It seems that many Spanish guns have had issues with pattern regulation. I've never owned one, but own two Turkish S x S guns and several "Italians". The patterns from all are regulated very closely, even though one in particular requires a certain off the shelf load to be so. One of the guns is a $489 gun. Mine was actually bought on sale at $439. It is the best regulated of all my S x S imported guns.
I don't get why a builder of a very nice gun cannot get something as basic as barrel regulation right. I understand that bad eggs slip through occasionally. But, when a man has owned 3 Spanish guns, and all three won't shoot wouldn't they're supposed to, something is sorely lacking. But, it's not just Spanish guns. It must be contagious, because one is apt to find a double with divergent patterns from nearly anywhere new guns are made, tho' I've never seen or heard of a Perazzi that wasn't right.
No secret, I'm a perfectionist about pattern regulation with shotguns. It's a deal breaker for me.
