I was at a full service Gun Dealer on Saturday and he handles every shotgun made by them as well as your Benelli,Beretta,Browning,Merkel,Rizzini etc. jsut about every shotgun made under the son and rifles as well. These CZ shotguns are a wonderful bargain. If your in the market for a extremely good o/u or SxS this is the way to go and pretty muchall can be bought for less then 1000. Of course if you stroll over and pickup Berettas,Brownings and other guns that start at double the cost of a CZ there is no comparison but not that big of a difference in where it counts..weight, ruggedness,balance and pointability they are the same. You just get better wood(in most cases) with the expensive stuff. Next gun to be bought will be the Woodcock in 28 gauge after my wife forgets about the last 3 months of my gun purchases.
