I bought a very nice Browning Auto-5 in 16ga for dove hunting. While practicing at my club I've gotten interested in skeet. (Not necessarily competition, but just friendly 1 on 1.) 16ga shells are VERY hard to find and my gun club only allows 1 shell in the gun at a time.
So I've decided to buy a 12ga to take advantage of the cheaper/ more plentiful 12ga ammo. I'd like to hold the price to about $650. What would you suggest I buy? An O/U or a more modern auto? I'm the type guy who'd rather have a used Browning, Beretta or Benelli than a brand new no-name. But if an inexpensive gun like a Stoeger O/U is an outstanding deal, then let's hear it.
One last thing... no offense, but I'm not really interested in what you have. I'm more interested in what gun coaches are guiding their beginning students to so that they get the best value.
