If shotguns were invented in 2021, they would be illegal as anything over .50 bore size would be a destructive device. No loophole as they were...
I shoot my CZ SxS's occasionally, one is a .410 with a mod and full, only ever shot a couple 25 straights with it, it is a tight pattern for a...
I understand about picking up cases from an auto. My 11-87 is one of my best skeet guns with the 30" barrel installed. With SxS's they have a...
Welcome!
I like the feel of a Beretta shotgun over Browning when it comes to O/U's, but can shoot both well. Some of the newer Brownings that I have...
Remember that most "target " O/U shotguns will have a manual safety switch that doesn't reset itself when you break open the gun. Field guns are...
You are pretty much to the point that you either get a good target auto shotgun or a decent O/U shotgun. Go to a shotgun club that has sporting...
A lot of waterfowl hunters really like the Beneli Black Eagle guns, recoil operated. Seem to have bit more "felt" recoil. Beretta A400 spreads...
Are you using the gun for hunting with a steady diet of 3.5" magnum rounds or shooting clay targets. A semi-auto gas operated gun is about the...
I have one Win M12, it is a trap gun. I have one Win 1897, it has a polychoke on the end and ugly looking enough I didn't want to like it, but I...
Yes, I have always used eye and ear protection shooting, unfortunately I went without ear protection one afternoon for about 20 minutes near a...
I have been loading the 7/8oz loads that run about 1125fps, still function fine in my 11-87, and will crush birds back to the 20 yard line with...
I came across the 12 gauge 870 special field at a gun show about 6 years ago. It had barely been shot and was in excellent shape. $400. It came...
Considering that load is about the equivalent of a light 28 gauge load it should be fine unless there are already problems with the gun. Probably...
A Foster type slug, commonly called a rifled slug, will be fine in a full fixed choke shotgun. Sabot type or some of the Brenneke slugs may cause...
The shotgun should handle all standard 2 3/4" shells standard and heavy loads. That recipe should be fine for your gun as long as you use the...
Bismuth loads for hunting migratory waterfowl. A bit expensive, but not as bad a tungsten shot. Do not use steel, it might hold up to few shots,...
The price actually doesn't sound too bad for what you got. I have never shot any of the shotguns made by Merkel, but handled and shot a .470...
I have 4 1100's, and an 11-87. Love them all. The 11-87 has at least 30,000 rounds through it, mostly target loads. A handful of slugs and some...
I have been just running a cylinder open choke tube in my 12 and 20 gauge guns when shooting skeet for the most part. I also run 7/8oz light...
