Cantitit Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Well after all the deliberation I was talked into trying the BROWNING CYNERGY SPORT 30" 12G O/U M/C M/C. I did a 50 bird sporting shoot and within the first few clays I realised this was the one for me! The fit was superb, weight good and cleared 38 out of 50 (bloody good for me). Next round I shot the MK70 and did 36 out of 50 again good for me but my heart was sold on the cynergy. The price was the big thing though, after a bit of haggling I got the price down from £1330 to £1175, this included slip, case, skeet, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 chokes and a cleaning kit and all in mint condition. I was told by the seller that this gun was bought new 8 months ago for £1780 by a women who just didn't like it (silly girl), so sold it back, hense what I hope is a real bargain! My wifes gonna kill me!!! Many thanks for all your help and thanks to Kibworth shooting ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 sounds like your happy with it. good shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 As long as you dont shoot it too hard it will be ok. When they are loose you have no cross pin to tighten them up and spares are quite differcult to come by if you need any as the gun hasn't taken off over here but in the US it has. A dealer near me bought 8 a year ago and has sold 1! Enough said. Cantit- sorry if i seem to be nasty about your choices but im just airing my view.

deadeye Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 congrats on your new shotgun. if you can blast 38 out of 50 targets with a new gun then i say damn good shooting and enjoy your new shotgun. i don't think that you need to worry about shooting that browning loose. you should be so lucky to have the time and energy to do that. if ever you do (and i doubt you will) you will surely have gotten your moneys worth out of it. you can obviously shoot it --- so enjoy it. when it comes to wives and guns i believe the best policy is "don't ask---don't tell" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) attn: last engineer, where would i obtain that dry lube and under what trade name is it marketed? your right about grit attaching itself to oil and lubes. on my beretta and previously on my former browning i would take my little finger and sparingly apply the grease to only the parts that pivot so as to make the break action work. your right about grit and lubes/oil. i would be all ears as to how i could obtain some of that dry lube you mentioned. i wonder if there is any down side do it in terms absorbing moisture and so causing rust/ corrososion? i live in central north carolina where the humidity(mostly in the summer) can often be 100 %. i can't help but wonder if moisture for me might be a bigger enemy than real fine grit. anyhow, your the engineer. i am a stickler about maintaining my shotguns. because of the humid climate in which i live i keep my guns wiped down regularly with a soft cotton rag and a good gun oil or break free clp. i don't slosh it on --- i just keep them wiped down--- otherwise in this climate they will rust. i have one old gun (an american parker brothers side by side) that is almost 100 years old that belonged to my great grandfather. it has received this care by 3 generations of my family and it is still in occasional use as a field gun.

Hi deadeye, As to the 321 dry film ,you should be able to get it in the states in most hardware stores, tool suplier store. If not here is the address Dow Corning corporation , Midland ,Mi , 48686-0994,USA Tele (517) 496-6000 . your point on moisture is relevent , i use it especialy for that reason ,it seals the surface of the steel from any moisture ,as i said i shoot in the winter here at around -15 -20c , coming into the club house from the field has a temp diference of around 30 degrees, the steel sweats and condensation will cover your gun ,this time of the year i cover the barrels completly inside and out ,the receiver inside only as the nitrided surface is protected anyway , my main Browning Ultra has a lot of rounds through and i mean a lot (approx 175k) ,with the gun held horizontaly closed you can open the action and the barrels will sink gently to full open ,not drop like a hookers drawers and bounce halfway back . I agree moisture is a danger ,this product was designed with that in mind to be used on splines guides ways linkages ect ect ,trust me it works "I AM IN THE TRADE " . its been on my guns here since 99 no rust at all . Try it deadeye let me know what you think . Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baikiel boy Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi deadeye, The drylube mentioned by TLE is available in U.K. I can't remember manufacturers name but I have used it myself in the engineering trade before I retired . It's in a spray form (aerosel) . Hope this helps you out . regards bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 The debate re Browning vs Beretta rages on and this is a tad late in this thread, but my experience has been that on several shoots I have seen Browning owners with broken firing pins, seized safety catches and suchlike, which have made the gun unusable. I have never seen a Beretta owner caught out like this. I was thinking of a 525 sporter or a White Onyx recently, both seemed nice guns, but don't have the need any more.

bindi Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 it has to be which ever guns fits you best and whichever you are most comfortable with, and it sounds like the miroku for you. For me its always been the Beretta, but there was one I struggled to get comfortable with, all the rest have been perfect. Only you can decide, and as its the gun you (and only you) will be shooting, you shouldn't rely too heavily on others opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
