The safety and barrel selector are tang-mounted, and if you can find one with 26-inch barrels, I highly recommend it, particularly if you will be shooting from a duck blind. I will say the recoil from 3-inch duck loads was less than enjoyable, but I mostly used it for pheasant forays and the odd round of skeet. The Grade 1 never let me down, and although the 12-gauge was a pretty hefty field gun, I’m a pretty hefty guy, so I never minded that much. But if you’re really into that kind of thing, you can have it done after you buy the gun. It’s basic in that there’s little or no scroll work on the sideplates, and not much checkering on the stock or fore-end. The Grade 1 was the first Citori I ever owned. Most think these O/Us are spendy, but this one can be had for under $1,000 if you look hard enough. How does the most famous production over/under since the Browning Superposed make this list you ask? Well, even though Citoris are well-known, I don’t think this particular model is. Browning Citori Hunter Grade 1 Buy a Citori and you’ll likely never let it go. You may not find it bothersome, but if you’re used to a tang-mounted selector, it takes some getting used to.Ģ. The 12-gauge has a crisp 4-pound trigger, but the one thing I am not a big fan of is the barrel selector is forward of the trigger. It’s an amazingly balanced O/U that has a weight system integrated into the stock that you can adjust for a custom fit. The way you can remedy that is by buying the 2¼-inch drop buttstock, otherwise you will need to see quite a bit of open space below the target to be accurate with the F16. That’s just fine if you are a competitive clays shooter, but it’s not so great for bird hunters.
A co-worker patterned the F16 at the range and found that it shot a foot high at 25 yards. But from low gun, I recall falling off a bit, which is to be expected, but also because the gun shot high. I shot this gun on skeet and trap several years ago when it first debuted, and although the recoil was a little on the heavy side for a 7.5-pound gun, it shot amazingly well from the high-gun position. It’s a meticulously well-constructed firearm, something the Germans are well-known for. If you don’t want to spend $4,000 on a shotgun, I get it, but the German-made Blaser F16 is worth every penny. Blaser F16 The Germans built a stout over/under in the Blaser F16. So, if you are looking for a dependable field or clays gun that won’t drain your bank account-with the exception of the German-made Blaser F16-these are some of the best options. And though it’s difficult not to spend at least $1,000 in order to get a decent O/U these days, there are a few exceptions. Strangely, most were never highly sought after or have faded into obscurity. And there are still several bespoke shotgunmakers that sell custom doubles for more than most of us will make in a year hell, 10 years.īut there are also quality O/Us that are far less expensive. Beretta, Browning, Krieghoff, Caesar Guerini…the list of fine production gun manufacturers goes on. Good ones typically cost thousands of dollars because they are built to last for generations, functioning without fail even after tens of thousands of shotshell rounds have been fired through them. 2 miles to your destination on the right.Over/unders have almost completely taken over the double gun market.
