I've recently started getting into sporting clays and 5 stand shooting with a friend of mine who's rather experienced. I have a Benelli Super Nova as my bird gun (functional and can be tossed in the back of a truck without feeling bad about a scratch).
This bird gun works ok as a clay shooter, but isn't ideal by any stretch. I figger if I'm going to get more involved, I'm gonna need a better lead launcher.
I'm pretty much settled on a O/U style, as I can have 2 different chokes for different shots. I'm not in the position to spend Sig Aurora kind of money on my first sporting shotgun, but want something that I can use, grow into a bit, and keep for a long time.
As I was looking at Bud's Gun Shop's gun porn the other day, I came across a CZ Woodcock 103FE Deluxe for under $1000. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/37_588/products_id/17984
Anyone have any experience/thoughts on these guns? I'm looking at 12ga, 28-3-" barrel, and O/U....max price is $1000.
If you've seen or used something you think is better, please feel free to sound off.
Thanks.
