Keep up the wonderful work! You can always write Roland to get his thoughts, which may be different and more informed than mine. Is it ideal? My advice to you is to shoot the as you learn the game. We tend to spend a lot of time talking about guns and shells because those are something we can buy while sitting at a desk. I think that they are made by I.
They are a decent medium quality gun with plenty of glitz on the outside. If you are serious about skeet, make sure to join the NSSA and go to a couple of the larger registered shoots. You will quickly find out what is popular among the good shooters.
If you get into skeet, you will find that it is a four gauge game. You might consider shooting light one ounce loads at skeet. Recoil may not bother you now, but it is cumulative. Trust the Technoid on that one. Compare that to what you are now paying for shells. After I got it my scores jumped Y percent. Maybe no. When you are starting out, you normally shoot better with each new gun you buy.
Of course each new gun comes to you after you have been shooting a longer and longer time in the sport. I think that, initially at least, the time you spend in the sport is more important than the gun you shoot. This assumes that you are using a gun that is moderately appropriate to begin with. Your certainly fills that bill. Remember too, as you shoot more your shooting style will change. This happens a lot more than you think. It certainly happened to me. I started out with low stocked target guns and thought that they were just the ticket when I was a newbie.
It took me five years to move to the high stocked target guns that I prefer today, thirty years later. I do pay a great deal of attention to setting up the guns that I shoot. That takes time. And observation. And money invested in practice, competitions, airfare and motels. Exactly the right gun, with the right fit, balance and ballistics, will help the seasoned shooter find the extra bird or two he needs to win the match. One bird means the world when you are in a top class. Consider taking lessons from an established coach.
Even though they seem expensive, they are a lot cheaper than trying to learn by practicing your mistakes over and over. Never in doubt. My friends had s. I never got used to the gassers. Something about the sound distracted me. Several years later, I shot competition in the Navy and used an Nobody ran in any gauge that day. Like Like. Just used an skeet last night and ran a 25 straight. I do know I want a shotgun for HD The Mossberg and Remington seem to be the go-to standards and I can't go wrong with either.
Since the doesn't seem to be that much more, I figured the was a slightly safer bet. I'll have to see what the cost difference is between the two though when I account for the different barrels. Thanks for pointing that out.
I'm not if I'd need the extended magazine. I'd venture to say probably not unless it's useful for skeet shooting? Good to know about the newer models I'll keep that in mind. I own both Mossbergs and Remingtons. For the money, it's hard to beat a combo kit. Just make sure you get one with removable chokes!!!!!! Of course, instead of just listening to people on the internet, go to a range, rent a couple different shotguns and see how they work for you. If you're in my area, I can either point you to a range to rent guns or meet you somewhere and bring some of mine.
I am a NRA certified shotgun instructor too. So, if you want a basic lesson or two, we could arrange that. I think you'll do great with the remington or mossberg.
The rem express was my first gun and I still love that thing. My brother rocks the Mossy combo and has nothin but good to say. I Have the I think it is a Great tool.
Had some probs early on with failure to extract but polished the chamber and no probs thereafter. Busting clays is a great way to get comfortable with your shotgun, which you'll want to do in case of HD scenario. Some of the wealthy old timers at the range kinda turned there noses up a me and my cheap pump gun, but they settled down when my hit count began to exceed theirs.
Definitely take up any offers to shoot with friendly, experienced shooters- best way to develop the right habits from the start. You'll find a lot of folks are pleased to help out a newbie.
Instruction is good, too. NRA classes have added a lot to my skill set, and have given me the opportunity to make friends with some great gunners. Best of luck and welcome to the club. Like Grandpa says, "A man with a shotgun never starves. Where about are you located? I'm pretty close to the LAX airport and if you're in the area I may take you up on that lesson or two.
Each shotgun has their strengths and weaknesses. Remington is a great shotgun for modifications if you are planning any type of magazine extension. Reason for that is that even though Remington may have made it harder to install aftermarket mag extensions, it is still possible with much less headache than with a mossberg.
The reason for that is that unlike the Remington, the Mossberg barrels mount to the shotgun using a mounting lug which is silver soldered to the barrel. This is the limiting factor to the mag extensions as Mossberg only makes two 20" BBL and one 28" vent rib bbl for their extended 8 shot models.
The gun comes with a 20 inch BBL which comes with choke tubes. That is a really rare occurrence in today's shotgun market. Choke tubes effect pattern size more than a longer barrel so it will bring a lot more versatility to your hd gun. If you aren't set on a pump, I'd also take a look at the CZ Utility. That shotgun can be used for pretty much anything. Just bought the Remington Express with the same idea.
Honestly, if you buy the Rem or Mossberg combo, you can't go wrong either. I would just start there Just get a spare barrel, if you get a 28" barrel , get a 18" or vice versa. Get the trigger pull down to 3 - 4 lbs.
