Default Recommend Me A Trap/Skeet/Sporting Clay Shotgun

Hey guys,

I'm looking at picking up a 12 gauge shotgun specifically for Trap/Skeet/Sporting Clays.

My budget is about $1800

What do you guys recommend? I already have a Benelli Super Black Eagle II for my hunting needs.

I'm mainly looking for a few specific guns to look at next time I head to the local gun shop.

Thanks!

It sort of depends on what sort of skeet shooting you want to do. Do you want to compete or just do it for fun? Are you thinking about an over/under, pump, or auto?

I've always thought I would own at skeet shooting with a Saiga 12.

I've never seen any actual benefit to using a more expensive pump.
