I am fairly new to clays shooting and have been mostly shooting skeet and sporting clays however I am interested in trying trap as well. I need a new gun and was wondering if anyone could suggest a good all round clays gun. I have been looking at the Browning 725 line.
All round clays gun

I have four 725s, two sporting clays guns(12/20), a trap gun, and a field gun. They fit me well, so I can shoot them to my potential, and so far, no issues with any of them. For your uses, buy a quality skeet/ sporting clays gun that fits you well, and have fun.
Have to agree buy a 725 sporting with an adjustable comb it will be the most versatile for all the clays sports . I have a 725 sporting with 30 " barrels and non adjustable comb .the gun fits great .it is a pleasure to shoot . 95% of my shooting is sporting clays and small bit of skeet . I would recommend the 30" barrels for a all around gun .

I own a 725 sporting with adjustable comb, but opted to go with the 32" barrels.
She really has a lot of flexibility when I cones to a shotgun. Love it for sporting clays (even tho most people say 32 is to long), exells at trap, never did like skeet so no worries there. Does very well as my duck gun as well.
Seems I can get 4 off, before the semi guys with 3 even think about reloading.
The 3" chamber is perfect for ducks and peasant.

My field gun has 28" barrels, my 20 gauge Sporting has 30" barrels, and My two 12 gauge 725s have 32" barrels. I chose the barrel lengths that I did, because those barrel lengths provided the balance and handling that I prefer. I shoot sporting clays and skeet with the Sporting models, and trap with the trap gun, and 32" barrels are not too long for me, for skeet, sporting or trap. As for the 3" chamber, I will never use it, I don't use these guns for waterfowl, and I would never dream of using 3" loads for pheasant or upland birds.
32" is a very common barrel lengthy for sporting clays o/u and isn't too long even for skeet.
