Note, please, please do not suggest that I buy a Stoeger or EAA and use the rest on ammo unless they really can, out-of-box, outperform whatever Franchetta Italiana Moneygrabbia there is out there. Also, I would far, FAR rather have a new gun than a used one, but if a used one will definitely perform better, then...
I am, of course, aware that the best way to find a good gun is to see what fits. However, that can be impossible when your local stores do not have a good selection. That being said, what is the best O/U shotgun for definite clays usage (Trap, wobble trap, skeet, 5 stand, sporting clays) and potential upland hunting usage? I'm thinking probably Beretta 686 White Onyx with 30"bbl... good choice or bad? I'm a large person, but Beretta stocks have fit me well in the past. Oh, and a rubber recoil pad would be nice; hard plastic plates and my shoulder do not a happy combination make.
