A lot of guys I know use the cheap khan O/Us for sporting clays. They cost about $300-400 depending if you get them on sale or not. They shoot the heck out of them and don't have any problems, the only drawback, if it really is one, is that they don't have ejectors. I'm probably going to buy one later this year to replace myBPS as my sporting clays gun, as fast as I am with a pump, an O/U will stillalwayshold an advantage. The Rugers and Browning might be better guns, but spending an extra $1000-1500 on one won't buy you any more broken birds.
