Deciding on an O/U

I'm not that big of a guy, they feel like a 2x4 in my hands.

O.P. as said before, your gun is the cheapest part of the obsession. Mine as well get one that you'll be happy with for a long time, nothing is worst than losing targets for gun malfunctions, it could ruin your mind.
 
Different strokes for different folks…
Back in the day, some car buyers chose the Edsel because they found the toilet seat grill a thing of beauty. :barf:

Big Jim, my friend, you like the K-gun 'cause it's slender, but not the P-gun because it's skinny. Doesn't the K-gun have a lower and longer action than a P-gun? It seems the K-gun is the skinny one. ;)
 
isn't it funny that the browning guys like the german guns and then there is the italians?, or is it just my observations

AW, just because we can't afford one at the moment, doesn't mean we can't appreciate them for what they are......unlike many folks here who disparage anyone who spent more than $2-300 on some pump gun as a waste of money.....;)
 
In some old thread here, some one came up with the Dave McCracken Monetary Unit, or DMMU. It was around $250, the price of a decent used WM 870 then. That was because I was in the habit then of pricing some of the high end guns as costing so many used WM 870s.

These days, 870s still outnumber other shotguns here, but the O/Us are catching up. The Beretta 686 gets the most action now, but the little SKB 20 gauge is getting some exercise also.

Best advice I can offer is to get some pump guns, then whatever you like. For many folks, a decent O/U will fill some niches well, and last a lifetime.

And finally, the price of a decent O/U,factored out over the useful life, is much less than one would think.

Get what you want and use it. If it's a US made pump or a B gun, it will last longer than we will, no matter how healthily we live.

Or a gun rack....
 
I sure can't fault one of these... For skeet and sporting clays, this thing is downright awesome... Can't find a pic of mine.. So this will have to be a stunt double... Beretta 682 E Sporting with 30" barrels... Completly rebuildable...
