Gentlemen,
I'm partial to Spanish guns, especially to Spanish sidelocks from the obscure and little known makers. OTOH I’m also big on value in a firearm and, purely IMnsHO, the Huglu shotguns are one of the best values on the market.
At this point in time my wife and I have 4 Huglu shotguns, a Model 201A (SxS BLNE) in 12 gauge with nicely engraved side plates, a Model 200 (SxS BLNE), in .410, engraved in pattern SGR10, a CZ imported ‘Bobwhite’ in 16 gauge (SxS BLNE), and my wife has a CZ imported ‘Redhead’ in 20 gauge. I have about 3,000 rounds through the .410, circa 2,500 through the 16 gauge, and about a flat through the 12 gauge. I have no idea how many rounds my wife has fired in her 20 gauge.
Neither of us has ever had a single problem with any of these guns, and we’ve had just a wonderful time busting clays with them. I’ve had that 16 gauge almost too hot to handle, and it just shot better and better.
For the money, they are hard to beat. There are folks who don’t like them, and run them down. And that’s all to the good. The more folks who bad mouth them, the less likely it is they will be ‘discovered’, and have their prices go through the roof – like the Spanish sidelocks.
Just my experience.
Best,
Kyrie
