Bore Gauge questions

[Double Lab]

Stan, it weighs 6lb1oz and like all Perazzi's is perfectly balanced. That's the MX28.
The MX20 weighs 7lb6oz. Both have 29 1/2" barrels.

A 31" Perazzi, six pounds, one ounce?? Is that a misprint, Daryl?

It's an MX28 on their baby frame. 28 gauge.

6lb 1oz Perazzi MX28 with 29 1/2" barrels sounds about perfect.

Frank somehow I missed this, and I've been crazy with all sorts of life stuff.

Here's a funny story. I went to Brea, CA to visit my daughter around late February who is training as a dancer. I had had my eye on a High Tech Lusso 33" barrels one owner listed at $15,000 with Wilkinson chokes at Pacific Sporting West. I kept telling Jordon "If my MX8 doesn't get here I'm going to have to buy something soon, I'm going nuts." While I visited her I made my way to West. I walked in to see the place (wow) and there was a sold tag on the High Tech. I said, "Just as well, I don't need to buy that when I have one on the way." He winked and said, "It isnt' sold, I knew you'd buy it if you picked it up." So he gave me a great deal, $12,000 out the door including shipping about 99% condition. Had it shipped, shot it once, and I got the call the MX8 arrived. So now I have TWO. I'm thinking of selling the High Tech Lusso, but for that price I may be dumb to do that. Adjustable comb to boot. I'm short so 33" seems a tad long but it sure swings perty.

I am interested in the 6 pound 1 ounce 29 1/2" Perazzi. Is there a dealer or a catalog that offers such a gun? I have become unable to handle my 9 pound long barrel small bore Berettas and need something else. The dealers and catalogs are a little light on six pound long barrel guns.

I bought my 12 and 28 ga Perazzis from a private dealer in PA. The 20ga came from a range owner in NC. Just got to put feelers out. If you are serious about a 28 I will keep my eyes open for one and call my friend in PA.

The early Ithaca-imported Perazzi Comp 1 32" barrel guns were poetry in motion; the only 32" barreled gun I was able to shoot comfortably, Their weight, balance and handling dynamics driven by the individually-tapered barrels were pure magic!

Thanks, Daryl. The 7/6 MX20 sounds perfect to me. Even though I shoot some very lightweight .410 doubles I really like a dove gun in the 7 - 7 1/2 lb. range.

Wheels are turning.
