Legacy Sports O/U

[ifit]

wondering if anyone on board have any hands on experience with this particular brand of O/U shotguns? just ordered my first O/U its from legacy called the Silver Synthetic

Made by Escort/Hatsan, which means made in Turkey. Some Turkish guns are well made, many still have issues. It isn't that the Turks CAN'T build a good gun, they are having some issues here and there, and when guns are built to low price points, something in the quality arena has to give. Whether yours falls under that scenario, time will tell.

First thing to do is to check for consistent and equal POA/POI with both barrels. many times, cheaply made guns will have the barrels shooting in two different time zones. IF that happens here, there really isn't too much that can be done that wouldn't be financially overboard. If not, then great. Make sure you clean the grease/crud off and then regrease/lube per owner manual directions. I use grease on pivot areas and oil on sliding areas. Pivot areas include the hinge pin, the knuckles and any under lug areas.

Good luck with it!

thank you sir, good info. once I receive it will put in some range time as you mentioned to check for POA/POI with both barrels. this is the model I ordered

Looks good, let us know how she does after 2k shots. I have a Turkish made CZ shotgun, so far, so good.

first time at the range with the shotgun,


chokes that came installed from the factory


changed out chokes for 25y


great shotgun, other than I guess I need to get used to the trigger as after the first trigger pull...I literally have to remove my finger completely/quickly from the trigger in order for the second trigger pull to reset, is this the norm on these type of shotguns? I guess im so used to semi-auto resetin themselves
