I've always wanted to get an Over/Under for shooting Trap or Skeet, but the price of some new ones are just plain out of my reach. So I'm thinking of getting a used one and trying that. I was at the Kittery, ME Trading Post and they had close to 100 used Over/Unders. As I started looking them over I realized I was WAY out of my league and that I had not done enough research to make a logical choice. Hence, here I am asking you fine knowledgable folks.
The first thing I noticed is that a lot of the 12 gauge over/unders had fixed chokes that were in the price range I could afford. I don't mind the fixed choke scenario, but there were all kinds of combinations. What fixed choke combination works best for Trap mostly and some Skeet? There were several that had interchangable chokes, but they were priced much higher. Would you just save more and get the interchangable chokes?
Besides the fixed/interchangable choke issue, what else should I examine as known trouble spot for over/unders? Some had extractors, some didn't. Some had one trigger, while others had double triggers.
Lastly, should I just give up the dream of having an over/under and just get a good semi-auto?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Oh and before someone replys that the search is your friend, I tried putting in over under and running a search. It comes back that the words are to common and will not run the search.
