Heat Report post Posted December 24, 2020 Was going to mention SKB. When our son was shooting trap we looked very closely at those. Great advice to buy a used field grade American, Italian, or Japanese gun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trophyseeker Report post Posted December 24, 2020 I'm a 20 ga. fan, as well. All of the ones I've owned have been either pumps or semi-autos, though. The only OU I've had was a Belgium 12 ga. Browning Superposed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
