Chops, I have both a CZ Ringneck and S&W Gold Elite. Both will knock down as many birds as you can hit. The S&W has nicer wood and a bone case color whereas my CZ has plain wood and a cyanide finish. The CZ has a better wood to metal fit than my S&W. The S & W has fixed chokes and has more of an elegant feel, but either one will do you just fine. Since Cabela's has the S&W on sale for 1300 I would get that one.-IM
