That gun was apparently built for me.......but unfortunately I was not informed. Bad timing as I've spent the money on food, housing and other frivolous necessities.

You ever shot a 34" Perazzi, of any gauge or persuasion, at anything? Don't lie to keep from being the definition of stupid now.

Actually I have - several. Stupid is blind obedience to purposeless fad. O/U guns with 34" barrels are quite easily identified by that categorization. "Purposeless" is the operative term in the event that you didn't realize that.

I've shot a Perazzi 20ga. with 34" barrels I'd say it was the definition of perfection....anyone that claimed otherwise would have to be stupid.

Well, thank goodness the barrels are stacked over under. Nothing a few minutes with a hacksaw couldn't fix. A few weeks ago, side by side arranged barrels were purposeless.

How many of you have ever shot a 36" barreled O/U? I have, and it handled very nicely. It is a Valmet 412. My buddy has it. Going by memory, it has no side ribs, and only a quarter rib in the rear and a short ramp for the front bead. They were all choked full and full, and I assume were built for waterfowl.

No reason for me to think that Perazzi wouldn't handle well. Necessary for killing high doves? Nah. Cool ?........ yep, 10X.

34" might not seem so stupid, if you were Andre the Giant or some other huge specimen.
The collection of graying older gents, (er, mostly) who hang out here, can likely get by without them in a pinch.


Best,

A hoola hoop is a "purposeless fad" (gotta love that terminology). A set of 34" barrels on a clay target gun for small-gauge SC events from one of the world's best makers of o/u target shotguns, not so much. But you would have to be sane to know that. Or a graying older gent.

Purposeless. They fill no need besides SWIG! and even look stupid. Digweed must laugh his ass off every time he sees another poser with a long barreled gun.

"But you would have to be sane to know that. Or a graying older gent."

And not only sane but sentient and beyond graying

Are you a midget Wanker ?

The 34" Perazzi 20 ga. I shot handled like a magic wand....

Only a midget idiOt toting a tape measure would take note of anything irregular.

Seriously? I mean, really Wonk? Those 40 year naps must be nice. It's 2017, not 1958. Things have changed, for the better, in the shotgun world. Do you shoot?
