Description:
This is a very nice caesar GuerininEssex crossover game/Clays gun.
The British Gun writer Mike Yardly describes his personal Essex below:
Visually, this now discontinued model is most attractive; the understated scroll suits my traditional taste. There was an option of chemical colour-case hardening too; mine has a coin-finished action. Guerini still offer the mechanically similar game scene engraved Magnus, Magnus Deluxe and Maxum models, the last two offering a solid rib and similar pistol grip stock.
I enthuse about this gun to all and sundry because it handles and shoots so well. I often say to people now that, as far as game shooting is concerned, a 30″ 20-bore is always right! Other marques offer great 20-bores too. The thing about a modern machine-made 30″ 20-bore is that it offers handling dynamics similar to those of a Best London side-by-side game gun of yore at a fraction of the price, and, arguably, even better shooting qualities. I am not over-egging the pudding if I say that I know of no other over-and-under 20-bore that shoots better regardless of price.
I won’t mince my words. I love this little gun. I shoot most of my clays and almost all my game with it. It’s a pleasure to shoot (and carry) at 6lb 10oz. Light enough to be fast handling, heavy enough not to be wild. I seem to shoot it as well as my 12s even at tough clays. I don’t feel in any way under-gunned. The gun controls recoil beautifully. I’ve put thousands of 24g and 21g loads through it (and, an ounce and heavier for game – my current favourite field load being 28g of 5 shot)
This gun comes with 30 inch barrels and 2 internal chokes that look like they are skeet and skeet. You can still purchase the Selecta variant choke tubes from Caesar Guerini for $42.00 if you are looking to reach out for birds and clays that are out a ways. The barrels are well blue and show no wear, the action is tight and the ejectors are strong and well timed. The wood is in great shape showing very little wear.
If your looking for a great 20 gauge for clays or game at a fraction of the price of new this may be the gun for you.
