Guest Squirrelbuster Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I am interested in getting the Verona SX405 Ultra-Light semi-auto shotgun and I was wondering what everyone thought about this gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Verona shotguns????? Just another Turkish made semi auto. I would put it about equal to the Charles Daly. Do you expect a $350 (MSRP) to be a top quality gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, no I don't expect it to be TOP quality, that is why I am looking at it, because I can't afford TOP quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Gander Mountain they have this gun for $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Verona shotguns????? [ QUOTE ] AJ, I thought you had a Charles Daly [/ QUOTE ] I do have a CD but, and its a BIG but, its an o/u. Charles Daly does not make guns. They import them from various different manufacturers and slap their name on them. Their auto guns are made in Turkey. Their o/u and sxs guns are made in Italy. You can see who makes which of their guns on their web site. The older Charles Daly o/u was made by Miroku in Japan. Miroku now sells their guns to Browning and they are called the Citori. So there is a difference between the guns. Kind of like Remington, they haev not had a good o/u in 20 + years. They still have other guns that are good, just not the o/u. Squirrelbuster, If you have to have a shotgun how about a decent pump? You can get a Mossberg or Remington Express 870 for the $200-$250 range. They will last you a lifetime with the proper care. The auto is a functional gun. How long it will last, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I thought about that too, and I have shot the Moss. 500 and I have researched the Rem. 870, but I saw this gun and figured I would check it out being it was a semi-auto. Most likely I will be getting a Moss. 500 because I can get it in full camo for $220 at Wal-Mart, but I was curious about the Verona.

Guest 2500HD Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Re: Verona shotguns????? Save up a few more $$$ and buy a Winchester SX2. You can pick up a black synthetic for $600-$700 and you won't have to worry about performance. If you skimp to save a few $$$ you are almost gauranteed to pay more in the long run with a cheaper gun that is always in the shop. Also consider the value of the gun. A cheaper gun has less appeal if you decide to sell or trade it. IMO if you can't afford a better quality semi then I would just get a nice pump gun instead of the cheaper semi.

Guest goose21 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Re: Verona shotguns????? I think they are the cheapest guns made. i looked at an automatic and when i pressed the button to close the breech it didnt shut all the way everytime and i had to finish pushing it closed. every verona i looked at did that. i agree save up and buy an SX2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Squirrelbuster Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Re: Verona shotguns????? I went and checked out the Verona today and decided against getting it. When I was trying out the action it was stiff. I could easily get it to lock back, but it was giving me trouble to get back into place. So I guess I am probably going to get a Mossberg 500 when I decide to get the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robk Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Verona shotguns????? i owned one and it was nice gun but i went backto a pump because of the way i have always shot and i am more comfortable with a pump/ the gun is very accurate and well worth the money spent clean gun with good lines and shoots well rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
