I wanted an American made cased pair for driven game.
CSMC is the only company that can do that.
It was $2000 to laser engrave the numbers one and two, and provide an off-the-shelf twin case.
Once that was known, there were better choices in the market.
In hindsight, I would not have enjoyed shooting one in any volume with performance 20 gauge loads, their lightweight would have been a handicap. And that was the purpose of the pair.
I believe if you keep exploring, you will find they arrive with the same initial quality and customer service as all recent CSMC shotguns have.
