    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Your Citori sure is nice eastbank, very pretty gun. Looks like I am going to have to try the Beretta and Citori then and see which I like best. Sure wish I could afford a Krieghoff. Talk about a beauty. So is the Remington 3200 even in the same league as the Citori or Beretta? I have see a...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Okay, I think I just answered my own question. LOL. Man wish I had been saving since last year, I would be looking at getting this Browning. Is this a reasonable price? Of course that is the starting bid/price. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/574871149

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Thanks, man that Blazer is a pretty gun! Never heard of them before. I held off on purchasing that Gold. Saving for the right O/U. Hopefully this time next year I can have enough saved to get something really decent. I figured like Judge mentioned can put that money toward my O/U. Thanks...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Okay, I must be thinking of the Auto loaders then. My friend has the Remington 1100 I believe and I think his barrels are interchangeable I may be wrong. I guess I am still learning on the O/U's I thought that since I have seen them in cases with the barrel and the lowers separate that...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Completely understood. I am going to save up and get me a good O/U then when the time comes and cry once buy once like you all have said. Is the Browning Gold Sporting Clays 30" ported barrel a good gun for the price of $695 maybe pick it up at $625-$650. Just to have an extra autoloader...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    On the Browning Citori I am looking at with the 26" barrels can the barrel be swapped out on it like some of the other shotguns out there? Could I put a 28" or 30" on it? If so I would definitely look into it as a possibility for the $800 asking price. Or of course offer a bit less. I just...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Thanks guys, I am learning a heck of a lot here. I totally understand about the bead not being needed now. After shooting some more the other night I found I do not even notice the bead other than a few times and it has been after I busted the clay then I would just happen to see it...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Awesome, thanks so much. I definitely have some good options now to go off of. I found a really nice Citori locally for sale for $800 but it only is a 26". There is a Superposed Lightning 30" for $1130 on Armslist Locally but it says the front bead is missing. Not sure how hard that would be...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Good deal, thanks Mudstud. That Remington 3200 is a pretty gun! I like it a lot! At least this gives me some good options to go by. You are correct though Skeet Shooters are really sociable. I just may have to ask around and try some different ones to see what fits well. Thanks.

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Understood. Thanks Cooldill. What would be the bottom of the line to go with? Bottom Dollar 12 Gauge O/U you would go with that would be acceptable? Just something I can shoot for. Because I can get by with the autoloader now and save up for 6 months and get something decent. I would...

    First 12 Gauge Over/Under For Skeet Suggestions

    Went Skeet shooting for my first time at my Gun Club Friday and loved it! I used my NRA 12 Gauge Franchi Affinity Autoloader that my Mother won for me at the NRA Raffle. Nice gun and I enjoyed shooting it but I would like to get a decent 12 Gauge Over/Under. What would be a good one to get for...

    First 300 Win Mag/What To Get

    Man Llama Bob, you are really starting to get me to reconsider the .300WM. LOL. I already have a horrible shooting shoulder, have no cartilage left and it's bone on bone. Guess I am going to have to shoot the 300wm a little more to make sure. If I do purchase one I guess I will go used like...

    First 300 Win Mag/What To Get

    Sorry this may be a stupid question but what is the difference between a Remington 700 and a Remington 770? I see a Remington 770 in 300 Win Mag with a scope (did not specify which brand scope) I am sure a cheap one for $325 on Armslist. Seems really cheap. I have a feeling I am going to end...

    First 300 Win Mag/What To Get

    Thanks Flatbush Harry, that is a sweet looking rifle. I have never been a big hunter but it is something I would not mind getting into someday. I was originally looking for more long range shooting but it would be a nice option to have a rifle I could hunt with as well if I wanted. From what...
