Caesar Guerini vs Beretta

Help Support :
My wife switched from a Beretta to a CG Syren as soon as they came out.
Completely agree on fit etc - but to say, much better range of chokes, nicer wood and engraving on the CG.
And we've had none of the ejector problems which plagued her Beretta.
Give one a go!

So I went and looked. Without question CG are well finished and well speced guns. In my novice opinion they look to be better value. A 692 for £2750 or a Summit at £2250. However, I didn't get the chance to test one so no deal was struck. Excited to get out and shoot again as it'd been a few weeks I went along to a local club and shot some skeet. Straight in no warm up 24ex25. Hmm think the old Beretta deserves a second chance.

I am a CG fan, but my take on your two choices is that you are not comparing like for like.....the Summit Ascent Sporter is the one to compare next to a 692......

My basic understanding is that the Ascent suffix just denotes it has an adjustable comb. Neither the 692 nor the Summit I looked at had adjustable combs and therefore I, perhaps wrongly, assumed I was comparing eggs with eggs. I have to say regardless of adjustable comb the summit looked a better finished and prettier gun when compared to the 692.

It certainly is a pretty gun Meerkat....the Ascent Sporter has a higher rib, which is also tapered (not sure if the normal Summit has that) and also has the Monte Carlo stock.....making it a very well focused clay busting machine....with the Ascent and 692 you are starting to break in to entry level competition guns....choices choices!

The summit ascent is a fixed mid hight rib, the adjustable ones are called impact and are high rib

I shoot a Maxum 32 sporter, love it!
The CG stand was at oak edge on sat, I witnessed a plethora of none CG shooters putting cartridges through guns that they will be buying soon.
The tide has turned, solid guns with style and a realistic price tag to boot, game over!

And.......... the customer (after sales) service from CG is amongst the best I have ever witnessed.
Pretty sure the original McLaren F1 has a V12 Beemer in it, Zonda use Merc, come to think of it Astons have a couple of Fords welded together haven't they ?

But they actually own the company that makes the barrels so technically the same company just a different name.

I'd have a Syren if the carving on the stock and the action weren't so vile. Why do they think a 'womans gun' has to look different? Same gun with a plain action and no prison tattoo on the stock would sell better.

I see your point Bebo. But at least they have women's dedicated guns/brand.
Unlike all other manufacturers.
Im sure they will bring out more models/engravings in the future though.

I'm going to guess that if you spoke to Mike at Anglo, there's a very good change they'd make you one without the prison tat. Certainly no harm in asking.

Your dream has been answered. My 2 year old 32" Challenger Sporter is yours for £10,001 :lol:
