I know the Citori is the gold standard. Are there other options that are strong too?

And with the Citori, there are a dozen configurations. I’m guessing this gun will only be used for skeet shooting. 28 gauge?

I’m kinda clueless on this so TIA.

I shot a 20 gauge O/U at a clay shoot last week. worked fine and not as fatiguing (as expected). But lots of folks were shooting their normal bird guns. Savage Stevens has O/U 20 gauges that's under $600-$700 on Cheaper than Dirt or Gun Grabber

oh and screw whoever decided to add the rabbit to the course. that just screws up a good day

I have a Beretta silver pigeon and a savage over under. Both are in 12 gauge. The Beretta feels better to me and it is more comfortable.

I wish i would have gotten it in a 20 or 28 gauge though as it is kind of heavy.

I recommend going to a store with a number of different guns and swing them. For clay shooting look at 30” plus barrels

While not a Browning or Beretta, I recently bought a CZ 20 that I’m really enjoying so far. I was looking at some higher end guns but I didn’t want to have to be overly protective of it out in the field, so I downgraded a little bit. I’ve killed doves and shot a few hundred target loads through it and have no complaints so far. All in for around $1k.

Franchi

Had a chance recently to play with some O/U shotguns and was impressed with the Franchi. Balance was good and swung it well. Have a Franchi Affinity in 20 gauge that shoots really well.

Will you just be skeet shooting or will you be shooting both skeet and trap and maybe sporting clays at times?

I'm beginning to learn a little about trap as my son is on his school's trap team. I'm researching trap guns right now.

Trap gun is way different that a skeet or sporting clays gun.

Standard trap gun is 32-34" barrels.
Standard skeet gun is 28-30" barrels (I believe that is correct but I may be wrong).

And what is your budget? That will give us a better idea.

Beretta, Kreighoff, Blaser, etc are all great guns but without a budget, it's hard to point you in the right direction.

I have 2 Ruger O/U, one is a 26" 20 gauge, other is a 30" 12 gauge with 5 chokes. I shoot the 20 as often as 12, find them both to feel light and they swing well, have really enjoyed both of them. I don't think either are in production anymore but have never had a problem with them.

I have a CZ canvasback that I won at a delta waterfowl banquet a couple years ago that I want to sell if any of you bawls are interested. I just don’t have any use for an OU
