Yeah, estimating $2000 is waaaaaay off.



He said $1500 max. That's doable with a Citori Lightning.

What about those Yildiz guns from Academy? They any good? I only shoot ducks and dove on occasion....don't know anything about O/u and clays.

The lightning is a discontinued gun, for good reason.

It has the old, woefully large, receiver that most clay shooters do not prefer. It's balance point is so far forward it feels like a tank. It did not go over well at all with the clay shooting crowd and browning promptly got rid of it. The 725 has a totally redesigned the receiver, ejectors, and locking mechanism. It's a vast improvement over the previous citoris and the bitching from clay shooters is why.

Furthermore, telling a guy that's buying his first clay gun to dive head first into the used OU market is not good advice. There's a really good chance to get screwed.
