Well said Stan, about 7 years ago in a weak moment I traded off a Litt/UK spec Perazzi MX2000 32" sporting gun that took me from long standing AA to Master. That trade was for a high end double-gun and I got some cash to boot; and I've regretted that decision over recent years. Just a week ago I traded another gun toward a new Perazzi MX8 with SC2 wood, Game style forend, 32", fixed choked Mod (.018") and I-Mod (.027"), tram line rib and leaf spring trigger group w/barrel selector. Weight is 8-8 and I look forward to shooting her for the first time this weekend. Back to shooting clays with a "Ferrari".

Except for the SC wood that sounds like my 12 ga MX2000. They really are like driving a sports car Frank. But the MX28 with 30" tubes is like driving a Ferrari with a 25 yr old super model in the passengers seat. Just plain sexy.

Frank I also had a Litt MX-8 that I unfortunately sold about 15 years ago. I am now shooting a Perazzi MX-8 that I got at last year's Vintagers, it's has 31 1/2" barrels that weigh 1540 kg. with Teague chokes. Those Perazzi's are like driving a Ferrari. Frank good luck with your new Perazzi. On my wish list is a 29 1/2 MX28.

James, my MX 2000 has the Teague chokes in them. Are yours flush or extended? I'm very impressed with the Teague's and they are virtually invisible when installed. I'll have my MX 28 with 29 1/2'' barrels with me at the Southern, at Ernie's and Mike's shoot and you are welcome to shoot it.

Jim, I looked at your MX8 while at the Vintagers last fall and you did too, and we discussed it under the tent along with Ray. The seller gent wouldn't budge on price. Then when I went back to (probably) buy it, the P Gun was gone. Small world, our mutual friend Tom D called me this afternoon to chat and we talked about the VC and yours and how you got it there.

I was itching to shoot my MX8 and got out today to check POI "on the water". Right on, both barrels. Also shot just a few clays. But I was alone, it started raining and wind gusts heavy enough to blow the clicker off the stand, and I packed it in to drink java in the clubhouse. I might get out again tomorrow for her debut along with my shooting gang but that's if I can juggle some family things.

Daryl and Jim, I see a MX20 in 20g/30" in my crystal ball.

Daryl, mine are flush, they look and shoot great. I've had 2 other guns with flush Teague chokes, a MX8 and a Miroku. Looking forward to seeing your mx28 at Hausmann's.

"barrels that weigh 1540 kg." Wow! Nearly3400 #. No felt recoil I would assume

Would y'all stop that! I'm having visions of myself wielding one in a hot corner of a dove field.

What does yours weigh, Daryl?
