Staccato Ranch

This is the next shooting trip I think, going on a Staccato factory tour then shooting clays sounds amazing.

So Black Jack sporting clays is awesome for anyone who goes down there. About 1.25 hours from Disney, they had 3 regular courses and one Super Sporting course that I really enjoyed. The extra challenging targets were a blast and my browning earned its keep. I need to shoot some super sporting this year apparently.

If you want a real challenge, try internation bunker trap- At 71, knees went bad, thought I would give that a try --Light loads and super fast birds.

I have to admit when I was there last weekend, a used CG Summit had my attention. And yes, it was a beautiful gun. And, they are know for good customer service. Except they are only serviceable through CG certified shops.

Not a gun that I would ever use for hunting though. I just wouldn't want to get it scratched up that way


Edit- another option would be look at some of the exclusive Browning options from Guns Unlimited. If I were in the market for another O/U, I would be looking really hard at their Browning Universal High post. It can be had with adjustable comb, butt plat and rib along with either a traditional sporting style stock or parallel comb. For the money they are a great bargain.

CG is usually at IGC during the state shoot had mine rebuilt twice

How many rounds a year do you shoot? Mine has 40,000 rounds and just getting broke in, may be next year for its first pit stop.

I would have done a pit stop before that but it’s not my gun. Replacing the internal springs at regular intervals is important. I don’t want to find out when my gun will go down the hard way personally.

I get where you are coming from but I know of a couple guys that put about that many rounds through their guns in a year.

40 a year that's a boat load someone's got lots of extra money and time

I can't confirm actual round count, but I have been told some years they put 30k+ through the barrels. Personally, I can't even wrap my head around shooting that much in a year.

 

[Remington 90T]

My 40,000 rounds is what my C.G. has shot My question was having a gun pit stopped twice already. C.G. gives three free pit stops for a new gun and one free pitstop for a used gun. Then you're hooked because they do not sell parts. $170 to replace a $5.00 firing pin-$400 for a locking block? Wasting a pit stop can come around and bight you in the a##.

Finally had misfires in the bottom barrel after about 12K rounds. Used it as an opportunity to learn more about the gun and take it apart. Replaced hammer springs, both firing pins and bottom firing pin spring as well as cleaned and relubed the internals. This gun is like an automatic watch on the inside and very well put together IMHO, this makes me very excited to take apart the FILs DT-11 when he gets it to see what that level of gun looks like internally.

That looks all too familiar. Replaced firing pins and hammer springs on my old 525 last year. Will admit to having a devil of time getting the hammer springs into place

It took me an hour Those JP springs are strong! I am modifying a screwdriver to have a slot in it to hold down the pin next time, it was a nightmare trying to get the pin back into the retainer hole under about 20lbs of pressure. But I ran 250 rounds through the gun with zero issues at all yesterday so I must have done
The work correctly!
