double gun speak: What is meant by a "single-selective"

[DonaldBabbett]

trigger on an over/under shotgun?

I thought the barrel selector was mounted on the safety switch.

Does a Beretta Silver Pigeon I 20 carry, mount, swing, point and shoot as nicely as any Belgian FN Browning Superposed 20 from the 1950's in excellent condition?

Do the pheasants fall just as hard with the modern-day Italian gun as they did with the classic Belgian gun?

How does the 686 Beretta stack-barrels handle those nasty darting mourning doves?

No troll. I gave up fishing 15 years ago.

I seriously want to know more about huntin' shotguns.

I have killing critters with feathers for meat on my mind as of late
unless you think I should study up on falconry.

Single vs double triggers. Selective by a mechanism. Varies by Mfr.

[ysr_racer]

The trigger on Beretta A300 only has two selections, break a bird & don't break a bird

Nothing swings and points as to me as nice *** my 20 ga superposed belgium browning o/u made in 1951. I bought a lower grade o/u with selective barrels and screw in chokes to shoot steel.

Single trigger, select your barrel.

[bigbearbear]

That simply means even though your O/U shotgun has 2 barrels, it has 1 trigger and it lets you select which barrel shoots first when you pull the trigger. Some O/U shotguns uses the safety level to select which barrel too, they make the safety/selector move forward/backwards for safety and left/right for barrel selection.

I am not a hunter so I can't speak to how well those shotguns will work, but I do shoot a lot of trap and in my opinion, how a gun feels differs from one person to another. You will want to go try out the different shotguns, preferably somewhere they let you shoot, before deciding on it. I went to Grand America for 3 days testing different shotguns before deciding on what I want, you should be able to do this at larger local shooting events such as State shoots too.

"...killing critters with feathers for meat". Cannot be serious. Falconry is not to difficult to check out around the Birds of Prey NCA. It's a dedication equal to or beyond what you give and get back from a dog. Great flick out a year or 2 ago called Eagle Hunters...absolutely unbelievable stuff.

But I concur with the "troll". You've gone from parroting the GOA verbatim to which deer rifle kicks the least, to hunting dogs, wrong shells in shotguns, and now back to shotguns. Maybe join a gun club so you'll have some folks to talk with. I've been with Nampa Rod & Gun club for ~ 15 years...that's where you'll hear about good places to find birds.

It's an individual fit deal and what may fit me perfectly wouldn't work for you.

^Thread. Same fitting a gun belt or a pair of pants.
