returning to Trap & Skeet after many years away, previous guns were Browning Special Sporting and Citori, Benelli Supersport.
Looking now at:
- Beretta a400 Xcel (Parallel Target or Standard)
- Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 Sporting
- Browning Citori 725 Sporting (30" non-ported)
- Browning Crossover Target
I've been able to test-fit the first 3 in local stores, but not the Crossover (which I've seen at a Nevada Cabelas near me). Both the Silver Pigeon and 725 seem to fit great. The a400 is kind of my leading favorite, but I'm a little "tall" looking down the rib, and can't seem to find out what the range of adjustment the shim provides - anyone know how much drop at the comb is possible? The standard Xcel sight picture is great, but the Parallel Target is a little high.
To complicate matters, I'm looking for a gun more or less equally split between Skeet (Metcalf Park, SJ) and Trap (Sunnyvale Rod & Gun). I enjoy both and don't want to get a 'specialized' gun - expecting I'll get 30" or 32" barrel. I'd love to get an adjustable comb but can't find any in my price range ($2,300).
Any opinions much appreciated -
