I have two 12's and one 16 gauge. One of the 12's is an ejector gun. Unlike skeettx, I find them to be very nice handling guns. I guess that is where how a gun fits you comes into play. I can break clays quite well with them. They are fairly well built, reliable guns. All parts were hand fit. Yes, they are on the plain side although you can get some with engraved locks. My ejector gun has a gold trigger guard and a bit fancier wood. Here in Canada, it is very hard to come across one in 16 gauge. A gold trigger guard, eh? That ought to really spruce things up. SRH No, what I'm saying is I have seen several of these Brno shotguns and this is the only one I have come across with the type of trigger guard it has. Don't know if it was a type of factory upgrade to go along with the wood because it has a bit fancier wood than what is normally seen. Anyhow, guess I shouldn't have mentioned it.

No, not at all, gunsaholic. I've never seen a gold trigger guard, honest!

May God bless America and those who defend her.

Thoughts on the Brno-made sidelock guns? The ZP series have chopper lump barrels, coil springs and a concealed third fastener. I have a 12 gauge with an English stock and extractors, which I think is decently well made, if not a bit plain. They don't appear to be as finely finished as some of the other European makers, but they do seem to have a lot going for them as far as function over form. Opinions? The ones from 50s were made with more attention to detail and as result of that were better quality. For example the cross section of stock wrist had oval shape, the checkering was better as well as metal to wood fit. The ones made in 70s the 80s were not as nice. They were discontinued because too much bench time was needed in their manufacture.

jager, this is true of the field grade east german made sauer brand guns, as well...the ones made in the fifties are of similar quality to the pre war guns...the later guns exhibit lesser quality fit and finish...
and, are there any sauer brand doubleguns currenting being produced in suhl?

Gunsalolic, I think you might have confused us. Does your gun have gold TRIGGERS or a gold triggerguard?...Geo

Mine is a 12 gauge, 70mm chambers, 28" barrels (or so...I didn't measure them) and just about on the nose of 7 lbs. I had the chokes opened to sk1/sk2. I forgot to mention it has rotating cocking indicators as well.
I've been meaning to take the hideous white spacer out from behind the butt plate, but I just have not got around to it.
