| Posted By |  Subject :Good inexpensive shotgun for skeet |
We've got a great place to shoot clay pigeons here, but I don't have a decent shotgun (only a pistol grip Mossberg). A friend brings his Browning autoloader and it's a great shooter but a little spendy. Can anyone recommend a good yet inexpensive autoloading 12-gauge shotgun for skeet? I'm just a plinker and not into competitive shooting.

A pump is fine with me but the recoil was noticably less on the auto-loader. After shooting 100 rounds my shoulder will be bruised and it really doesn't bother me. However, a couple of women have mentioned they'd like to come over and try it and I'll be sharing the gun with them. So recoil is an issue. I don't want to scare 'em off.

Thanks, Mark, great input. I hadn't considered getting two different guns. A smaller model for the women makes good sense.

Boy, you guys know your guns. The 20 gauge small model 870 sounds good for the ladies. If they get serious they can buy their own. Just trying to do my part by taking some liberal women out to shoot. I want to buy guns that will last a long time though. We have a great place to throw clay at the top of a hill adjacent to state forest land. A two minute hike out the back door brings us to a flat area next to a 150 foot drop. Fly a clay here and it will float for 8 seconds. Great for us amateurs!
