TMAC 0 Posted December 1, 2008 This is a truley a personal choice, with a million different anwers. i would choose a gas operated gun, the brand is what ever fits you the best. I like the new Winchester SX3 or the older SX2 in a gas gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banjo MD 10 Posted December 1, 2008 Sport shooter: You asked a pretty specific question so I'm gonna give you a specific answer; (providing the gun "feels right" and you're not hunting with "porting haters") look seriously at the Benelli SuperSport and Cordoba.

timb99 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Votes for gas semi-auto's. Remington 1100 or 1187; Beretta 390 or 391. Don't know much about the Winchester gas guns, but some folks seem to like them. But I'm starting to warm up to the Benelli SuperSport. A fellow I know who is a master class NSCA shooter uses one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splashtx556ftw 0 Posted December 7, 2008 i ve never shot sporting clays, but i do shoot a lot of 5 stand. i love my Charles Daly [heavier=slower], and my Franchi AL-48. lighter= more recoil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest vincejebsen Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah ill go for semi-autos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leftie 10 Posted January 28, 2009 that is an interesting question fore sporting clays you may have close shots and far shots on the same station so having an over and under, OU could be an advantage with two chokes but i seem to be able to swing the semi quicker . im not sure what the difference in the gas and enertia what are the advantiges please explain thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cksh8me 10 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) For my bank roll I would get a Browning O/U. 2nd choice would be a Beretta O/U. If you have more money get some high end Italian O/U job. O/U shotguns reign supreme when shooting sporting clays. If you have less money get a Benelli/Beretta semi auto. I really like the Beretta family of O/U shotguns but the warranty on the Browning is mcuh better and the Browning is more robust.

Mr. Mac 0 Posted February 15, 2009 What shotgun is the best to hold its own on the sporting clay field and in the duck blind? When it comes to sporting clays, by all means, a double (either O/U or SxS) is fine, but, when it comes time for the duck blind, my doubles stay home and out comes either the pump or the semi-auto. A double in a blind is a pain in the rear for everyone involved (if you're in a blind with others) be it floating, stationary or one of them nifty lay down on the ground things. Either way, having to break open my O/U in a duck blind with my two sons caused me to miss out on a couple of birds. That said, my answer would be either a semi-auto (gas or inertia) or, if you're really looking for a challenge, a pump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powell3182 10 Posted March 14, 2009 I shoot a SuperSport and got my girlfriend a Beretta Urika 2 20ga. I like both guns I would recommend both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Benelli 10 Posted March 16, 2009 I would for sure look at the Cordoba. That is probably the best cross over gun that Benelli makes. It has a great feel and has very little recoil. It will have the same or less recoil than a gas gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoosier Hillbilly 10 Posted March 18, 2009 Okay, truth is for me the best all-purpose gun I own is my Benelli SBE II. It is probably too light to be a seriously dedicated sporting clays gun, but that did not seem to be the question that was posed by the OP. Mine will cycle everything from 1 oz loads on up without a hitch. It will even cycle the hot 7/8ths oz Remington Gun Club loads. I also do pretty well with it shooting skeet low gun (break the occasinal 25-straight) and it is fun to shoot sporting clays with once in a while. I have also used it with great success hunting doves, crows, ducks, geese, phesants, etc. The only downside is recoil is a bit more noticable, then, say my 11-87s, but it does everything I ask of it and then some. Money well spent IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
