Re: Semi-Autos vs.Double bbls.

I have two Beretta 391s that I use on occassion.

Every once in awhile a local club will throw a 500-bird marathon event for American Trap....I simply switch to a trap barrel and trap stock and go shoot....no strain on the shoulder. I will also use the same gun with a different barrel and stock for the infrequent waterfowl hunting I get to do...again the absence of pounding recoil and the requirement to shoot steel shot make it a prudent choice over one of my others.

I also have a 20ga 391 Sporting Clays model that I use for dove hunting. It has a 30" barrel and is very smooth swinging. I normally put in the full or improved modified choke and shoot only the high ones leaving the ones in closer range to the youngsters.

These two are also my "loaner" guns when someone is visiting and wants to shoot or someone has a broken gun. I have enough stocks, etc to fit almost anyone and I don't need to worry about them.

Almost everything else is handled by either my 16ga Model 21 or my two primary O/U's --- a K-80 and a MX-8.
