In The Market For A New Sporting Clays O/U Need Opinions

[JW74]

I was hoping to get peoples opinion on here regarding a few shotguns I have been looking at lately. I started shooting sporting clays a year ago and am really enjoying it! I placed 3rd at nationals this year in my class shooting my Browning Citori 625 Feather. It's a great gun but only has 28" barrels and at 6'3 I feel like I could benefit from a longer gun. I have shot a few 30" and 32" guns and they seem to fit better. I have shot a Blaser and it felt great. Ultimately I would like the Blaser F3 Super Sporting but am having trouble justifying the cost as I would also like to add sub gauge tubes at some point. Today I was able to shoot a Beretta 682 and it shouldered well and had a good feel as did a friends Zoli Z Sport that I shot as well. I also stopped at Bass Pro and shouldered a Guerini Magnus I think it was, it was the one with the dark heat treated metal on the receiver. It has a great feel and balance. I am not too familiar with the Guerini but it was new in the box for $4299. I also shouldered a used Kolar Sporting with adjustable aluminum but plate and full sub gauge tubes for $7500. Again that's a little on the pricey side, especially for a used gun. I am sure it has many miles left in it though. I know these guns really run the spectrum but wanted to hear what you guys thought of the Guerini, Beretta 682, Kolar, Blaser and Zoli? I know the Kolar is a top tier gun but am not sure how dependable the Guerini and Zoli's are. Thanks for any info and advice.

You'll get the same answer's over here that you did on SGW.

Just get the gun that when you look at it and shoulder it you go "YEAP this is it"

Thanks hopper, I wasn't sure if everyone was on both forums. As you said it looks like it's going to be the Beretta or Guerini, they both shoulder great and feel great!
