It's opening day of dove season and I am ready. The latest shiny object. A CZ 20 gauge side by side, classic English style bird gun. Double triggers, extractors, manual safety, case colour sideplates...How classy is that? All I need to channel my inner POM are tweed plus fours and a deerstalker cap! It ain't Audley Street, but the Turks do a commendable job of building a gun us mere peasants can afford.
Take 'er out and warm 'er up for us. Let us know...
Beautiful. Classic lines, fine engraving and stock work.
No self respecting Scotsman would be found in anything other than a Harris Tweed. 100% virgin hand woven wool, handmade in Scotland. They're the only clothier I know that actually puts serial numbers on their coats. I have one approaching 30 years old and I get nothing but compliments about it.Quote:

An aside: I grew up with 16 ga shotguns for upland game, including a side-by-side but not nearly as nice as this one. But it seems the 16 gauge is history nowadays? I never see the shells on shelves anymore. Just curious.
16 shotguns are still being made. For shells, Ammoseek lists #2 - #8 shot and some are making different style /weight slugs.Quote:

Rare for our small local shops to carry a decent selection if any at all. For a shotgun I grew up shooting a 28 gauge
Yes, CZ shotguns are made in Turkey.Quote:
