Default Beauty in the eye of the beholder

My favourite shotgun of the show. This was one of those guns that just fit me like a glove and I shot 20 straight with it.

Mossberg introduced an interesting little side by side that definitely piqued my interest and I was shocked to see a Weatherby pump and auto shotgun at what can only be described as bargain prices. They are Turkish made but seemed solid with the limited time I handled them.

Why ducks and geese? Just because of the composite? No doubt it's durable.

Default Cynergy Eurosport

I have had one since June for Sporting Clays. Great gun and the fit and feel is great. It is barrel weighted, so the guys that like a stock weighted gun will not like it. The recoil pad is second to none. Love it.

Browning did have a promo that if you bought one before Dec.31, they sent you $100 CAD, a hat, hard take down case, soft case and a range bag. I got all mine. It was their Club Cynergy.

It is the 21st century and that is a 21st century shotgun. I like the looks of it. (I like nice wood on a gun too of course) But the lines and colors of it are nice to me.

looks 'spacey', but ok to me!!
Would you shotgunners say that this is a mid or highend peice of hardware?? judging by the price listed id have to say it aint entry level!!
im always amazed at the high price of shotguns when compared to rifles.
$2000 on a rifle is maybe 5% of the higher end of the gun counter, $2000 on a shotgun section starts closer to half ways and then its goes up from there.

i know...its really about prioirties.

quality and good value are seldom in the same sentence.

Mainly because I have an upland O/U but dont ever want to take out it in the wet duck blinds. With the Syn/SS I wouldnt be so worried.

Default not bad

I didn't like them when they first came out, but they are kind of starting to grow on me.

This, however, may be stretching things a little. http://www.browning.com/products/cat...13&type_id=289

I dunno I think its good to see gun compaines starting to make guns that will are attractive to the opposite sex. Besides Distract her with the pink gun in this hand and sneak one for you in the other hand.
