[@chriswillett9735]

Lots of questions since I last checked. Firstly for those who have trashed the experience “ waste of money “ etc etc, no one forced me to buy Perazzi. Measurements are fitted to you under close supervision of experts, in my case Bywell and Perazzi. If you are worried about getting shafted after your wood selection, then stay in the factory and see it going in the CNC machine or you could go and enjoy some lunch. The measurements on all 3 made to measure Perazzis’ have been the same, on my last one I decided to have the stock 5mm longer, that’s personal preference and I’m having a slightly longer butt pad fitted on the gun featured. A made to measure cost no more than an off the shelf one, just travel and accommodation are the extras. I will never compete in high level competition I’m a Sunday shooter , I’ve just been kicked out of C class into B. Thanks for those who appreciate this fantastic experience, sorry for those who didn’t , that’s life.

I've been in the shooting sports for 51 years. My dream has always been to own a Perazzi. Due to medical problems I was never able to fulfill my dream but watching this video has brought me some insight on the entire process. Great video and thank you very much for sharing your experience.

I am so envious of Chris. What a wonderful thing to be able to do. Good for him.

[@darrenmclaughlin8971]

Great video. Nice to see exact images of the gun and detail as to the customising process. Thanks Bywell.

[@spewgilist]

I’m not as well heeled, so I had an older MX-8 restocked by a factory-connected gunsmith in the USA (Giacomo). The fitting process made a huge difference. Pull, cast, palmswell, drop, recoil pad, comb type were all customized and it feels wonderful. After tens of thousands of shots, it still feels magical to mount and shoot the gun.

[@jerryw6699]

Thanks Chris for allowing us to see your experience, I want to do this someday, this helps me decide and feel more comfortable with the project.

[@glbshooter]

È uno dei video più belli sulla visita in perazzi. Complimenti!

[@Gator-357]

I don't have a Perazzi but I do have a Parker Hale SxS 28 gauge that I got when I was 8 years old and hadn't shot in probably 30 years. When I did pick it back up it didn't quite feel right so I had trusted and competant local gunsmith custom fit a new stock and forend and it became a whole new gun. It is such a joy to shoot and is almost effortless to swing and put on target, it's like it automatically tracks and shoots itself. It's not an expensive gun but it sure feels like one now and it has already put plenty of birds on the table and is going to provide many more. This was my first ever custom fit gun in almost 60 years of shooting and it makes all the difference in the world when done properly. I totally get it now. I used to be of the volition that all the expense and fuss and waiting was just a bunch of malarke, for rich people with more money than brains to have something else in their collection to brag about that they unneccassarily spent a ton of money on just because. I get it now. If I had the money, I would own a lot more high end guns that are custom fit. I can only imagone just how nice one of these guns is to shoot.

[@mozut82]

Beautiful work of art and craftsmanship

[@cehsr8]

I enjoyed the video as a long time Perazzi owner (TMS) and trap shooter. Few guns are as reliable as a Perazzi--they rarely let you down. It would be a pleasure to have a custom gun made but I have seen plenty of these fine guns "off the shelf" that have won lots of tournaments.

[@Xnocturnus]

Well done on your acquisition. If, for any reason, your mount changes then I'm sure Perazzi will adjust the stock to suit. I'm envious! ;-)

[@75ykraps]

I have an old comp 1 and an MX8 Not fitted from the factory but I do love the guns. I started with a Browning BT99 and a Winchester 101. Had a Remington 32 for awhile also a nice gun. But by far the comp 1 is my favorite.

[@TomCinKC]

What a wonderful experience!

[@parrisgeorge9708]

Thanks for putting this video up. Perazzi builds a great firearm and this look at the service they offer at nothing extra to the end shooter is really a good thing. There are 2 things that stood out to me. The first was just how quickly the person doing the checkering worked. THAT shows someone that's got serious years in perfecting their craft. The second was how smart Chris in the selection of the recoil pad he did from a fitting standpoint. I hope he has many years of enjoyment with the firearm.

[@davidrquinones]

Very nice video. What a lucky man to get a perfectly fitted Perazzi.

[@BywellShootingGroundTV]

Thank you.

Bought my first gun from Bywell. Good Lads.

[@gilliganlittlebuddy3083]

Beautiful gun Chris! That is some of the prettiest wood I've seen on a Perazzi. I'm not sure I'd call those patterns 50/50 but I'd be positively thrilled with them. I think a 55/45 or so (what I think you've got there) is perfect for sporting. Well done sir.

[@Darthdoodoo]

I love how the stock fitter just keeps walking up and looking down the barrel.

[@matt5mith356]

Nice one Chris, that’s an absolutely stunning gun. I can but dream! You look comfortable shooting at the end. Hope it does you proud. Couple of questions if you don’t mind, did you have your previous gun fitted (reason for asking was that I’m curious that fit may (or may not) change as age and ailments progress maybe..)? Was it a lot different (measurement wise) to your older gun? Do you notice a big difference in handling? Have your scores shifted upwards? And finally, was it a lot more expensive than having one straight off the shelf? Cheers, Matt

[@BeefaloBart]

Attention to detail, and pride in workmanship. If only there were more companies that put in the effort like this. Sadly there are no US firearms manufacturers who go the extra mile to provide their customers with a high end product worth the price tag.

[@DFox-ud3gx]

What a GREAT ROAD TRIP, to buy a very nice Trap gun love it . Very good looking gun. Total craftsmanship such elegant wood .

[@garytree7729]

Bloody good for you mate, it's your money you do what you like with it. It doesn't matter if you aren't a professional, if you enjoy it and want a gun like that, then rock on....!!!

[@chriswillett1364]

Thanks Gary

[@AfricanSouthernCross]

I totally agree with the buyer when he said that the forehand grip too thick....I would even take more off.

[@AGC828]

Gives new meaning to the words "custom gun" This looked like Chris was being fit for a custom made suit. :) Is Parazzi THE #1 "sporting/trap--custom fit shotgun" maker? Does Beretta offer the same service? I know Browning has their custom devision. Called "James M Browning" . So they do custom fit sporting shotguns too. So I suppose all makers do. Krieghoff...etc.

[@williamavery9185]

A great presentation. Can you tell me though how a measured stock can be perfect . If for example a sporting gun is used in summer, the shooter maybe just wearing a shirt. But in winter he may wear tweeds and a waistcoat. So how will the gun fit then ?

[@npet6842]

Reduce the recoil pad size . Many high end guns ship with two or three thickness of butt pads .

[@asoaresti]

I want one

[@finallyfriday.]

Love this video...only one question : where is I- uh- ee? Some place where there speak Italian, I suppose.

[@raynabozny2338]

I tried this method in 1996 while in Italy for The Italian Grand Prix in Monza...Couldn't find the factory after driving around for 3 hours in the days before GPS.I would recommend getting detailed directions to the factory.

[@thelongslowgoodbye]

It's a great to see what the factory looks like and the process of how the guns are fitted but I can't help but notice how the presentation by John Henry seemed quite scripted instead of being off-the-cuff or casual.

[@c.g.c2067]

What a lucky man Chris is :)

[@jem0911]

Not sure why you have a barrel selector when it’s half and half fixed. But glad you enjoyed the trip.

[@edgarchurch8884]

Good point. I was wondering this too. I would prefer to have well made screw-in chokes,...But? My wife has a MX2000 S (coil springs). This trigger has never failed her. We shoot about 50,000 rds/year each, mostly reloads. Reloads are not good for any firearm, esp shotguns.

[@inbirdhunter7299]

Bottom barrel for rising targets and top for flat or ground targets?

Different cartridge in each barrel for birds and distance shot .

[@fahadkhan8596]

Great what is the price of over-under for hunting Perazzi

[@sukhjindersingh1675]

Which type steel are you using for barrel

[@alessandrociucci404]

molto interessante!!!

[@MrChrissy1r]

I used to own a Perazzi it had two sets of barrels one for sporting and one for the "trap"disciplines, ie 30 and 34 respectively, If memory serves, I liked the gun, I shot well with it, but thought it over priced, and to be honest, only well engineered. By that I mean it was not exceptional, or perfect. I sold it on after a couple of years, and went back to my preferred guns,, a couple of Beretta's a nice little side by side for Pheasant /game and rough etc, , and an O/U multi choke 686 for sporting and skeet, and my very best friend a Miroku O/U trap gun. Straights on all disciplines were no strangers to me.

[@FYMM69]

Not sure Chris is an experienced enough shooter to fully appreciate a high end gun like this

[@punisher203]

I should go to the Perazzi factory and ordered my 1st Perazzi MX8 and the High Tech bunker gun. well someday I will order one from the factory

[@robertunderdunkterwilliger2290]

Any benefits of a coil sprung action, other than reliability? Do V sprung guns have shorter action time?

[@BywellShootingGroundTV]

Coil springs tend to last a lot longer. V springs are said to give better trigger pulls but the difference is negligible in our opinion, they are very fast and simple to change however.

[@orion7873]

As a 33 year old guy, thats one of my many goals in life... Have a custom made sporting clays gun. I was hoping they'd say how much that model gun cost.

[@mattivirtanen8545]

Custom fitting is pretty standard for Perazzis from what I know. The cost for one is between 9, to 85k here in Finland. The most expensive ones have gold and shit in them, so I'm guessing around 10k would be the prize for the blokes gun there.

[@jerryw6699]

I'm 52 now, when I was about 33, I had a custom made Mauser rifle, It is an experience to choose the dimensions and wood and barrel and all that other stuff. I want to do a Perazzi, I own a used MT6, had it set up to fit me by a local Perazzi guy. IT's great but I would love to go through the whole process like Chris did. I think one like Chris's would be over 15k usd. That grade of wood is not cheap.

[@finallevel29]

Looks fabulous, what a wonderful opportunity. Well done all. Just one thing, when you choose your wood for the stock, do you watch that going into the machine to be cut. As there are fiddles in every job, would hate too think I’ve been shafted. As you wouldn’t really know! How is the Gun, Chris? Would you recommend this service, and if buying again what would you do different. Best regards

[@chriswillett1364]

Hi I have every confidence that what you select is what you get, Wood has its characteristics and could break in the process, Mauro Perazzi is a true gentleman and if a problem occurs I’m 100% certain you would be informed, I can’t recommend this complimentary service highly enough and since this video have purchased another, would I change anything, no , as long as you take a skilled expert with you to make sure it suits your discipline, Regards.

[@chriswillett1364]

I’ve been fortunate to have purchased made to measure Perazzi Guns, some of the comments of my shooting style, Bywell and Perazzi Service are bordering on rude !!, I have to say that the service on every occasion has been exemplary and have no regrets. I am just a weekend shooter and enjoy the nice things in life, so critics that point out how I shoot do not bother me in the slightest. I have been to Perazzi with Bywell and other clients and every customers’ visit leaves them feeling satisfied, if you take a look at Lloyd Pattison’s reviews of his own made to measure Perazzi that is testament to the whole process, Lloyd is a very good shot , he divorced his love affair with his K80 and has no regrets , you can view all of his videos on his “ Gun Shorts “ U Tube channel.

there is nothing more important in shooting a shotgun it must fit you ,if it does not fit you you're not going to hit your birds consistently it's worth the time and money to do it right.The only thing i do not like is trigger group does not drop out of the gun for easy cleaning replacing of trigger springs,other than that work of art,But for people like you and me that are not in the market for a $50,000 shotgun to shoot trap see if you can find a really nice Winchester model 12 spend a few dollars on the trigger and making the gun fit and you got one hell of a shotgun

[@charliebowen5071]

[@chriswillett1364]

Hi The cost is dependant on the price you negotiate with your dealer , please believe me Perazzi do not add a penny for this bespoke service, only transport, food and accommodation, well worth it.

[@toucodom592]

et il y en a pour combien

[@Bwanar1]

Sorry, but I think he jumped the gun on buying a custom gun. Should have put a little more time into shooting and technique before having one tailor made. He doesn't even have his mount down! That is one of the first things you need to know. Can't believe his coach didn't have him doing flashlight drills every evening, when he first started.

[@skeetman22]

Bwanar1 I thought the same thing

[@benihanah]

I agree, but when you start shooting and you have money to throw at a custom Perazzi, the temptation of that classic country club image in your head supersedes a lot of the rationale process. He still mounts and shoots with one eye was what I noticed. I'm not great, but I don't see myself moving beyond my 870; simple, reliable, durable, and proven in every course of fire.

[@Bwanar1]

Yes, if you have the money and can afford it...knock yourself out. He will likely need another one once he get's a reliable mount. He looks so uncomfortable mounting that gun, when it should be effortless.

[@skeetman22]

Bwanar1 exactly the point

[@chriswillett9735]

Points noted, I have no issues with this gun, I’m never going to compete at any more than club level and won The Christmas shoot at my local club, the gun has been admired by many and has resulted in numerous additional sales for the great team at Bywell’s, I really enjoy my shooting at my level and enjoy the Perazzi experience, visiting the factory is an excellent experience, whatever your shooting skills I can’t recommend it highly enough, regards CHRIS.

[@bavariasuhl]

Chris looks like he has never shot a shotgun in his life the way he mounts it.

That’s your opinion, to me and the vast majority of comments are positive, it’s only a hobby and don’t really care about my gun mount.I enjoy shooting on Sundays probably never be as good as you, so what, there are always people that know best but again really not bothered.

Does Chris have to pay for John's flight and accommodation as well as his own I wonder? Seems like Chris was being a bit led on by John at times especially with the fore end adjustment and also I think Chris should have been allowed to unbox his brand new gun...

[@chriswillett1364]

Hi, no I don’t pay for John’s flights or accommodation, you agree a price with Bywell then as I live over 300 miles from the shop I met him at the featured hotel, John will need to take 3 clients to make it pay , I’m sure if you wanted a true one to one experience then additional costs maybe incurred, to be honest going with other clients is a real “ crack “ as the Italian hospitality in the evenings is brilliant. The guns are always checked by Bywells before being handed over, I’m sure you could request it collected unopened.

[@drgdfhfdhfd498]

Its kinda stupid in a sense to have a normal stock fitted perfectly to you since gaining/losing only 5 kg changes everything alot. Adjustable stock is the way to go even if its uggly

[@jerryw6699]

I don't know about that, and you can always change a stock. I've been shooting the same Perazzi since the late 90's, and it is adjustable, but have never changed a thing about it, and I have gained 20 lbs and shrunk an inch. Still shoot AA class.
