Citoris

[foxtrotuniformlima]

The lower cost o/u guns are not made to take the wear & tear of high volume shooting.

If you are an occasional shooter, say less than 10 rounds of trap a year, any gun will do.

Wait…what?

Cheap guns are cheap guns. The Citori will last you forever and when you're done with it, someone else can try to wear it out.

True on the Citori... It will last. But who knows if that's the right gun?

Another way to go is to rent a gun when you go to the range. Its not expensive to do that. It may cost 20. You get to shoot different guns and will meet people and learn.

After a few times shooting different guns and playing different games, it might help clear up the question of which gun to buy.

I don't imagine why anyone shooting 6-8 times a year would need to invest in an expensive gun. But you never know how much you will shoot until you actually start shooting.

If you are a Noob on a budget, get a pump. Remington 870 TB (trap gun) can be had for $500, TC for more or field grade for less. Don't get an Express, make sure it's a Wingmaster. Or get a Win Model 12 trap gun, lots of them out there. If yo just want to shoot trap singles, look for a Browning BT-99 or 100.

I’ve heard those are not easy to find.

OMG

Especially nowadays, when anyone might have one!

Good advice to rent before buying. I hired an instructor and rented a Browning and a Beretta. I wanted a Browning, but the Beretta fit better. I could tell it fit better and the instructor confirmed it. I ordered a Beretta later that afternoon.

Congrats!

A beretta is a fine gun. I am sure you will enjoy it

It might be your first of many.

I’ve started two years ago and last week I bought my 5th! I seriously need to stop ��

[k1dude]

I'd diddle with that trigger.

[Sutcliffe]

Sure caught my attention as well

Boy did I read that wrong.

Need new glasses, apparently.

You and me both.

Buy a Citori! Then you can't blame the gun. The CX or CXT is more designed for Trap. I would avoid the hunting and CXS versions if you only plan to do trap. If you are short, get the youth version. If you are tall, plan on getting a larger butt pad.

[TKM]

It's a myth.

[electric7]

Oh yeah, only buy a 725 if you are a high roller with extra cash to buy excessively priced shotguns!
