"I'd go for the 42 and have the choke opened up to skeet and have a ball with it. Old friend of mine has a 42 skeet gun, smooth shooting much smoother then my model 12 28 ga." I don't have time to dig out my old manuals / publications, but I think that Winchester "modified" choke and "sheet"...

Does anyone know if the 12ga, 16ga, 20ga and 28ga Model 12s were all built using the same frame? I know that the Model 42 .410 was an altogether different gun, although it was based upon the design of the Model 12. Wikipedia says that during the first couple of years of production, the Model...

Once I purchased my first Winchester Model 12, I kind of stopped looking at any other pumps. I do have to admit that I have long suffered from remorse, for not purchasing a "Matched Pair of 870 Skeet Guns" (28ga & .410), when they were offered to me some years ago.

The first 3200 that I owned was a Competition Skeet w/ tubes. I put close to 10k rounds through that gun before I sent it back to the factory for the updates. To my astonishment, when the gun came back to me, I found that the factory had not only performed the updates but they had also...

Hi, I'm new to the forum I used to shoot a lot of skeet, until most of my friends either migrated over to trap and / or other areas of interest. I did own a nice shooting trap gun, but I just never had as much fun shooting trap as I did shooting skeet. Reflecting back, I think that I enjoyed...
