I am very new to shotgunning and am researching my first gun. What is the difference between trap or sporting guns and field guns?
I was told that trap/sporting guns are designed to have more shells fired, that they have beefier internals. It kind of makes sense since most trap shooters put more shells through their guns in a single day than most hunters I would imagine.
I was thinking of either the Remington 110 Classic Trap or the 870 Classic Trap. Would these also be suitable as general purpose (duck, pheasant, even occasional turkey) guns or should I go the other way and get the field version of whichever gun I choose and use it for trap as well? Thanks in advance for the help.
