[QUOTE="REN, post: 5588803, member: 4849"] just a note when you are looking. Aluminum receivers are good if you want a lighter gun to carry in the field, however if it is going to be a clay gun then I would shy away from that and look more at steel receivers. More weight is much better for clays for recoil and swing. Lighter guns are more difficult to keep a swing with and aluminum recievers will not last as long. if you are doing one (Trap or sporting clays) more then the other generally then get a gun more geared toward that. Trap guns will generally have a longer barrel, higher ribs and have more of a 70/30 POI pattern. Sporting clays you can get away with more of a sporting model with a 50/50 POI or at most 60/40 pattern. not saying you need a "TRAP" gun vs a sporting, you can get one gun that will do both just fine. Just saying if you tend to shoot trap or like trap more then Id get one set up that leans more toward that type of shooting. Like getting one with an adjustable comb so you can move the POI up or down depending on what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
