HDAV Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 OK i have seen a couple of guns in the hemisphere of my budget, 32" MK38 grade 1 or 32" CG summit, both used i know the MK38 is the more reliable gun, i shoot a 525 at the moment. Looking for a trap gun, both MC neither adjustable stocks. Both a drive away so, buy RFD to RFD and hope? Drive 4-5h round trip (opposite directions) to try them? If so which one? Or stick an adjustable trap stock on 525? Just to be clear this isn't about need, its want, I want to buy another gun, (have ulterior motive) but i'm not having much luck finding one.......So of these 3 options which to go for?

manton Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ceasar Guerini are fantastic handling guns but I have heard adverse comments about their durability when they are compared to a Browning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 You've got a 525, you're used to the feel of that type of gun so an MK38 all day long. Time proven mechanicals always easy to sell on with 32" barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 MK38 every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 They have different actions, which do you prefer? I personally prefer the Browning/Miroku full hinge pin, depite it resulting in a deeper action when compared to the split, trunnion type of hinge on the Berretta/CG. The CGs sure do look the part though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 CG for me but it's a personal preference thing if you like your 525 I would go MK38 if I was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) A Miroku Trap gun would be easier to sell on if you find you don't get on with it as they've long been thought of as the best value for money gun for ESP as well as Trap games. The CG's reputation is improving almost daily and it's likely to be as good a purchase too, but their actions are considered to be slim profile as opposed to the lumpier Miroku, which do you prefer ? I buy guns unseen all the time but have found a couple of CG's I handled had very long trigger to finger reaches which felt odd, almost uncomfortable, others have remarked the same so can't just be me. If they're priced the same then the CG would be worth a punt in my view. Edited January 28, 2014 by Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningDJC Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Heard bad things about CG's in quality terms compared to the miroku, they feel much cheaper to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I haven't shot one and the one I was looking has gone as has the MK38..... Too slow again! I've only shot the 525 for the last 3 years so I'm not exactly sure I prefer it, it fits and I'm capable of breaking clays with it. Just not as often as I would like to rarely shoot a straight! The rather limited choice of LH guns is an issue the answer is I need to try shooting one wonder if guerini are doing any demo days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 There was an adjustable stock for a browning Miroku on Guntrader or Gunstar the other week for not to much. May open up you options and help you sell when that time comes. I've got an Miroku 7000 trap for sale but it's a righty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an Miroku 7000 trap for sale but it's a righty Seen a couple of stocks, having another gun would be handy at the mo as I have a mate who comes with me who is also LH and waiting for SGC to arrive but has no funds to buy. Having 2 would allow us to shoot on the same line in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 SO today i tried a 32" 3800 for a gun heavier than my 30" 525 and longer but it balances right on the pin and feels much lighter in the hands. I bought it so i'll see how i get with it...... Still interested to try a CG at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have a CG, moved from a beretta, also had miroku and Brownings. I think the build and quality of the CG is as good as all the above. I am talking standard not EELL's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 CG handle very much like Berettas in my experience - so the choice is really the old Beretta / Browning (Miroku) question. I like both, but Miroku has better re-sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Always shot berettas till i bought my guerini summit.handled a beretta on thursday night for the first time in months.it felt awful compared till my own gun.have a browning trap im selling and it will be another guerini to replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well i have ended up with a 3800... the balance is stunning feels very light in the shoulder and very pointable despite being longer and heavier than the 525. Still want to get my hands on a LH CG trap when i can and give it a go. But so far very pleased..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
