Had I written it, I would have advised purchase of ALL the guns considered, not just the narrowing down to one. Roland wrote that piece on the “Seven Steps to Shotgun Heaven”. chopper-lump, etc, etc, etc… Is there any truth to any of it? Are there any technical, factual reasons to choose a K-80, from a Perazzi, from a Browning B-25, from any other?īecause I plan to buy new and get the gun fitted, I’ve been looking for any concrete reasons to choose one of the three guns over another, but I’m so thoroughly confused by the marketing hype about fundamental design, trigger design, construction, quality, monobloc vs.
I know you’ve said (many times) that a gun is a personal thing, but I’m wondering if you can separate all of the marketing propaganda from the facts. I understand that gun fit and “feel” are very important and personal, but because I’m a closet technoid, given enough money and time I can have a gun fitted, and modified to feel very different. I’ve looked at all of the high-end over and under shotguns, read all the advice, and am still unsure.
I’ve followed your advice to the “7 steps to shotgun heaven” and am now in a quandary.
