Not sure if it's doable or not.. I want shotgun which I can carry in a woods, do some casual skeet or trap shooting. Do wing shooting. Kind of hunting/sporting.
I'm set on 26-28" O/U just by reading all I can.
Thats why I posted topic: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=765582
My rationale was to have something, go out and see how it works. Then I can get some experience, meet people, see what works, etc. Even knowing what "fits" me will be possible after I have some experience. Correct? I was thinking that buying cheap-er gun I can practice, figure out what I need if I ever need it and move up. I can always sell, and even if I loose couple hundred dollars - no big deal, it's a practice..
On the other hand - I'd like to have nice shotgun. Decent looking, reliable, etc. I can spend closer to $2k on one. Hopefully this money can get me something...
I can't "handle" them all to see if they fit me. Yes, I went to Dick's, handled Beretta, Browning O/U, they have some other brand for $650. Yes, might look not as fancy but to me it feels similar. Again, no experience, I can't tell by holding if "thats it"
I can't buy used cheaper. I don't have time to drive around and see if I can find something. I'd rather pay extra for exact new model online...
So.. The question is. Should I go and buy CZ ultralight and practice with it. Or should I go with better one that will work for sure? I can spend up to $2k new, what O/U for that price might be good?
