Inexpensive Inertia Semi-Auto options

[TNRifleman]

I don't duck or dove hunt much at all but would like to have a fairly inexpensive inertia driven semi-auto. I've narrowed it down to the Weatherby Element and the CZ 1012. Does anyone have any experience with either of these and could offer an opinion?

I have no experience with the cz but the element is a solid choice

Out of curiosity why not a stoeger?

I've actually had a Stoeger M3000 before. It's really well built but just didn't shoulder right for me.

Might be more than you're looking to spend. I really like my Franchi Affinity 3.

Thanks for the input guys. I have a local buddy who recommended the Retays and I found a good deal on a Retay Gordion.

Retay Gordion.

That's the one I'd go with—their Masa Marai model has a trigger assembly that's liable to pop out unexpectedly, with no pin.

I bought a Weatherby 20g about 10 years ago, it's a gas system with synthetic stock, shoots great light weight . have read if shooting a lot of skeet it may have issues but not the first blip dove shooting from me. they make a wood stock but wanted water repellent and light weight. lot of choices these days.
