My o/u looked good when i bought itPrettier?
Trying to figure this out myself.
A buddy wants me to join in the fun of trap shooting and I figure I need a o/u because the cool kids don't spray emptys out a simi auto.

Yeah I have? Idk I dont see any difference between a 636 silver pigeon and my yildizI am a staunch believer in only shooting good looking guns, I prefer my women and cars the same. I won't be the best but I will be the best looking shooter on the line.
The money guns cost more because fit and finish tend to better, better triggers, better barrels lots of "betters" involved.
If your someone who shoots occasionally you probably won't need more than a Yildiz or CZ.
Don't overthink it buy what works for you but handle some of the money guns and you'll see the differences.
The silver pigeon is a not high end shotgun that's a lower end gun for us plebes. If you compared to a say a DT11 or even a 694 you'll see the difference. Compare it to a Zoli you be amazed.Yeah I have? Idk I dont see any difference between a 636 silver pigeon and my yildiz
I use it for upland game and sporting clays
last time on clays i shot 85 of 100( f***ing rabbit clays every time) today i nailed 2 pheasants...idk i dont miss with it lol
Do you hunt?The silver pigeon is a not high end shotgun that's a lower end gun for us plebes. If you compared to a say a DT11 or even a 694 you'll see the difference. Compare it to a Zoli you be amazed.
It's not the gun it's the shooter.For years I was shooting trap with a Mossberg Silver Reserve II that worked very well for me. Many people said it was a crap gun but it worked well for me. Some years later I bought a Browning O/U at a gun store sale. It’s a great shotgun but it doesn’t shoot any better then the much cheaper Mossberg did. So I guess expensive doesn’t mean better.
No, clay shooter mostly skeet.Do you hunt?
GotchaNo, clay shooter mostly skeet.
Personally most shooters have different shotguns for different sports which means lots of shotguns.so I think a 26" or 28" is great for hunting birds but skeet I find 30" and 32" for trap. Everything is gauge dependent as well. They say 28gauge is better with 32" barrels it's personal.Gotcha
Idk i have a thing about beating on a gun that's 2 or 3 mortgage payments
If i was just shooting clays i would probably feel differently
I literally got back from phesants today and thats why i posted this lmaoI just got back from hunting upland in Maine. While dragging my Mossberg through the woods I kept thinking to myself…would I want to do this with a really high end shotgun?
Can you please pass the grey pupon?serious trap and skeet shooters put thousands of rounds per year through their shotguns. Doubt you would get that from durability from a cheap o/u. If you are not shooting a ton of clays, you should be fine... maybe...
you can look good and suck at the same timeCan anyone explain why i need to drop thousands on a high end o/u
I have a sub 500 yildiz o/u i love I'm just curious
Some of the nicer shotguns are the cost of a decent house in many parts of the country.Gotcha

f*** all that stuff just buy an A400 Extreme or two and be done with it. I am puzzled why people are infatuated with guns that beat the shit out of them, unless you're a competerive trapezoid guy in which case you'd not have started this thread.Can anyone explain why i need to drop thousands on a high end o/u
I have a sub 500 yildiz o/u i love I'm just curious what an expensive one does better
