I will be shooting sporting clays. I was hoping I could use the Beretta 390 semi-auto. From what I have read on FR, this gun got pretty good reviews. But, if I would be better off with an over/under, I better start saving my pennies. Any recommendations?
The 390 would be a great gun for sporting clays. Very soft shooting. Reasonable price to start out in also. I use a Remington 1100, when I shoot sporting clays (about once a year). Semi-auto's are very popular.
If that is what you can afford right now, then that's the way to go. Keep it clean, and it will serve you well. Later on, when you are a champion, and win lots of money, you can get the over/under. :)
