Here is one with the retriever.

The Cynergy belongs to my friend. It is a very nice handling gun, one of the few OU's on the market with a 3 1/2 inch chamber.

Now it looks even better,Herb.LOL.I read that the Cynergy has the lowest profile in the market and handles very well.
For anyone interested in that topic

Do you actually shoot 3 1/2" shells in that? :shock:

Thanks Vikram for the link.

99% of the time 3 1/2" shells are used.

Ouch!They must thump rather hard.What ranges do you usually shoot the fowl?Do you think the 2 3/4" or 3" would not do?Just curious and trying to understand.Thank you.

I always use 3.5" shells for waterfowl when using steel . Steel shots are not as effective as lead shots. I use 3" shells when using bismuth or tungsten shots.
