Is it just a brand you dont like ? No, I am no "fanboy" by any means, and tenfd to just buy whay I need and like, and can afford.
Is it something less than you paid for your gun ? Certainly not. IMHO, price often has little to do with quality and looks. I have seen plenty of cheap guns that shoot great and are dead nutz reliable, and have seem expensive guns that arent any better, and somethimes worse, in the looks, accuracy, and reliability department.I dont subscribe to the my/this gun/brand costs more, so it's better than that gun/brand.
what exactly makes a gun 'ugly' ? no real specific criteria for me really, It's just what tickles my fancy, or what doesnt.That said, for an example, I find the gun in the OP to be pretty fugly
, but if the owner likes it, and it does what he needs, and does it well, then thats the most important thing. Also, not my gun or my money, so what I think about it's appearance means diddly
to anybody, and I'm fine with that.
This is the nicest looking shotgun I own, and love everything about it, not just the looks. Also like the fact that it was my dad's, and was one of his favorites out of the 12 or so guns he gave me a few years before he died. We did a lot of rabbit and bird hunting with it, and its 20ga counterpart when I was younger, and shot plenty of skeet with them too.
