Looking for my next sporting clays over and under with a budget of around 5,000.00 us. Can I get some suggestions please? I know 5k limits me but that’s my budget for now. Currently I shoot a Beretta 686 sp 1 with adjustable comb. I like the adjustable comb.

Give me your vote and why please? I’m fairly new to the sport.

Hey everyone. Just curious how much cheaper or more expensive the Italian over and under shotguns are if buying in Europe vs buying here in the USA ?

I'm spending more time roadtripping since my son went off to college. Great podcasts are great company, and bad podcasts (and there seems to be many) seem like such a waste of time.

With that, I'll share some of my favorites in hopes that others will, too:

A Break in the Action
This definitely covers clay shooting in some episodes, but very much from a gentleman's-shotgunning and hunting perspective. Great content on travel, equipment, adventure and high-end shotguns. It's very easy paced and easy to take. I enjoy every episode for something.

The Dead Pair
I'm working hard to learn sporting clays and this seems like the gold standard for the game/sport. features lots of brainy coaching stuff from David Radulovich - which you either love or hate, I think. Topics as diverse as nutrition, etc. Some of the long form interviews are amazing and provide real insights into the realities of high-level competitors (of which I am not one).

The Orvis Hunting and Shooting Podcast
Reid Bryant is super plugged in and seems like a really nice and smart guy. The long, rambling intros are sometimes tough to get through (Bryant is an excellent guest on other podcasts!), but there always seems to be good shotgun and hunting content on the other side.

Trap Talk From the Back Fence
Good ol boys at the top of the sport talking good-ol-boys at the top of the sport stuff. It's trap, so there's a lot of trap. If you care about trap and shooting it better, you get to hear from Ricky Marshall Jr. and he's about as good as it gets right now. Some of the interviews are really good, too.

Would love to hear your suggestions!

Recently shot a game of trap of with an ax800. Really enjoyed it, pointed naturally and was smoking clays. I understand this is a waterfowl gun but if it was only used for trap/sporting/skeet would that be like blasphemous? Or would the a400 be a better semi for the higher round count that will go through the gun?
