coolrwatt1 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I posted on here the other day about a super black eagle and thanks to everybody that helped out but i went for the urika 2 black synthetic. It just felt better and that settled it so now i just have to wait to wednesday until it comes in(longest 5 days of my life). What do other users think of the urika? Are there any problems i should look out for? Thanks. Ricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Mate has a Beretta Teknys Sport Gold - probably had 1000 shells through it. Jams at least 5 times in every 100 shots. He cleans it properly. I don't know where they get their reputation for reliability from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Can you tell me a bit more about the urika 2 black synthetic, I am going to buy a beretta semi auto but am not sure which one and I am trying to decide, I will use it for foxes, pigeon and wildfowling. I was going to but an xtrema 3 1/2" but i am not sure it is worth the extra money and how many gunshops sell 3 1/2" cartridges??? very few?. What about the Tekyns, I like the look of the new urika2 synthetic but one thing that is putting me off is the weight of the gun as quoted on GMK website, it weighs about the same as the xtrema and if the weight quoted is correct it is quite a bit heavier than the old synthetic urika1, do you know the reason for this extra weight, is it because it comes with the kick-off butt pad and do you know if it can be bought without the kick-off pad???

njc110381 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 If you're fowling I'd get the Xtrema. A lot of the big Steel shot loads are 3.5". I think you're supposed to step up two pellet sizes to what you'd use in lead, so you need the extra length to get enough pellets in to get a decent pattern.

Wookie Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've got an Urika 2 Xtra grain and it's lovely. It's only had a few hundred rounds through it as yet, but no signs of a jam and that has been everything from hushpower to Eley Realtree. It's heavier than my OU, but it just shoots so much better (for me anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more, there isn't a 12bore cartridge available that you can't shoot through an Extrema, 3 1/2" shells are more available than you think. And Remington nitro steel are the finest and hardest hitting I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 have had a urika sporter about 5 years now, Its had many thousands of carts through it, it is bashed, abused, rarely cleaned, but reliable, I can count the number of jams on one hand, perhaps those who suffer jams are putting to much oil on? cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 .... perhaps those who suffer jams are putting to much oil on?cheers KW Although I have a Remmy 11-87 which in 7 years has had 1 jam, I think KW has hit the nail squarely on the head again !!
