2 guns or 1 that does it all?

I would definitely buy either the SUPERX-2 or Browning Gold Hunter with 3" chambers. They are almost the same gun; the Browning is a bit prettier.

The 3"' will handle geese, ducks, and turkey just fine, and still shoot light loads for clay birds and upland game. The Browning Gold "Sporting Clays Model" comes with an second extra, lighter, gas cylinder for clay bird loads. The 3 1/2" model doesn't do well with light loads. Besides the 3 1/2" shell is un-necessary.

Chances are you will shoot dozens more 2 3/4" light loads than heavy ones, while shooting trap or clays for practice. You can find the light target loads for only $3 to $4 a box.

I've shot a 12 ga. GH for 4 years and am very pleased with it for an all-around shotgun. I probably have 10,000 shells through it, with no problems. I sometime break 25 straight at skeet with it.

Both the Winchester and Browning currently have $100 cash rebates.

A person that always shoots the same gun is much more likely to be a fine shot. Better to be good with one gun, than mediocre with 2 or 3.
