Brian, I find that a 100 year old SxS 12 Ga costing around $150-200 can break
every bird on the field with great alacrity.

I may be visiting the skeet field to test out my new gun if the match ends
early enough....unfortunately with my USPSA gear and the scoring gear I can
only bring one shotty along. If the weather doesn't suck too bad Sunday
morning I could bring both OU for comparison purposes.

Ok, good. I’ll bring my Browning Citori White Lightning. It’s slightly
cheaper if you don’t want the white receiver – a very nice heat treated blued
steel.
Who else (Peter?) can bring a few O/U’s for Brian to heft?

Brian – Are you going to be at the indoor match tomorrow? Perhaps some of us
can bring our O/U’s and you can see which make fits you best.

28” is the length I am ‘shooting’ for. Lol.

One more point, Brian. I'd suggest 28 inch barrels as the best compromise to
shoot everything afield and arange.

You don’t need another shotgun... you do, however, deserve a tank!

If it were a pistol, Cajun Gun Works would like to have a word with you :-).
But I have no knowledge to pull upon for CZ shotguns.

For one, it is probably much easier to get parts for a Browning than a
CZ import.

I’m not what you would call a shotgun guy (yet), but I’ve shot skeet a little
bit this year (literally starting Jan 1), and I really enjoy it - been
getting better and better every round - with a lot of help from many of the
folks here.
Question One: That said, I am looking for an over/under shotgun that is a bit
versatile, meaning I’d like to use it for skeet/trap/clays as well as bird
hunting. Am I asking too much for one gun?
Question Two: There are too many options out there, so I suppose my question
comes to cost vs quality… As a newbie to the sport & hunting, what sets a $1k
CZ O/U apart from a $2-3k Browning?
All advice is appreciated.
Brian
