Wilgus is back to his K gun? He got a nice new F3 and has been shooting it. Thought it was even a "sponsor" type thing. I've only seen him with his 391 during bad weather.

I am with you Jeff I think Wilgus was a Blaser and we shot with Bolton if he was shooting a Browning it must be a n a new model for them because it had Beretta written all over it

Phillips will be a K Gun also

No Remington SPR 310s (the fancy model)?

Hope someday my name is up there with a browning 525.
Of course by then, I would want the golden clays version :mrgreen:

I'm registering in the newyear and gonna shoot as far as the wallet stretches. I hear it has to stretch alot.

Mike may have gone to Blaser, being in the Northwest I hadn't seen him, but thought he was K-80ing at the US Open??
Heck everyone else switched to Blaser he may as well!

rta48 · **Posted:** Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:45 pm

Well I suppose if Mike shot with Joey and saw him shooting a Beretta then that must say it all :roll:

I suppose he finally gave up on the Brownjammer :wink:

Like em or not, Blaser is making HUGE inroads - I owned one of the 1st ones and couldnt get rid of it quick enough, I did shoot one of the newer one's and while it wouldnt be my 1st choice, MAN OH MAN are some the higher end guns pretty :wink:

when do the new Blasers hit the street? Last I heard was early next year.....with the trap model being released later this year and having the O/U barrels seperated, a la Krieghoff style.

Do none of the top guns use a Beretta DT 10? If not I wonder why?

A much better question: What were the shotguns used by people who actually paid for them (not sponsored)?

I am not sure that that is a better question. Do you think any of the top 20 would have shot better with a gun they purchased? Good for them if they can land sponsor dollars, but I don't believe anyone would risk their performance over a sponsorship.

Maybe I'll give Huglu a call??? :wink:

Dan shot with a DT 10 but he will soon be switching to an SO 5 that he is getting from Beretta. He has to get the stock finished as it is coming with an inletted blank.

I know of 2 of the top shooters that are only shooting sponsored guns BECAUSE of the $$$ :wink:

I don't doubt that a sponsor makes for an easy gun decision, but the top guns won't risk poor performance for a $5000 (or more or less) shotgun.

I, on the other hand, would gladly slip back to B class for the right iron (preferably with killer wood). :mrgreen:

So, what were the top guns used at the Nationals?
