Superbird
 
After a very long wait and a lot of fighting, a guy at the club brought his new Superbird yesterday. For what he paid I can only say "meh..." I have never been a fan of round body guns and this didn't change my mind. With 30" barrels, SST, BTFE and screw in chokes for that money (or less) ...I'd rather have a 12g VHE with double triggers and BTFE (hell, I'd settle for that raffle gun!!). We were all expecting something magical but it just didn't appear to be. It struck me as a "tool" not a work of gun making art. That's just my opinion and maybe because I'm partial to older things. He seems to like it but thinks it was too much hassle and will never do business with them again, having waited a year and only being given two choke tubes. Just an FYI as I haven't seen much feedback on this gun.

I know everyone's likes are different, but if I'm going to order a CSMC gun for $6500, I'm going to want it with two triggers. That said, for $6500 I could find a really nice Parker that'll do what I need it to do.

CSMC's answer for a target SxS https://connecticutshotgun.co/csmc-superbird/.

It could also be a classic Dodge stock car.

Daryl, It’s the Galazan dedicated side by side clays gun. Mike he was north of $6500 I believe with long LOP, drops and wood choice. It has that super glossy Citori look which I don’t personally care for but it’s durable I guess.

What the heck are "2 3/4" and 3" vent ribs"???


Edit: Oh wait, did Louie leave out the word chambers and the comma after it?

These are "work guns". A friend bought one specially to shoot in the S/S International Trap Competition this Sept. The quick second shot is important, therefor the single trigger.

Ejectors were important enough to list twice, and that pistol grip just does not belong on a side by side :).

Personally, I don’t find single triggers quicker than double triggers. I’ve fired hundreds of thousands of shells combined out of single and double trigger guns and have never felt handicapped using double triggers on a quick true pair.
