TGS Outdoors highlighted the Krieghoff K80 Pro Rib for its impressive performance, the Garbi Arrow Titanium for its exquisite engraving, the Ruger Red Label for its unexpected shooting prowess despite its looks, the Longthorne Box Lock for its innovative titanium barrel, and the Beretta SL3 for its blend of craftsmanship and practicality.

Which shotguns were considered the worst by TGS Outdoors in 2023?

The Armi Cassini was deemed the worst for its unappealing aesthetics. The original Browning Auto-5 was disliked for its shooting experience. The Webley & Scott Pro Comp 1200 was criticized for its action quality relative to its features, and the Browning BPS .410 was noted as highly unreliable.

What makes a shotgun 'good' according to TGS Outdoors?

According to TGS Outdoors, a good shotgun balances aesthetics with practical shooting performance. While looks are appreciated, the ability to perform well, reliability, and the overall experience of using the firearm are paramount. Functionality often trumps mere appearance.

Why is the Browning BPS .410 considered unreliable?

The Browning BPS .410 is considered unreliable because its scaled-down action, compared to its 12-gauge counterparts, does not receive the same development effort, leading to consistent malfunctions with various shell types and brands. This is a common issue with many .410 shotguns.
