looking for a good affordable sporting clay gun

[shooter_dave]

Hello everyone

Looking for a good/affordable 12 gauge either over/under or auto, I'm new to the sporting clay sport and finding it a little difficult with a pump action(damn rabbits... lol)

Can anyone help with either advice on what would work best, and or sell me a gun?

Thanks

might best be looking in the EE if you are starting out.

I'll probably be shunned, but I skeet with a Mossberg 590 Mariner pump.
I have no problems keeping up and or beating others.

I get weird looks from the old timers from time to time, but I'll give em a run for their money
When it starts to rain and everyone runs to tuck their fancy babies in cases, I can leave it in a puddle and have a coffee

And for 500-600 it didn't break the bank

Pretty much any 68* series Beretta, Browning Citori *25, Cynergy, Remington 396. Those should range from 800-3500 Dollars. Or an old superposed. Lots of options.

A pump gun isn't a great choice for a clays shooter. One more thing to remember to do on a tight pair. A reliable semi-auto is far better. The Beretta 391 is probably the best one on the market but the Browning Golds, Winchester SX3 and even the Remington 1100 will do better shooting clays than a pump.

The short-barrelled tactical gun is a very poor choice if you are serious about hitting targets on a regular basis.

Good, and affordable, I'd recommend a Remington 1100 in 2-3/4", with choke tubes. $500 should be reasonable for a lightly used gun.

Yes, you can get some pretty nice 1100's for $500.00 or less. A nice one just sold on the EE for I think $325.00.
