Highsider989 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Its not purpose built for trap, but my mossberg 930 JM Pro series does great at trap. Its definitely overkill with 10 shot capacity, but I will use it for clays any chance I get and not expect to suffer any penalty that isn't already incurred by my lack of experience with that particular sport. I've been shooting trap with my 22' jm pro. It works but I just ordered the 28' barrel. I think that will be better. My total investment will be 850. Not bad for a do it all shotty.

edair Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What barrel length is considered best or do the trap models only come in one length, also do they have screw in chokes or fixed chokes for trap ? What barrel length is considered best or do the trap models only come in one length, also do they have screw in chokes or fixed chokes for trap ? I believe 30-32" is best, I prefer 32". Trap guns use screw in tubes mainly with full chokes. 34" barrels are also available but, they're a little slower to swing. would be best. My preference is 32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hello: A Beretta 391 target is pretty hard to beat. I have shot a bunch of different guns and the 391 shoots the softest to me even softer with lighter loads. Get some Briley chokes in LM, Mod and Improved mod. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegunnerd Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I shoot trap and skeet with my dad's old ithaca 37 featherlight . Just throw a limbsaver on that guy.....ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naka16 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I shoot 1100s in 12 and 20. With the 20 std weight(its a 1973 model built on the 12 ga receiver) shooting from the 16 yd line is no problem. They can be found for around $500 but a lot of parts are obsolete and barrels are very scarce. Good beginner gun with very little recoil so its comfortable to shoot all day. The 12 sporting that I have is nice, but nib price is over $1000. There are used 1100 12 gauges on the auction sites going for around $400-500. The only downside is that they usually have fixed chokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateStaskiewicz Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Browning XT works great and because it has two barrels you can also shoot skeet if you ever wanted to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naka16 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Recently bought a 30" 1100 12ga barrel from cabelas. It's the one with the 3 flush rem chokes and not the steel barrel nor the trap barrel. I found that this works perfectly with winchester super x 1 1/8 loads at 1255 fps and almost anything else. It doesn't throw the hulls very far, won't even get clots to the next shooter. Love the 1100's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The Beretta 390-391 semis are better built and will last longer than the Remys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash74 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Frankly, I think that is an awfully ignorant statement. The longevity of the 1100 speaks for itself. Not many auto loaders have stood the test of time like the 1100 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mstevens72 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 If it is only going to be for singles the bt99 can not be beaten for what you can get them for , good used price. .. in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastlane604 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Beretta 391 with the parallel target stock. Extremely reliable guns without o rings to worry about. PT stock gets your point of impact up high enough to handle rising targets, well. If you want to spend a little more have the stock cut to make the comb adjustable. With the adjustable comb you can fit the gun to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymuller Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) A trap gun designed primarily for clay shooting. A good choice for new shooters or someone in need of an all round second gun. Edited February 27, 2017 by jimmymuller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hostetter Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I started out with Remington 1100, went to a Remington 3200, then a Winchester 101. Ran a K80 for a long time, loved it. Currently using a Browning XL Ultra, very happy with it. Whatever you end up with, pay someone who knows what they are doing to fit the stock, it makes a big difference.

OrondoShooter Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 870 will work just fine for you. Pro tip: always use the same loads, no matter the range or occasion, different shells will hit different POI and follow through will be different when you switch em up.

BigGabe Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Like others said an 870 or 1100. 28" barrel 870 Express with choke tubes would be my choice. That would be fine for just having fun with buddies. BT99 if you want to get more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
