Well, I went to Target Shotguns in Hendersonville, NC yesterday, and had a long talk with Steve and Matt there about the pros and cons of each top brand of target shotgun. After looking at their extensive inventory, I found a Kolar that fit me wonderfully right out of the gate. After looking at the way Kolar guns are built, I bought one of their Max-Lite 32" guns with upgraded wood and high gloss blue finish. They call it their ' midnight special'. Strangely, the gun weighs 8lbs.15 ozs., but doesn't feel as heavy as the Invictus 34" they had at 8lbs.6ozs. Must be the heavier receiver on the Kolar. Anyway, thanks to all for their input on this topic. It has been very informative. Regards, Sandlapper

As a fellow Kolar owner I can say you chose well. Built like a tank, handles like a Corvette. Great trigger as well.

Great to hear, Sandlapper. I am confident you will be well pleased with the Max Lite Sporting. Holler if you want to meet up at some point in the near future.

Jaquas found the gun I wanted at another dealer. Had it shipped to them. Then sent it to Guerini as I wanted a different forend, double triggers, and auto safety. Whole process only took about 2 weeks. And they treated me fairly on price. Good folks.

I saw a double trigger, straight grip model Friday at Bald mt.
Beautifully done.
Out there doing it best I can.

I'll be glad when the company realizes it doesn't, and never did, need the "Caesar" in their brand name. Just call them "Guerini", the same way Beretta, Browning, Perazzi, Zoli, Blaser, Rizzini, Krieghoff, Kolar, and every other maker does. It's a made-up name to begin with. Never was anyone by the name of Caesar Guerini.

I used an entry-level Guerini for Skeet at a demo day this afternoon, which made me curious to know what this hive mind thought of the marque. And I searched the forum, found this thread, and this post: Well, I went to Target Shotguns in Hendersonville, NC yesterday TARGET SHOTGUNS, INC
FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE REREAD How I imagine them, anyway. That's a shop I'd like to visit, one day.
