdubya Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I had one a pro sport wooden stock sporter I genuinely could not hit a thing with it, I did not know and never did figure out where it was shooting high low left right , I bought it brand new so took a hit and traded it in for a 682 gold e and that was like shooting with the lights on in comparison, I now have a summit impact 32" sporter and love it.

HDAV Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Tried a black ice desperately wanted to own it tried it in the shop loved it, tried it on some clays and hated it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 just hated the swing , very lumpy if that makes sense the trigger was also not to my liking have to give it one hell of a pull tried the different triggers and more than tried to get on with it, loved the gun just struggled to shoot it Pretty good summary of what happened to almost everyone who tried to get on with the Cynergy. I know someone who still has a 32" Black Ice. He can't hit thing with it and nor can anyone else. It doesn't balance, the weight distribution is all wrong, the triggers are dire, the feel just isn't right at all and it handles like a pig on a shovel. It's the shotgun equivalent of the Skoda Estelle; not just ugly but very poor at fulfilling it's intended purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've had two a 30" and 32" sporter both never felt right and I never shot any good with them so changed to a Beretta. Got to say they were very well put together and finished. Just didn't suit me. And as GordonR said very hard to tighten up when shot loose as the action bearing face is opposite way round and bigger than normal with quadrants that slide together instead of knuckles or trunions.

Alfred Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have to admit it didn't feel great when I shouldered it in the shop, the comb was very high and I knew I'd be shooting high if I tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( not that it will need tightening, unlike those cheap Italian things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I p/x my cynergy carbon fibre a while back to get the P gun I'm using now , it was a very nice bit of kit with the unusual looking carbon effect on the stock and forend . Never had any problem with it at all and you could use it in all weathers . If one came up at a good price I wouldn't hesitate in buying one again Edited January 3, 2014 by Willpoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Oops Missed Again - the barrels don't pivot on a pin under the barrels - as with Miroku - nor have they bi-furcated pins on either side of the action - as with Beretta etc. The barrels hinge on grooves in the action and barrel. To tighten up, the grooves in either barrel or action would need to be built up and re-grooved. Possible I'm sure, but would probably cost more than the gun was worth.

Oops Missed Again Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Oops Missed Again - the barrels don't pivot on a pin under the barrels - as with Miroku - nor have they bi-furcated pins on either side of the action - as with Beretta etc. The barrels hinge on grooves in the action and barrel. To tighten up, the grooves in either barrel or action would need to be built up and re-grooved. Possible I'm sure, but would probably cost more than the gun was worth. The action block is machined from a solid steel forging. The first visible difference is the jointing seems to be back to front, with the concave curve in the block itself and the convex curve on the fore-end iron. Stub pins are built into the fore-end iron, but the gun does not truly hinge on these. They form a convenient rearward latch for the fore-end iron when the gun is assembled, and the barrels actually hinge on quarter-circle cut-outs in the action walls which engage with similarly-shaped projections in the barrel monobloc. This feature provides huge load-bearing areas compared to pins of any kind, and makes for incredibly strong jointing with little chance of ever shooting loose I cannot prove these words so I am going to buy one and strip it down. My first thoughts are that it would take 30 seconds to tighten like a lot of guns. Did you strip yours down, Gorden R, when you owned one?
