Beautiful gun. Very similar to my Citori White Lightning except mine has a
rounded grip.

Too late… However, the Clay Pigeon Preservation Society will continue on.
Picked up a Browning Citori 725 field today. Tried a few other models &
manufacturers, this felt the best shouldered & the action felt better than many
of the others.
Only thing I did not like about it was the front bead, but that is easy enough
to remedy.

No problem. Stick with Peter and go to the shotgun fields some Sunday morning.
You'll see a bunch of OU there and get lots of free advice.

Ugh, I completely forgot to find you after the match - I think food & beer was
weighing too heavily on my mind.

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?

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!

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.
