Carlen Cyphers Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I am not new to shooting, but I am getting my first shotgun for Christmas. I will be using it for hunting as well as quite a bit of sporting clays. I originally was going to get a Browning Citori Lightning O/U as I know it is a great sporting clays gun, but would be a little bulky for hunting... I am having second thoughts, but I think I should stick to my gut and go with the Super Vinci (it fits me like a dream). Is this gun a decent sporting clays gun or am I crazy? I feel like the Super Vinci will be more versatile then the Browning O/U...what do you guys think? Chances are if I do get the Super Vinci (and the Super Vinci may have already been bought for Christmas by my dad) I will eventually get an O/U for clays but it may be years down the road.

But is that true? And does that make it a decent gun for sporting clays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Quite frankly, ANY shotgun that's suitable for hunting would make a decent SC gun. That's kind of what that game is all about, mimicking various hunting presentations. Heck, I shoot SC, Skeet, 5-stand, pheasants, quail, and ducks with my 21" M1. The semi will be more versatile than the O/U in a number of ways. At least 1 extra shell in the gun, depending on what you're hunting. I've found the O/U to be harder kicking than the semi since the semi action is taking up some of the recoil impulse. I hardly ever shoot my O/U's any more. And when I do, I'm reminded of why I don't shoot them that much. If I was ONLY shooting one game (skeet, trap, whatever) and shooting only one soft shooting target load, I might go with the O/U. Hence, MY reasoning on the versatility of the semi over the O/U and if I was limited to one gun that's the one I'd go with. I'm sure some will disagree. YMMV That's why they make different kinds.
