Peter De La Mare Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) I really should stop visiting gun shops, this is my 3rd change in a year. Saw it on the rack, it looked all shiney and new and after a quick finger bang I had to have it. It's a grade 5 Caesae Guerini Maxum with 32" barrels. 33" including the extended chokes.

Mungler Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Nice bit of kit. If I changed my proper shotty I would be sniffing one of those out. Shame you walked past the F3's to get to it. Never mind, there's always next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks chaps Mung, I did have a hardon for an F3 Pro but I couldn't quite get over how plain they are. I was orginally hooked by the new gimmicks they have, like the weights under the fore-end, but then my enthusiasm waned as I was waving it around in the shop. I'm a bit of a tart y'see and like a bit of bling, as long as it's not over done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Oh well I am sure you will get a reasonable price for it when you PX it for an F3. Looks a bit like a Rizzini to me :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I bought the F3 because it had no bling. Bling won't break clays or hit birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Nice gun Pete, I hope you shoot well with it, most people find that their scores improve a tad when they change guns because they try a bit harder with the new bit of kit. Remember not to overchoke on most Sporting birds, 1/4 & 1/4 or 3/8 is all you will need for 90% of Sporting targets. A lot of people seem to be shooting Krieghoff's nowadays, can't think why 'cos they handle like a scaffold pole to me, and they're ridiculously overpriced, I suppose if they get some "bling" from being seen with one, good for them..??

Peter De La Mare Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I bought the F3 because it had no bling. Bling won't break clays or hit birds :o I never implied that it did. I just mentioned that I'm a tart and like shiney beautiful things. :o There's no shame in having a bit of pride in your equipment is there? Else you'd have a Subaru Brat instead of your posh X5. Very nice. Explains why Neville likes you so much I've always been a shop keepers dream.

Cat. Thanks Cat. Looking forward to seeing how I get on with 32" barrels, hoping for an improvement all around. The Guerinis pattern better with Skeet and 1/4 than my Browning ever did with half/half or more. There's a lot of features in this gun that are usually found on higher end guns. Basically, they throw stunning patterns. Talking about Krieghoff. If I wasn't having my 2009, year+ long, sabbatical from work, I'd probably have walked out of their with a K80 Supersport Pro. The latest model with the high rib is beautiful. I openly brually rape myself in the middle of the gun shop until they're covered up or I'm thrown out. What can I say? I'm a sucker for good marketing. :o :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
