I have handled a number of A10 as well as recently shot skeet with a friends new toy that he just received. I am not a fan of the look of the torex screws used on the recoil shoulders in particular as the do look out of place for some reason. Perhaps if they were engraved and fitted into the engraving pattern in some artistic arrangement, it would look better. However, I can not argue with the functionality of the arrangement. I am also not a fan of the laser checkering or laser engraving and I think the engraving in particular looks out of place on a gun that at the lowest was about $4K. At that price point, I would like tasteful hand engraving.
On the other hand, the gun is very well made and handles well although a little "ponderous" like a K80. It tracks a target well and has very good triggers. The particular gun I shot had very nice wood, as most of the CSMC guns have. I shoot an SO4, which this looks similar to the A10, but the SO4 is much quicker (both good and bad for a target gun). I also recently got an F3 Blaser for sporting clays which is an excellent target gun but you either love or hate the design.
