Farmboy91 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I had a handle of one of these once, a tad heavy for me but it I can definitely see the appeal, lovely bit of wood on yours too 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Now let's be clear that's a lovely gun I wish you all the best with it and hope you enjoy it. But for me that wood doesn't look too clever perhaps it's the photo but it does look like transfer wood to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I've shot a couple of F16 sporters and to me they knock the spots off 725s and 692s. I wouldn't swap my Guerini for an F16 but IMO it's the best of the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) It's a decent bit of wood, not enhanced by the finish used. I've seen a number of recently made Perazzi's with some nice grain, but a similar finish makes it look plasticky. Use and enjoy, then in a couple of years when its got a ding or two, I'd get it refinished and it’ll really pop!!

Bungle The Bear Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I am a game shooter and I chopped in a SxS as I was struggling, and decided to go back to the dark side !! I shot one on a demo day and bought an f16 sporter, I can’t believe how well I shoot with it, It just seems to come up perfect every time, it’s got a fantastic trigger too, as i say I just love everything about it, and feel as though I can’t miss - but still do obviously. I shot without a doubt the best I’ve ever shot this game season past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot without a doubt the best I’ve ever shot this game season past believe me I wasn't in the market for a new gun even though the mrs gave me her approval , as you say the way it came up ,the balance , everything just seemed right , my mate was torn between a new 694 or ab F16 and after our chat with crowman our minds were made up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissmith0881 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I've been thinking of swapping my 725 for an f16 can I ask did you go 30" or 32"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
