Well Captain, I bought an Ugartechea upland gun. Straight stock, 16ga. of course, dt, 6.5 lbs, etc. I wanted an upland gun in near 100% condition, but my budget was under $1500, so I had to go the new Uggie route. Also, if I dropped it on a rock chukar hunting, I wouldn't have to worry about its resale value, rarity, etc. etc. It's actually a strikingly pretty gun.

It fits me fine, everything lines up the way it should with my eyes closed, etc. I do think, and the previous posts here seem to confirm this, that me missing some crossing shots has more to do with me than the gun. I don't shoot skeet that often, I shoot low gun because I'm a bird hunter, and my average score reflects that at between 16-20, so I shouldn't expect that buying a new gun would somehow miraculously make me break 25 straight. For some reason though, when a bird with feathers gets up in front of me, I don't tend to miss very often. Maybe if clay birds were the size of chukars or quail, my scores would go up a bunch

I think I'll just shoot it a while and see how it goes before I go to plan B.
