Actually Craig I was shooting Perazzis for serious sporting clays for a few years before I first met my friend Daryl at the 2008 Vintage Cup when it was at Pintail Point in MD. I’d moved up from Euro Browning 425’s to Krieghoffs in 12 and 20, and then to Perazzis. My last two P guns were both MX2000’s bought from Andrew Litt in the UK, a 12 and a 20 gauge, both 32”. Then I got more heavily involved in vintage SxS’s and the Perazzis were gathering dust in the safe over several years. In moments of weakness I traded them off against two high grade, high condition double-guns and got some cash back to boot. But afterwards I regretted letting those P guns go, and now that I’ve slashed my collection of vintage guns, I’ve put some of that scratch into two Perazzis. One is a brand new MX8 12 gauge/32” that I’d posted on the forum a month or so ago, and the second is this used MX20. They’ll be my main sporting clays guns for regular shooting with my gang who aren't SxS guys. But with all that said, Daryl did have an influence on me to get the MX20 in 20g rather than the larger MX8 frame with 20g/32” barrels as my MX2000 20-gauge from Litt was configured.
