How about Shotguns. Except for the occasional review in American Rifleman most of the reviews written on scatterguns are more like advertisements for the manufacturers. After getting burned badly reading glowing reviews on a gun that turned out to be junk I take all reviews with a grain of salt. I even shoot ( Ok he is a member of my monthly travelling club and I always get put in the squad behind him) with one of the authors who does reviews for several magazines and I know his biases and would never ask him for advice on buying a gun.

The best review of a gun is to go to a range where the guns are shot and see what the other shooters are shooting, then ask questions and ask to shoot the guns. Junk doesn't last long on the trap or skeet fields.

(Anybody interested in a Remington Peerless 12 ga 30" bbls with 15 1/4 lop.) He He He!
