Gunman Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) We all have our own ideas as to what is stylish and what is not when it comes to double guns . A customer brought me a gun today for some TLC as he had been rather heavy handed with it over the last couple of years . I wont mention makes at this point but it is a current O/U . I think it is one of the ugliest guns I have seen in many years with no class or saving graces at all . So fellow Pigeon Watchers , what do you think is the best and worst looking guns out there at present? Please doubles only currently on the market or in regular use.

Tim Kelly Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Most of the cheap German and Belgian guns are pretty ugly with the bold deep engraving. I have seen better quality guns where it looks fantastic, but the cheap roughly engraved guns look dreadful! Also, anyone say Kemen?

joecash Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 although the Miroku grade 1s do the job, and do it very well, many of the stocks are hardly pleasing to the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) All the Kreighoffs are ugly and I just love the Perazzis!Can see us getting along great at this years North v's South shoot Love the K80. Some Perazzi's are nice but lots of plain ones around. Love the Berreta SO5 for its simple elegant looks without much engraving. Like the round bodied action on some guns. The martini shotguns are butt ugly to me. Nothing ugly about this Kreighoff. Edited February 17, 2015 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I find the 725 sporter with the tacky engraved swirls and orange lettering is just so tasteless. I don't care how good it is, I wouldn't hand over that much money for a gun styled by the Chuckle Brothers. The field model is much nicer.

magman Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 no such thing as an ugly gun IMHO just one's that don't shoot straight like trap guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 SPAS12. Handled an ex military once once, clip mag, grenade launcher, full auto facility, folding stock, heavy as hell and handled like a railway sleeper. Dire.

winnie&bezza Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Any gun that has grade 1 basic game bird engraving. Even on browning,berettas they just look bad and plain (sorry people) especially with beech stocks (don't get me started on them) and I'd rather have a plain case hardened action as it gives it more class. And beretta 682 gold E look horrible and sporty engraving with colours. Any round actions look lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 My Urika Light is pretty unappealing but it fills a niche I can't get with any other gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 All shotguns so far? Rifle wise I think Blasers are pug ugly. Also, any kind of bullpup rifle whoever makes it. This one is probably going to make me unpopular, but I think thumbhole stocks are hideous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Kreighoff are in my opinion the ugliest of the doubles; the deep chunky engraving looks cheap ( I know it's not ) and reminds me of those light alloy cast toy guns we had as kids, but I love the floating barrels.
