The 101 is a great gun. Most 101's will fit the shooter pretty well and if you're going to shoot clays they tend to keep the shooter's head up more than a standard field gun like the 870. Using standard field guns from the start can build some bad habits that are hard to break if you decide you want to continue and improve with shooting any type of clays. Trap guns shoot high to POA, sporting clay guns shoot flat or POA, and skeet guns are a mix of the two. If the barrels are at least 28" you could have them bored for choke tubes at a reputable gun smith. You could even have the present barrels re-choked if you like the gun. If the barrels are 26" like a lot of skeet guns were then the gun is pretty limited even if you decide to bore it for chokes. I have seen singles, double, and even un-single barrels for sale for 101's on the major gun auction sites which means you could possibly get another barrel to suit your preferred type. The price seems fair for the gun. My brother has a pristine Diamond grade 101 34" un-single cap gun that is incredible. He had a 101 trap that he gave to my nephew as he bought a new Beretta 682E. He is sorry that he did as he hates the Beretta and doesn't shoot it as well as his old 101. I am prejudice to O/U guns I'll admit. I've shot pumps, autos, SxS, and even old bolt actions w/poly chokes on trap/clays and always come back to the O/U. I also like to shoot with guys who shoot the same. I like seeing a shooter standing there with an open gun when they are behind me on a course. You never know with a pump or auto. Just my two cents.
