I generally shoot my Beretta 690 III field gun with 28” barrels for sporting clays and hunting. While the auto safety of a field gun is a downside for target shooting, I like having the consistency of having the same gun for practice and field.
You’re right , it’s all down to personal preference , I shoot clays with a Benelli 828U Silver 30inch with 1/4 and 3/4 extended chokes . It’s a very light gun but it works for me . Took me a Miroku MK38 , a Webley and Scott 951 sport and Hatsan semi auto before I found the right gun . Should I have gone to a shooting school and saved a few £s , yes that would have been a wiser decision rather than using my gut instinct or direction from my local gun shop . You live and learn 😁👍
I rarely shoot clays, however, as a sporting lay out replicates the flight of quarry birds and some of the stands are referred to as such, The springing teal, high pheasant, the wood cock, bolting rabbit, it makes sense that a game gun is perfectly suitable. When I shoot clays I treat it as a preseason warm up, so I never call a clay with my gun in my shoulder. I shoot ever clay as a game target, to ensure a good gun mount to the shoulder.
I’ve been able to successfully hunt almost every type of game bird here in TX and other neighboring states. My trusty go-to is a 1st gen Beretta 3.5 Xtrema w/ a 26” barrel. It works for everything but the balance is noticeably front heavy due to the mechanism. Shopped for the last 10 yrs for an O/U that might fit my 6’4” height and I finally settled just this year on a 30” Belgium made Winchester 101 Sporter which I’ve already taken birds with. The balance, lighter weight is a welcome change even with the 4” longer barrels (I know, semi auto vs…). Can’t wait to take her to a clay course!
I shoot American skeet - roughly 20,000 targets a year - practice and competition. My skeet gun is a Krieghoff K80, 30 inch barrels, with a Briley tube set for the sub gauges. The gun weighs approximately 9 1/2 pounds with tubes. My gun has an adjustable comb, with an aftermarket adjustable butt plate. These features are very useful to make sure the gun fits me properly - every time I mount it. Further, my K80 has a parallel comb - unlike field guns, which have some drop in the stock. For bird hunting, I use one of two guns - either an early 70's vintage Browning Superposed, 26 inch barrels, choked skeet and skeet, or a Krieghoff K20 Parcours, 30 inch barrels, with Bailey thin wall chokes. The Browning is terrific for quail - the relatively light weight and the "quickness" of the gun work well for this sport. The K20 is better for wing shooting - mourning doves, etc. - the ability to select somewhat tighter chokes is an advantage. Skeet scores in the U.S improved significantly with the widespread adoption of sub gauge tubes - and the corresponding increase in gun weight. A heavier gun is not only better with regard to recoil, but (once you are accustomed to the feel of the gun) it is very helpful in facilitating a nice, smooth move on the target, and a good follow through. After years of shooting my K80, if I take one of my field guns to the skeet field it feels like I have a kid's air rifle in my hands - the gun is too "pointy".
If a gun fits you well and you are consistent, doesn't matter what it says on it, my go to gun is a 1970s miroku 700 game, and i wouldn't trade it for any new sporter that i have tried, people get too caught up in what brands and models olympic level shooters use, sales patterns for them to make you think you need both
We are all talking about different guns and the preference we have, at what point should we consider POI ? A 50/50 vs 60/40 vs 70/30 and so on….A purpose built 80/20 trap gun is not a good field gun. A 50/50 field gun could double as a good sheet gun or 5 stand. Point is that there is more to consider then just weight or appearance.
Yes, I agree there is more to picking the right shotgun. My Citori CX has 60/40 POI which works fine for me when shooting American Trap but then I switched to American Skeet and needed to buy new Midas skeet choke tubes. I am still learning something new everyday.
@@trap_skeet_clays_2867 I am also in the USA, I have the CXS. Very good field and skeet gun and reasonable gun for the other clay games except trap. Going away and rising clay prefers a higher POI. The BT 99 fit that need with an 80/20 POI. This all being said I’m sure some folks are awesome at everything with whatever gun they use. ;-)
* There should not be much of a difference between the two, except that the clay target gun should be heavier to help mitigate the recoil from shooting many targets in a shorter time frame. A single trigger and a longer barrel can be advantageous for the target shooter. A broader rib can also be beneficial to the target shooter depending on shooting style or what type of clay target discipline is being pursued, ie. trap shooting,etc. As far as screw in chokes and adjustable stocks are concerned, these are important to have on any shotgun. The stock must fit the shooter whether it be by a custom stock fitting or an adjustable factory stock. The double triggers on a game gun is an advantage over the single trigger, due to the unexpected distances that a game bird will present itself to the hunter. Wooing the crowd at your local gun club with a nice looking gun maybe important to some, but in the end it's all about your ability to break a target. In the field, there's not to many people looking, many times it's just you and the birds.
I shoot a modern Winchester 101 game gun with 28" barrel. I have a longer heavier Browning cynergy also but prefer a lighter gun because I grew up shooting single-shot shotguns for hunting.
We shoot American Skeet with a Browning Citori CX 12g 30” or a Browning Citori CXT Micro 12g 28”. The CX & CXT are designed as cross over guns for American Skeet, American Trap or American Sporting Clays. I believe the CXT is really designed for American Trap with its heavier Monte Carlo stock and beaver tail forearm. I just want to have a fun day of shooting with my family and break clays at our club. Greetings from Naples, Florida, USA! P.S. We shotgun clays only not game. The Winchester 101 is also a great gun around USA $1,100. I shoot American Trap with a Remington 3200 with 30” barrels.
I started with a clay gun and then moved to hammer guns before recently upgrading (or rather going from 19th to 20th century) to a best London SxS. The only time I've wanted an o/u since then has been on flurry days when the difference in forend design becomes a burning issue. Then again, I do this for the enjoyment rather than the score, my shooting style (and temperament) are not suited for competition. Gun fit and a couple of lessons will have more impact on your score than barrel orientation or "type" of gun.
I have a Browning 425 sporter & use it for both game and clays. All I needed to do was to fit it for my trigger pull with some stock recoil pad spacers, works fine
I have used s/s on clay completion days, and o/u sport guns on game days. I use the gun I want to use on the day. Granted on walked up days I will use the s/s as lighter, and if double gunning will use a sports gun due to the number of cartridges I will be putting through them. I am lucky though to have a wide range of guns in my cabinet.
I bought a 12g 28” barrelled Lanber field from you guys about 12 year’s ago. I mainly shoot clays with it now. It fits me beautifully and has never let me down. I absolutely love it. Many thanks Doug. I’ve tried a dedicated clay gun and it made no difference to my shooting ability on sporting clays.
I’ve got two shotguns. A Browning B2000 semi auto and a Remington 1100 semi auto. I have two barrels for the Browning, 30 and 32 inches, fixed full choke. My Remington 1100 is the skeet model with a 25-26 inch barrel and a fixed skeet choke. The Browning is more of a hunting gun for me, although I shoot a fair amount of trap singles with it. The Remington I bought specifically for skeet, trap doubles, and sporting clays. I don’t have too much preference either way because the Browning is kinda limited. My barrels are set up for 3 inch shells and won’t eject 2 3/4 inch shells. I use whichever works best for what I’m shooting. The Browning is better for ducks, but it’s pretty good for trap.
Actually I only shoot my field guns at clays now. I shoot with a group of gentlemen who shoot classic doubles mostly, I shoot my Purdey or Boss all the time. In fact I heard the first Sporting Clays Championship here in the U.S. was won by a guy shooting a Browning A5
Mostly shoot clay with my DT10, my biggest annoyance when using field guns on clays is that half the time I forget to disengage the auto safety. Just heard that I can remove that feature on field guns.
I shoot a Browning BPS Trap Model & an Ithaca Model 4e Trap Model made in 1918 at the trap range. I bring my field guns (Browning BPS Hunter Model & a Browning B-80) to the trap range prior to waterfowl season only to make sure they functioning properly. I have patterned all of my shotguns and shoot all of them equally well. BTW, the last time I had my Browning Double Automatic (field gun) to the trap range I ran 25 straight with it. I make a point of keeping a small notebook in my range bag to remind myself how all my shotguns pattern.
I am in the market for a new gun, I think I will go for a game gun. Whilst most of my cartridges will be on clays, it is all aimed as practise for game shooting, rather than clay shooting as an end in itself (although it is a good crack)
I'm just starting out at clays, and didn't wan't to spend a fortune, so I got an old 300 quid Varani Zanano game gun, with minimal vents, 70cm barrels and fixed1*/3* chokes. My instructor keeps passing me his big five-grand Beretta trap gun, but I actually prefer my old party-popper; It's got lovely engraving and woodwork, feels light and quick into the shoulder and it has a lovely 'click' when I break it (the Beretta just 'clunks'). I genuinely prefer shooting it, and I'm no less terrible hitting clays with it. It's fun, I love holding it and I can use the cash I've saved for other stuff (like a nice holiday to keep the 'missus' happy); Tell me I'm wrong!
You’re not wrong mate. I went claying for the first time just the other day with a 1970,s miroku field gun that was given to me. They all laughed and said I wouldn’t hit shit with it. I shot 22 out of 25 first go. Needless to say all the old blokes wanted to check the old girl out after that. I’m sticking with it and you should too.👍
Clay shooter are now using longer and longer barrels so that we now see 32-inch barrels on the range. Game guns tend to be of the shorter kind, 26, 28-inch.
In the majority of cases folks who shoot both will opt for a clay shooting gun for game especially when shooting selectively better birds.Budget is also a consideration plus many like to shoot one gun.Tend to find designated game shooters rarely shoot clays.Even then the high bird shooters will shoot ''sporting'' guns.
Great one, my wife is around 5,2” and doesn’t like the big heavy gun with long barrel for sporting clay, so she asked me to buy a 26” silver pigeon 1 in 20ga.
shoot mainly game/field guns just tend to fit me batter doesn't matter if its clays or game will generally be either Winchester field select 12g or browning 525 game 20 bore. I also have a Beretta 682 gold e I shoot very occasionally
my 12 is a Browning Sporting Clays from the late 90's that works great for both sporting and clays. I also have a 16 ga. that is 6.5 lbs that I shot for sporting and clays but it works best in the field..... I need to find a sxs that shoots like an over and under
Been game shooting for years with a 28" side /side and now fancy having a go at sporting Never had a o/u before so my ideal gun would ( apart from the fitting point ) would be a o/u that shoots like a side/side ?
Thanks for your nice comment if you would like to chat to David about this please call him on 01844 238 308 he will be happy to help you on this. Thanks TSC team.
I’ve got a g1 525 sportier bad a game gun 525 shadow….both Brownings are exactly the same dimensions ie high of comb,cast,fore end etc only difference is the weight
I guess it depends on the gun. 525's there doesn't seem much different in the weight (in the steel actions). Personally I prefer the single front bead on the Browning Game guns.
Is it acceptable to go on a game shot with a modern sporter with external chokes and in my case a beretta 690 black with orange decal. I’ve not done a game shoot and was thinking taking my 686E, the older version if I had the chance.
I shoot mostly clays but I have outfitted a game gun for my use. I use a browning superlight feather with custom order 28" tubes, and a pachmayer recoil pad instead of the stock butt plate. I'm looking to get a set of teague super extended chokes and then re-balancing the gun but I'm waffling between the steel or titanium ones. Anyone have an opinion on which would be right for my setup?
Talk about giving americans the wrong impression about us hunters in Britain. 90% of hunters do not dress up like sherlock Holmes and quaff brandy all day! 😂
Occasionally you can get leaves, twigs, etc stuck in a ventilated rib while out on a game shoot. You’re not likely to shoot as many cartridges in rapid succession while on a game shoot either, so there’s not really any danger of the barrels overheating
@@genghishank1 thanks for your reply, I can honestly say in 35 years of both game and clay I've never had a leaf or twig stuck in my barrels that may cause a significant problem either have I had barrels that have over heated. It does lead me on too another question of weight though. Lighter gun for game as stated in the video (solid rib and barrels) ?
@@philbalf3363 don’t get me wrong, I’ve never had those issues either. I have heard others claim these same reasons though. IMO, I think the differences between game and clay guns are mostly overstated by gun manufacturers to try and pressure you to buy two guns instead of one.
You can also drive from London to Paris in a Skoda and a Jaguar. But I can tell you that you’ll be more comfortable, feel less tired, enjoy the motorways more, and feel more stylish in the Jag. A bit of snobbery? Yes. Will a Skoda get the job done? Yes. Is the Jaguar just better? Yes! You can’t claim it will be the same experience for both. It’s the same for firearms. Yes my less expensive Savage will knock down game just as my classic Model 77L will. But the later is just a better shooting experience period. It groups just a bit better, it has beautiful wood and the blueing lovely, its weight just sucks up the recoil so nicely, and it just looks like a classic.

Barrel length?
I figure if you are training with it by shooting clays, then it would be the gun to shoot game with it.

Why do clay guns have vented rib and barrels and game guns not?
Occasionally you can get leaves, twigs, etc stuck in a ventilated rib while out on a game shoot. You’re not likely to shoot as many cartridges in rapid succession while on a game shoot either, so there’s not really any danger of the barrels overheating
One reason is that it helps to cool the barrels since clay guns shoot a lot more rounds and the barrels get hotter.
@@genghishank1 thanks for your reply, I can honestly say in 35 years of both game and clay I've never had a leaf or twig stuck in my barrels that may cause a significant problem either have I had barrels that have over heated. It does lead me on too another question of weight though. Lighter gun for game as stated in the video (solid rib and barrels) ?
@@philbalf3363 don’t get me wrong, I’ve never had those issues either. I have heard others claim these same reasons though.
IMO, I think the differences between game and clay guns are mostly overstated by gun manufacturers to try and pressure you to buy two guns instead of one.
Thanks for your comment if you give The Oxford Gun Company a call on 01844 238 308 they will discus this with you on the phone. Thanks The TSC Team.
You can hit clays and game with the same cheap gun. It’s all snobbery and rubbish.
You can also drive from London to Paris in a Skoda and a Jaguar. But I can tell you that you’ll be more comfortable, feel less tired, enjoy the motorways more, and feel more stylish in the Jag. A bit of snobbery? Yes. Will a Skoda get the job done? Yes. Is the Jaguar just better? Yes! You can’t claim it will be the same experience for both. It’s the same for firearms. Yes my less expensive Savage will knock down game just as my classic Model 77L will. But the later is just a better shooting experience period. It groups just a bit better, it has beautiful wood and the blueing lovely, its weight just sucks up the recoil so nicely, and it just looks like a classic.
This is why they lost the war.
