If it’s for skeet and sporting clays look at the yildiz over and unders at academy.

This is the right answer, unless you want to duck hunt with the gun. Not that a 2 hole shotgun won't kill ducks all day long, but a 3" shell in a light weight O/U shotgun will pound you. Plus a third shot comes in handy shooting ducks. Finishing off cripples before they can get out of range is a lot easier with a third round in the magazine.

I have a Yildiz O/U I use for skeet, clays, dove and quail. I love that gun.
