[QUOTE="OKCHunter, post: 4327628, member: 8534"] One thing to consider is that a shotgun off the shelf rarely fits a shooter correctly. So “test shooting” may not accomplish much. Most serious skeet and trap shooters make adjustments to the comb and add an adjustable butt plate to fit the gun to them. Many guns come with the adjustable comb but few come with an adjustable butt plate. I personally started with a Browning Citori for skeet and it was a good choice. I had the gun tubed so I could shoot all 4 competition gauges. The inertia trigger spring had to be changed out so the trigger would reset for .410. Some change the triggers to mechanical triggers. Many guys shooting both skeet and trap purchase a second barrel for trap (single barrel with high rib). My recommendation for the serious beginner is a Browning. They are a little expensive but are high quality and will last a lifetime with options for the future. Be careful going down this rabbit hole - you can spend tens of thousands of dollars if you start looking at the Kreighoff or Kolar 😀 [/QUOTE]
