Since you guys are talking bout what ya HAD.....started skeet with M12 set and a 42 with cutts. Went to a Browning Purbaugh tube set...then 1100's......mini gun (410) was a PITB.....loved the 28ga.Of all of em, the tube set was my favorite.
Only trap gun I ever owned was a M12......shot more skeet than trap...to me, trapshooters took it too serious!!!As stated, sold all this stuff off to feed the pamper habbit...LOL...skeet fields is scarce in Colorado....

Moderation. Moderation. You have to find a balance between pampers and guns, or you have to potty train kids ASAP. LOL

Hey Dan...I do know about them Purbaugh sets. Had a few...Still have a Perazzi with ol Claude's tubes. It still shoots good but the bbls are too short for best shootin 27 5/8" barrels.. I also started shooting a M-12 set with the 42. I shot a 99 with that 42...once. 410 IS a PITA for certain. But a 100 straight in the 410 is better than....SEX. And happens less often.

Fabs Some Italian guns fit just fine... Like the Perazzi. Berettas Nah. None have ever fit right except one a friend had a stock made for. It was a left hand stock and still fit me better than anything Beretta made. Back when Beretta ran PG they even offered me a free gun to use. I actually turned it down. Now I will say that the darn things can take a lot of shootin. A friend shot 250M through one and sent it to Beretta to be gone over. They didn't make it any prettier but when he got it back it was just as tight as new. The really bad thing about Beretta is their service takes forever. The Franchi also fits well...especially for a pigeon gun. It has boat oar wood(plain no figure) on it except it has to be extremely hard wood as it has 30 line to the inch checkering. You really can't put that fine checkering on any wood less'n it is hard. Oh and it do have a fair recoil with the heavy pigeon loads!
