Has the action gotten loose and sloppy like I have found too often on used guerinis in the past ?? Not knocking them but just something I’ve noticed with the 4 I’ve owned in the past. Another thing that’s extremely disappointing is that Guerini refuses to send parts to end users. Pretty ridiculous actually
I own a Ceasar Guerini limited and L4S Fabarm. And I live close to the Company in Maryland. The company is Great and the Employees aew fantastic. The guns run great as well.
I love my Summit Ascent with factory release triggers ! The patterns are great out of the L. Mod. chokes ! I just change shells at different distances. Thanks for sharing . . .
Just got a Summit Sporting 3 weeks ago. Mines the non-adjust in the black receiver. The fit of this gun is absolutely perfect so I didn't need the adjustable comb. Plus, there is a pretty significant weight reduction in the back of the gun.
I have had my Summit for 3 years and it has performed flawlessly. It is a tank! I would send it in for a Pit Stop but I have properly greased it from day one and it is smooth as butter. I must be an average guy because the gun fit was superb right out of the case! I shoot mostly skeet with twin skeet chokes and the pattern is very uniformed. I estimate about 20k rounds and I see no end in sight for this gun. I would say I would buy another, but I don’t have to! LOL!
I can appreciate the comments on price but remember, this is a dedicated clays gun. If you want a nice O/U for a little clays and hunting get a 686 or a Fabarm. Shooting over a 1,000 rounds a month is very common for NSSA/NSCA shooters. Not something a $2k gun can handle for very long.
I duck hunt with a Fabarm XLR5 Waterfowler and got hooked on sporting clays. Really wanted to get a Guerini over under because I love the Fabarm so much BUT... Not being able to buy parts was a deal breaker. Don't want to have to ship a gun across the country from Santa Cruz CA for things I can fix myself. Ended up with a 725 Sporting and love it. Maybe a Guerini for my next over under if they change that policy. Would love to see the XLR5 Waterfowler stacked against other high end duck guns in a video!
I was talking with a couple of guys that i shoot with, they said that they did not buy a CG due to how hard it kicks compared to other guns. Do you CG owners agree that it kicks harder than a Zoli or a other compatible gun maker.
Certainly not an entry-level gun, but on the lower end of high-end guns. Perhaps a better buy is the Beretta SP1, at about half the price. Not hating, I have both of these guns, and enjoy them both. I do prefer my CG, at least partly because my SP1 is a field model, so not the best for sporting clays (lower comb, 28" barrels etc). It still does fine. If I had to do it over, I would have gotten the SP1 sporting model with 30" barrels. No regrets at all with my CG Summit sport with the fixed comb and 30" barrels.
So I am built like you- long neck, thin face. So if you raise the comb, won't you change your pattern to be higher? And yes to Falcon Strike, I have them on two guns. Nothing like it on the market and a fraction of the cost of other recoil reduction items.
Hi Steve I have a question for Travis I am interested in getting a summit trap gun I would prefer a top barrel gun and I noticed that on the website they only offer it in a 34 inch barrel my preference would be a 30 inch barrel but I am willing to go to a 32 inch barrel what I want to know is that possible?
Thanks for watching and for reaching out! Summit Trap models come with 32" O/U and 34" Unsingle barrels as standard configuration. However, CG does make a 32" Unsingle that goes on the Summit Trap Compact model. So a Custom Order is doable to get the 32" Unsingle, yes.
@@travismearsas you shoot professionally and sponsored by CG. Wondering your thoughts on the Invictus line compared to the other brands in the higher premium range. I've owned a Blaser F3 in the past and currently own a Beretta DT11 Black non carbon with b-fast adjustable comb 32" and Krieghoff K80 Vienna scroll flat rib 32" multiple barrel set 12ga, 20ga, 28ga and a unsingle trap barrel specialty designed for a #3 sporting stock. I have a close friend pondering getting the Invictus but with the price being similar to Krieghoff, Perazzi, Blaser and Beretta DT11 I really don't know what to say.
@@ToddA.Turcottethanks for reaching out. The Invictus is in line with its other premium competitors. Incredibly reliable and beautiful, but most importantly backed by the best company and customer service in the industry. You might also notice, that for the dollar spent the Invictus will be a prettier option. Engraving and wood offered at a similar price as the base models of the other brands. I have been shooting and abusing mine for 6 years and I couldn’t be happier.
@@ToddA.Turcotte another thing not to overlook. The annual service is a perk of ownership. Servicing some other premium brands can cost north of $500 every time.
Enjoyed the beauties on their website. A well fitting workhorse with gorgeous wood would be my down fall. The intricate engraving work I’d rather not have to pay for. Nice to learn of their stellar service. Very refreshing nowadays. 👍🏻
I kinda feel lilke I'm watching a 'serious' review comparison of various Aston Martin automobiles vs various Bentley/Rolls models. Ah me, the trials of the wealthy -lol. But as always, many things do NOT cost too much, I simply will never be able to afford them.
Well, I would have said the same thing 20 years ago when I was raising 4 kids on a government salary, but now that the kids are long gone and I'm retired, I'm surprised by what I can afford! It's all about priorities.
Anybody use remington 870s with 30 inch barrel, or pointer acrius, cz woodcock, or teal, or any other affordable shotguns for most of us, that have bust 24,25 clay pigeons in trap? If I won the lottery or had sponsors etc., this would be cool, but I think for about 98% of us watching this, will never afford one of these.
$5,000 is not a gun that most people can afford. They are nice guns, but presenting it as affordable is a bit of a misnomer. And there is nothing wrong with a $1200 gun.
I'd say that's a matter of perspective and priorities. I'd say most people could afford it, but they'd have to work a lot of OT or side hustle their but off for 6 months to a year. For anything close in reliability for $1,200 you'd probably be looking at a well used Browning Citori or a Beretta 686. It'll definitely bust clays and about any gunsmith should be able to work on it, but it won't have the fit and finish of this CG. If you get a $1,200 gun that has the fit and finish, it's not going to have the internals to hold up to the same amount of rounds and usually they don't have the same amount of support after purchase. Overall $5k is rite about the starting point (even with the B guns) for a nicer looking clays gun that you can shoot the snot out of and hand down to the next couple generations to do the same with.
I know so many people that say things like this, but then they own 3-4 Glocks, 3-4 AR’s, 2-3 semi automatic mass produced waterfowl shotguns, a duck boat, and a motorcycle. It’s priorities. It’s one vacation to Europe. It’s the price of a four wheeler you don’t use anyway. If you’re actually going to be competitive, it’s quickly ecclipsed with ammunition and entry costs.
I've had my CG summit since 2012 and shot it 2 to 3 times a week . I've never had a problem with it. The PIT STOP program is awesome

I finally got a straight 25 in trap this last Sunday. I love mine
Great engagement between two knowledgeable shooters. Thank you.

And I live close to the Company in Maryland.
The company is Great and the Employees aew fantastic.
The guns run great as well.
Glad to see this video, workhorse definitely describes my summit. 17,000 rounds through it since last July and its run flawlessly
Love to see the Fabarm xlr5 velocity vs the beretta multi target
100% agree with CGs customer service. I had two CGs that needed some attention and they promptly took care of them.
I love my Summit Ascent with factory release triggers !
The patterns are great out of the L. Mod. chokes ! I just change shells at different distances.
Thanks for sharing . . .
Love the Guerini and Fabarm shotguns. Once again, great video. Thank you
I have a summit .410 and love it only second to my invictus 3 ltd ascent.
Just got a Summit Sporting 3 weeks ago. Mines the non-adjust in the black receiver. The fit of this gun is absolutely perfect so I didn't need the adjustable comb. Plus, there is a pretty significant weight reduction in the back of the gun.
How does it compare to the Rizzini that you review?
I have the summit ascent I have fired 15000 rounds through it and it's never even needed a pit stop has performed flawlessly.
Love CG, they actually take care of their customers!
Great show. Strong advice and an impressive gun.

I have a Cesar Gerini, summit impact high rib that I just love it’s a great gun best shotgun I’ve ever owned.

Can you do a video on tips for people in wheelchairs like me who can't use their lower body?
Have u ever reviewed a g force budget over and under 12 cause I could never afford this gun beautiful, but could not afford
You should review the CZ All American Trap combo. As an affordable trap combo.
I bought one yesterday
Was looking to upgrade to this gun or a beretta 694.
I’ve read horror stories on the 690 actions plus cg has a lifetime warranty
I was talking with a couple of guys that i shoot with, they said that they did not buy a CG due to how hard it kicks compared to other guns. Do you CG owners agree that it kicks harder than a Zoli or a other compatible gun maker.
Can you PLEASE review the ATA Arms CY Single Piston 12 Gauge/28 Max 7 Semiautomatic Shotgun PLEASE!!!
What hearing protection are you both using
Are you interested in reviewing GOWUTAR A20 RMR red dot sight?
How different were the two trigger pulls?
Does anyone have the cg temper sporting?
What Ceasar Guerini model do you recommend for a hunting gun? What barrel length? Thanks!
Tempio or Woodlander

Can you do some more high rib trap gun reviews
very, very, popular gun out at Defender

It’s a nice gun
I thought Travis shot fabarm
He does! Fabarm is made by Caesar Guerini
Enjoyed the beauties on their website. A well fitting workhorse with gorgeous wood would be my down fall. The intricate engraving work I’d rather not have to pay for.
Nice to learn of their stellar service. Very refreshing nowadays. 👍🏻
Blaa, they charge more for left-handed shooters. Excellent review anyways! ❤❤
Unfortunately that's with almost every brand. Was charged $750 for a left handed stock from Zoli
@@aidanclayton4048 good looking out! I just started looking in this price range, have never experienced left-handed premiums before.
It's the right-handers who should be charged more! Hahahahah, how do people even shoot like that? 😂
Thats the reality of life. I had to pay -only- 100 euros more for a left handed stock for my Verney Carron though
It sucks being wrong handed.
Mears could shoot great, like all pros, with a sub $1000 gun. I don't think a gun at almost $5k is "affordable" for most.

Adjustable comb, yet you didn't take advantage of it.
$5,000 is not a gun that most people can afford. They are nice guns, but presenting it as affordable is a bit of a misnomer. And there is nothing wrong with a $1200 gun.
5000 are entry level guns for competitive shooting. High end models are closer to 15k. A $1200 gun would be worn out in a years time. Cry once
I'd say that's a matter of perspective and priorities. I'd say most people could afford it, but they'd have to work a lot of OT or side hustle their but off for 6 months to a year.

For a target gun it’s very affordable.
For a CG that’s not bad especially for a higher end gun. I know people who shoot with $20k blasers, $70k Kreighoffs, $50k kolars etc.
I know so many people that say things like this, but then they own 3-4 Glocks, 3-4 AR’s, 2-3 semi automatic mass produced waterfowl shotguns, a duck boat, and a motorcycle.

10 to 15 days for repairs, LOL, try 6 weeks
Are they making it out of diamonds and gold..... Jesus christ?!?!

You lost me at $4795
