Apprentice Gunsmith....you dark horse youThat Dacia/Rolls Royce comparison is a little askew, if you ask me. You have to leave a lot more room at the bottom for the Yildiz and Armsan offerings etc., you have to allow that the very cheapest Beretta is a very different thing from a DT11, and you have to think hard about the Rolls Royce comparison - after all we're talking about performance rather than luxury. Maybe the Rolls Royce thing works for a , say Purdey SxS game gun, but surely not an MX8
I flirted with the idea of a Dacia Duster 4x4 a few months ago, it represented massive value for money. But it wasn't something that I wanted to own.
I have flirted with the idea of an MX8, too, or one of its brothers. In the end I decided it wasn't what I wanted.
Oh, yes, the grease thing. My father taught me that oil, not grease, was the answer. My shooting instructor did, too. So did my boss when I started as an apprentice gunsmith all those years ago, and I accepted that advice because as a young man you took advice from your elders in those days. When I bought my Blaser F3 I actually read the owners' manual, and it told me to use the pot of grease they had supplied. So that's what i do, 'coz their opinion has to count for something.
Well i am glad that my Perazzi cost 3.5k then,so what are the other issues?I won't go into details on the forum. But I will mention ribs and plating, neither of which is hearsay.
It's not that I have anything against Perazzi and I'm not suggesting they're troublesome, I just happen to largely agree with the comment that they're £3.5K guns costing £8.5K+. But then, like Hamster, I have little to do with the world of trap and it could well be that Perazzis are still dominant in that domain, however it seems clear to me that in percentage terms they're losing ground all the time in registered sporting.
There are 83 new Perazzis for sale on GT and 142 used, quite obviously not one of them is a custom gun.Seen as Perazzis are all effectively a custom gun how do you compare it with a mass produced one?
What makes you say/ think this ?There are 83 new Perazzis for sale on GT and 142 used, quite obviously not one of them is a custom gun.
So you can choose Length,Bore size,Rib width,Rib height,Choking Fixed 0-10 or Multichoke,Spring type,Removable trigger or not,Stock dimensions as requested or go to the factory and have one custom made,type of forend and probably a few others including colouring.Trip to the factory seeming to be quite popular.There are 83 new Perazzis for sale on GT and 142 used, quite obviously not one of them is a custom gun.
I fully understand that certain products in any walk of life can have a particular mystique which generates something close to obsession and often causes people to pay over the odds to have one. My only point about Perazzis is that when you look closely it's hard to see where all the money went.
This is most definately a case of opinions and arseholes.Also as mister "T" would say " I pity the fool" who bought a DT11
Love the Lanber reference, very true.Forgive me if I'm wrong, but you sound fairly new to the sport. Whilst the MX8 is a fine gun it's not perfect. Blasers don't thump any more than any other gun of the same type because there's all sorts of factors that determine felt recoil.
Whatever brand you choose, if you've found a gun you like put plenty of shells through it first to make absolutely sure it suits. Ideally have your coach or someone that knows what they're looking at watch you shoot it. Remember too that, unless you're very lucky, you'll have to factor in the cost of a custom stock.
Whatever you do, be objective. Don't get hung up on a particular brand. A £500 Lanber that fits and shoots where you're looking is better than a £5000 Perazzi that doesn't.
Are you paid a lot of money by Lamber?Love the Lanber reference, very true.
DT11 must be one of the most altered and re-developed guns ever made. The very first ones had unpopular stock designs and are so much heavier and less well balanced than the latest models, albeit the new ones are expensive and have to have things like carbon ribs to make up for the initial barrel weight. So I wonder if to get the best one you’re buying the early gun, with the cost of fixes added on. Seems a mash up, albeit perhaps with a nice gun at the end of it.This is most definately a case of opinions and arseholes.
That's not right, if you shoot skeet most Olympic shooter use 29", I have Mx2000 in 29",for many it's a problem to handle the 30 inch 76cm, if your not a pro, but in America you are allowed to have the stock up not by the side like in Europe, maybee, that's a difference, some things are easy sellable in Europe but not in the US, thank you for a great app, kindest regards Claus NielsenAn MX8 is perfect if it's not tired? Don't buy a 29" as they don't resale very well! MXS is a low entry level Perazzi overpriced
With poor resale value!
