Short background, I recently have gotten into the clay sports. I picked up a used Winchester Super X1, a high 4 digit serial, and as far as I can tell all original. Great shooting gun, but a 30" full choke barrel isn't exactly the greatest option for sporting clays or skeet (though it sure ink blots them when I connect). I am on the lookout for a 28" Super X barrel that has been threaded, but I don't want to mess with 30" barrel I've got currently. In the interim why not get another gun?
After doing a lot of looking I'm currently trying to decide between a new a400 Xcel Multitarget (yes it's pricey, but they are available unlike some other options) or some flavor of the a300 (much cheaper). I can't really find a compelling reason to go with the a400 over the a300 in terms of the technology. Is there an advantage to the new rotating bolt? It's not like it's a center fire rifle that might need the extra primary extraction power. The "balance cap" is a good idea, but there are a lot of ways to add weight to the forearm of a shotgun.
If there isn't a reason to go with the a400 over the a300, anyone have any suggestions on which model of the a300 to go with?
