The good-lookin skeet guns are all over-and-under doubles, 12 gauge usually, like the Browning Citori (uh HUHuhuhuhuh) as a bottom-ender (uh HUHUHuhuhuhuh) and the $5K Perazzis as more typical skeeters. However this guy at work? who lives, eats and breathes clay? shoots a dead ordinary Remington pump, model 870. It's a $250 gun brand new. For a few dollars more you can get a Remington 11-87 or whatever their current autoloader is. You need to shoot quick doubles in skeet, and having to work the pump between 'birds is an obsession with this guy but would be a major annoyance to, like, me. So you want an autoloader (now an assault weapon in CA, can you beliiiiiieve it) or a double. And doubles are big money. But the serious shooters with guns that cost like cars - they say the gun is the minor cost of the sport. No, it's the 500 rounds&birds a week that it takes to become good that will cost'cha.
