RE: auto vs. over and under
Heh, Snipe is prolly referring to me. In my defence, I had the priviledge to experiement with many types of shotguns in my youth. The person who I shot skeet with had great many guns, I would say 50+ (we found full sets of Sako rifles - all calibers, rem 1100s - all gauges, mec grabbers - all gauges, all unused, at his various friends houses when he passed away. He came from a wealthy family)
That being said, I've tried pumps, which was okay, autos, didn't sit well with me - keep trying to cycle it like a pump. I've tried SxS, and couldn't hit anything, even in 12 ga. But with an O/U, I could hit 20/25 using a 410 ga. full/full (mod?) choke consistantly. We went thru cases and cases of shotshells.
