To reiterate the sound advice of others, go to the range and rent/borrow any/all guns that meet your criteria. Try them each and see which feels the best and go with it. Its easy to find brand bashers for each model and the forums are full of threads on why x is a horrible worthless POS or...
BAD--even worse with mtn and road bikes, its the same condition x2.
By the time I have enough time and money for all the hobbies and stuff, I'll be too old to enjoy them.
Going from a pump to a semi has been a big difference in recoil, not during the actual trigger pull but later. I...
:) I have SAD, BAD and a different CAD (Camera Addiction Disease). Kids and coming college tuition have put most of these in remission.
FWIW and to add to the OP's query, I have a new A300 Outlander and am very happy with it. Much softer shooter than my old Mossberg 500 and no issues to...
There are several ways to proceed. As mentioned, search the forums, there are lots of threads on the subject including a few recent ones. If a semi-auto is what you are after, you should consider whether you would be better served with an inertia system or gas. From that point, try several on...
Being in healthcare but never having seen one in person, I was professionally curious. My wife didn't view her C-Section as a CE moment for me and wouldn't let me watch. Been in the OR for 2 now and haven't seen either.
Came home from work tonight thinking either the A300 or Franchi. The Franchi seemes to fit slightly better out of box but I think with a slight drop adjustment the Beretta would be the same. Then Jay0B311 threw me the Stoeger curve....thanks :) Probably not take the chance though and stick...
Still here and still reading. Just to be clear, there is nothing wrong with a used gun, I simply prefer to buy new.
In my other sports/hobbies it has always been relatively easy to find the sweet spot between quality, performance and price. With firearms, that sweet spot seems more elusive...
Hmmmm. More food for thought. Thanks. I keep checking the posts and absorbing what everyone is writing. Starting to reconsider and maybe I'll just stick with the 500 for now. But, I do have the itch to buy something and there seem to be quite a few good deals to be had this time of year...
Please indulge me for a minute, I am considering upgrading to a semi-auto 12 ga from a Mossberg 500. My purpose being for clay games. I have a budget of under $800 and I do no want a used gun. I have researched the following: Beretta A300, Franchi Affinity, Mossberg 930, and Stoeger 3000--the...

Found the link. I've only been there once and purchase some fishing stuff. Don't recall their firearms. Also a Walmart on 13 in Onley.
If you've never been, grab a bite at the Exmore Diner, good and reasonably priced. Also on13 on the north side of Exmore is El...
So after about a year of mostly lurking, being a sponge and occasionally contributing, I realized I never did the intro so here it is. My first introduction to shooting was with a BB gun with my dad and brother. Graduated to a .22 when I was in the Scouts and then drifted into other things...
Ran across this article on Marketwatch.com and it didn't turn-up in my search so I thought I'd share:

As far as I know, its 10-5 for everyone. If you have never been, make sure you do the online new shooter registration ahead of time. http://www.lochravenskeettrap.com
