I know little about shotguns, and I'm a lefty. Been considering something a little better than my rem 870 for shooting at the occasional pheasant, and mostly clay pigeons.
Over the holidays 2 have showed up at my LGS that interest me.
One is a benelli auto in left hand, and the other is a ruger red label over/under. They're used, and the price is nearly the same on them 785 on the benelli and 800 on the ruger. Neither appears beat to my eyes, they have some honest handling marks but nothing severe. Both guns are missing some of the chokes. The ruger has 3 (missing the skeet chokes from rugers website) and the benelli has 2. but I don't know which ones they are.
All factors being equal - what would people here go with? Like I said, the use will be a pheasant from time to time, and the rest will be shooting at clays for occasional fun
