Swamp Yankee Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Has anyone had any expeeince with the 20-gauge Cordoba? I'm thinking it might be a good carry gun for upland birds and it won't beat up my shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Have you considered an Ultralight? I just wondered if many hard core upland guys thought about using that fine machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Yankee Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 A pound can make a difference during a long day. But the Cordoba has some features the Ultralight doesn't, which might make up for the extra weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I use an Ithica 37 16ga for grouse and woodcock,when the hike will be long.The Cordoba is an awesome rig,though.I'm sure someone around here will answer you about it.I'll stick with turkey talk with the Benelli's.Hit me up when that strikes your fancy. Good luck this Fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeRugers2 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I went and checked out the Cordoba ($1625) and M2 ($1140)at my local dealers. Why is there such a big price difference? I was hoping to see some awesome posts here to justify the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtCathy Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 For those long days in the field, I carry a short stock, 20 gauge Monty with just two shells loaded. When I'm trying to imptress people I carry an older 20 gauge Browning upland model Citori with English stock. But, that even gets heavy after a few hours. The little Monty at just over 5 pounds can't be beat. Mine cost me $ 950, but that was a few years ago. SgtCathy Cape Cod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoegerStrong Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 20 gauge is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Yankee Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 20 gauge is the way to go You are so right. 12s have the big bang going for them but a nice, light 20 is definitely the way to hunt upland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgByte Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I went and checked out the Cordoba ($1625) and M2 ($1140)at my local dealers. Why is there such a big price difference? I was hoping to see some awesome posts here to justify the price. It could be the Cyrogenic barrels on the Cordoba that add the extra cost. I just purchased one in 12 gauge and absolutely love it! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
