Thanks Michael, I will do some research

I picked up an Accushot scope yesterday. It's nothing special, only 4x zoom, but the cross hairs light up green or red and the intensity is adjustable.

I have been thinking about adding a red dot to mine

Fordman4ever · 10-08-2014, 09:53 PM

Looking for a good trap/skeet gun. any suggestions?

What's your budget? Most will tell you go with a used Browning Citori, as you can sometimes find them for $1200-1400. I opted for a CZ Canvasback. I think I paid $650 new for a 20g over/under. Great shotgun to get started with.

Fordman4ever · 10-08-2014, 10:20 PM

Looking in the $600 range. I have a chance to pick up an SKB semi auto for around that much. Anyone know anything about this company?

I love shooting with a break action over under. Very basic, and nice and light compared to a big pump action.

We've got a 20 and a 12 and both of them are easy to spend a whole day shooting clay.

Fordman4ever · 10-08-2014, 10:35 PM

Do you think trap and skeet are better with an over under or semi auto?

Purists will say O/U. My friend uses his semi, rather effectively.

Steve · 10-09-2014, 09:20 AM

I have an old Mossberg auto that I use for sporting clays. One day I'll get around to picking up an O/U, maybe.

Steve · 10-09-2014, 09:25 AM

Of course an AR-12 might be fun once in a while too...

Cmon over Sat and you can try both. I have used single barrel, OU and currently use an auto and all are fun its up to your own preference and your budget.

Flynnster · 10-09-2014, 11:27 AM

Another thing to keep in mind is where you are shooting. At my range you aren't technically allowed more than 2 shells loaded at a time. I think it's to keep people from blowing all 6 shells in their pump action trying to hit the one clay.

dijit · 10-09-2014, 12:01 PM

We allow only one shell at a time for trap, 2 for sporting clays.

Henry incoming.

Two years ago last week I ordered a Henry Varmint Express 17hmr rifle. Two years later I got bored with a gun I had yet to receive. Yesterday, I called up my local dealer and canceled the order and replaced it with a Henry Big Boy 357mag. I stopped by today only to find out these rifles are no where to be found currently. I swear, Henry must have their guns built by elves in a tree somewhere. My last resort was to ask about the limited additions they made last year in 44mag, 45 and 357mag. They were expensive. To my surprise, the distributor had two in stock. Now they have one. I bought one and should have it in my hands next Monday. Stupid money for a gun I'm going to shoot and not collect, but I was determined to get my hands on some sort of Henry rifle that I wanted. A rifle with bling. I hope nobody makes fun of me at the gun club.

Beautiful rifle Larry. Gorgeous.

Fordman4ever · 10-11-2014, 09:20 PM

Looks awesome.

dijit · 10-12-2014, 07:44 AM

Very nice weapon. I too have wanted a Henry for a long time but the price is still a little above what I can justify.
