Shotgun.
I am going out tomorrow afternoon after work to look at Shotguns, what should I avoid ?

Want an over and under 12 bore, looking to spend 1-2K, I am left handed and looking at clay shooting, not that keen on killing things unless it's rat's and squirrel's, but I have quite a nice 410 for that, any pointers ?

Andy.

been clay shooting for years, and you really cant go wrong with a browning/miroku, or a beretta. Buy what feels nicests, not what necessarily looks the best etc.
If your gonna get seriously into clays you need to be looking multi choke, 30/32 inch barrels.
Its all about gun fit, so make sure the stock fits you.

Also, i personally prefer a level trap stock for everything, but i also know people who swear buy sporting stocks.

It really is like anything, it has to be comfortable to shoot well with it.

Probably Browning or Beretta Andy, as they are makes people go for if you want to sell and upgrade in the future. The guys at the pub in Leigh took me out a couple of times on their shoots and let me borrow a lefty Browning to try but I didn't take it up in the end..........

Intresting comments, thanks, any more most welcom. Thumbs Up

Zagato,

A local man then, Seven Stars or the Plough ?

Used to drink in the Stars years ago when in the hot fingers of the Doyle's. Rolling with laughter

Moved up the top of the hill now so a little out of my way.

Was at the Plough a few weekends ago at an engagement party though.

Andy.
