What gun for clays and pigeons

KING TUTS RIGHT HAND MAN
Right lads I'm thinking of getting another gun not a semi auto like my last one. I want to be able to use it for clays and pigeons, Question 1 in your opinions what's the best chokes to use ie make of chokes not size. Reading about all these different chokes has given me a headache, so your knowledge and advice will be very appreciated on this question and the following ones. I want to spend around £1200 on a new gun, Question 2 up to now I have looked at.
Beretta 686e sporter
Beretta 686 gold e sporting
Browning synergy pro sport
or even a Beretta UGB25 Xcel semi automatic
Any other ideas most welcome lads oh and no Pabear Mikey I'm not going to sell you it after 6 weeks -Fun1-

Cheers Lads n Lasses *wedon*

If it were me mate i'd spend £900 on a silver pigeon and the other 3oo on some good lessons, you saw my clay shooting yesterday, the lessons wouldn't go a miss, n if the gun fits an old piece of scrap can hit a target just as good as a new stare of the art one! **sgun**

Thats the best advice he's ever given anyone! The fit is everything mate, if it goes straight into your shoulder and you are looking straight down the beeds then it's good.. Then you have got to choose your choke, the other thing is barrel length, I prefere shorter 28' rather than 30' as they are better in a hide, 30' seem to be prefered by the skeet guys !
Hope that this helps Hesky.. I'm no expert but thats what I look for! :)

If you want a gun for sporting clays and by that I mean an all rounder not a trap gun or a skeet gun etc plus something for the odd pigeon day, then a good 30" (better pointability better swing once going) multi choke job will do you if you have the dosh you cant go far wrong with a nice and I mean very nice 682E

Been looking for a 20g today for the wife, a 12 is a bit much for her so I think a 20 will be fine, but she is only 5 foot... :D What do you think of it Bigdev? :huh:

I'm not worried about the price mate, she's getting a second hand single barrel piece of s**t, till I know that she is going to use it! :P
