Hello everyone! This is Bob from the Boise, Idaho area. Lurked here for a couple of months, but joined up recently.
I am an avid upland hunter with my field bred pointing lab.
Love my 16 side by side CZ! Thinking of getting one of their o/u also. Can't afford the tariff for a real high end gun being retired and a little cautious with funds.
Love the 16 ga bore as I also hunt with 12 ga.
Love the stuff here!
Thanks |

Welcome Bob.
Don't know what you consider high end for a O/U or what your budget is. I can tell you that if you can find a nice pre-owned Citori you won't be disappointed or ever lose your money on that gun. I am a little prejudiced in this area.
Good luck !!!!! |

| Bob from Boise, welcome to the forum. I've got friends and relatives all over that area, you're lucky to live in such a great place. Every fall I go bird hunting on a buddy's ranch east of Weiser. I just hope it is feasible to make that trip this year. |

I have a Citori 12 ga and it has served me well over the years. It is okay to be prejudice about Citori's! |
