Hi all,
I'm considering purchasing a new semi-auto for shooting skeet. Right now, I just use an 870. I'm not looking to spend more than a grand on a new gun since I don't have the time to devote the sport to be really serious (even though I wish I could).
I was thinking the new Remington 1100 G3 may be a good choice since it has all the improvements of the 1100 competition, but the shorter 28" barrel (which I prefer). I tried a friend's 1100 (non-G3) and I liked how it felt.
Also, I've already tried the Beretta Urika Sporting, and that series of guns does shoot well, but they just don't feel natural to me. The 1100's feel a lot better. I'm not eliminating the Beretta's completely, though, but let's keep this thread on the G3.
I'm also trying to decide between 12 and 20 gauge. Does the combination of a lighter 20 gauge gun with the lighter 20 gauge ammo still feel like the kick of a 12 gauge? I kind of have a hankering for a 20 gauge.
What is your experience with the new G3? I welcome all useful, on-topic feedback. Thanks.
