My first double was an Ugartechea 30 stocked in English style. It has probably been over 10 years ago, now. It was nice to handle and pointed well, but it was choked F and Mod and was a lot too tight for the quail hunting that I do. After about the second season I started experiencing misfires. I took it to Simmons in K.C. and they tore it down and lubed it, but the misfires continued, so I traded it for a Beretta Urika. Now I'm using CZs Bob Whites and an old SKB SXS. As I remember, I paid about $420 for the Uggy. I was told these guns were a batch that the workers at the factory put together and sold as some kind of settlement in a labor action.

Pins no doubt were starting to deform. Odd thing was, in the reorganization, sometimes a hinghed trigger or chopperlump barrels were put on the 30s. When that happened, it was always a surprise upgrade at no additional cost. I have a 30/221 model imported by Act III with chopperlump barrels.

I currently have a Grade II Ugartechea, in 28 ga. It fits like it was made for me and I've had good shooting with it, from the first day. I liked it so much I bought a new Grade II in .410 to go with it. NEVER could shoot the .410 very well, although it shot straight, too.

I've had different shooting results with guns that have very similar measurements. These days, I'm hesitant to purchase a gun I can't see and/or shoot. Some just work better than others.
Best,
Ted
