I'd posted earlier that a friend and I recently joined a Trap and Skeet Club about 30 min. away on MCAS Cherry Point in Havelock, NC.
A lot of paperwork to get access to the base and guns formally 'permitted'.
Seems like a great group of guys and can't beat the dues/fees...$40/yr. and $3 a round.
I've been shooting my 12 ga. Citori and my 20 ga. Superposed. I like 'field guns' and have never been enamored of the purpose-built 'game-playing' guns with the Kick-Eez and adjustable combs, etc.
There's some daggone expensive guns placed in the rack there - mostly retired military guys who evidently did quite well if their guns are any indicator. Blaser, Krieghoff, Perazzi, etc.
Anyway - not being nearly as flush and wanting a .410 to shoot skeet and pen raised quail with, I ended up having an LGS order me a CZ Drake in .410.
Reviews mostly good.
It will impress no one and is plain as a shoe.
28" is all that's offered and fixed chokes in IC/Mod, which is fine for me.
Have not shot it yet, but points well and seems to fit me.
I've owned a CZ Bobwhite (SxS) in 28 for several years and have gotten great service out of it.
I knew they were all made by the Turkish firm 'Huglu' and only recently learned the 'g' is silent in that name.
Searching around, I found that 2.5" skeet loads are considered a good deal at ~$90 a case (~$9/box), approximately TWICE what promo 12 and 20 go for.
So - I may be adding another Mec loader to the herd - already have Mec presses (600 Jr) in 12, 20 and 28.
Just checking if any of the crowd here has had any experience with a CZ Drake. good or bad.
Thanks ya'll
CZ Drake - any input?
