I have owned one for a few years and used in several cowboy action matches. Yea she was a little rough out of the gate but after a little TLC she’s smooth as silk and honestly my times using it compared to my times using my 1897 16guage are so close together it’s a toss up. They do take some practice getting used to but don’t all things. For the price when I purchased mine and even today’s market prices I don’t think you can wrong. It’s different heading out to cowboy action matches which fits my needs as I’m… Read more »
Im a Cowboy action shooter and have been for many years .
This gun is considered one of the biggest peace of JUNK guns ever made .
Very few people use them and after they buy this gun they sell it fast .
JUNK ! STAY AWAY !
Rooster
Yea I was wondering. When a vendor hides where their product is manufactured, for me that means CHINESE JUNK, or Filipino junk or Turkish junk. Anyone know which 3rd world sxithole it’s made in?
The marks are NOT hidden, there is a MASSIVE and UGLY stamp on the left side of the action that says:
“PW87-[SERIAL NUMBER]
PW87
MADE IN CHINA
CAI GEORGIA VT
ZHONG ZHOW MACHINE WORKS CHINA”
Which is obviously why you never see any photos of the left side of the receiver…
I bought one last year, and I have handled several, and I must say the actions are all rough, the triggers all suck, AND the hammer spring on mine broke on the 6th or 7th time I cycled the action. Cycled the action, not fired, not dry fired, just cycled. The spring looks like it was cast, and not properly heat threated at that. Several gunsmiths, and one guy at Century, verified that this has been an ongoing problem. AND it took Century over a month to get me a replacement spring, which looks exactly like the defective spring except… Read more »
the chiappa is also $1K dealer price, you get what you pay for
A lever action shotgun, that has my interest and Dave in Fairfax says the price is $295 to $329. Sounds good.
I bought one last year and was shocked at how good the action on mine really was. Some of the reviews I was reading was that the gun was the biggest piece of junk out there, but once I tried it and shot it, I really fell in love with the gun, and for the price? Well, you can’t beat that!
Century could make the best firearm in the world, and Century haters would run it down. My RAS 47 has been perfect, and 1 inch groups at 100 years.
Impact has them for $329, J&G for $290.
How much does it cost.
My former Father-in-law regularly hunted with a Winchester 1887 in 10 gauge, pretty good with it too.
Cool story dude…..
