So....kfc sporting clays competition at Alpine after the lunch at Fred’s?
Only if we agree to rehash the Boykin/Joeckel and the "run the ball"/"pass the ball" debates beforehand

Nope. We are having adult beverages at Fred's so not shooting afterwards.So....kfc sporting clays competition at Alpine after the lunch at Fred’s?
I will also advise the Browning Citori. I have a 12 and a 20, and they are quick to shoulder, easy to move and second nature to aim.
Winchester 101 pigeon grade O/U. A bit pricey but a lifetime source of pride. Citori a pretty close second place. One bit about a O/U is the ease of packing since you can break them in half and a hard case is only about 31 or 32" long. Sometimes a long gun can be a pain in the butt to pack/disguise.
As a prior poster said, >2 shots while dove hunting is wasted lead. The only reason to need 2 is for shooting pairs. If you don't hit with your first shot, your percentages drop insanely on a second shot, and #3 (which is your limit with the required plug for an auto) is a near-guaranteed miss.
Shooting skeet/trap/sporting clays, O/U is almost exclusively what you'll see the regulars use.
Field trialed Brits for years, then went for German Wirehairs. Best gun dogs I've ever worked, and wonderful, calm companions.Get one of these also. Loyal, great dogs if not a little hyper sometimes. Nothing like watching one work a field for quail or pheasant.

Was at a charity shoot a couple weeks ago and everyone shooting the Browning A5 loved them, included our best shooter. I shot a few rounds with it and thought it was nice.Looking to purchase a new semi auto shotgun.
Will use primarily for clay shooting and dove/quail hunting.
I want a wood stock, but not positive what make or model I want yet. So far I'm considering the:
Beretta A400 Upland
Beretta A400 Xplor Action
Browning Maxus
Browning A5
Remington 1100
Willing to pay a little more for a gun that I'll be happy with for a lifetime.
Curious to hear the board's opinions and recommendations.
Thanks
HFB, is there a lot of difference between those and the beretta o/u? (not quality wise, but feel and handling)
Not that I am good enough to really know the difference.
I actually think there is. Benelli put some pretty solid engineering into it. They redesigned the breach to control recoil via the spring loaded locking plate and they added recoil buffers to the stock. It feels like shooting a 20 gauge o/u to me.
After a round of trap you'd see a huge difference between a silver pigeon and an 828u in my humble opinion.

Welsh springers are awesome gun dogs. And great with kids.
You hunt children?
