trickg,
I not only remember Rudy, but I knew him. That's was a differnt time. In those days, half of the trap guns out there were M12s and 870s. Not so today. Virtually no one who is serious competes with them now.
That said, an 870 or 1100 trap model is a good choice for a beginner who may or may not get serious. Once the bug bites, 99.9% of the shooters use a break open single bbl or an O/U combo.
BTW, anyone in the market for a trap gun would be well served to deal with Rudy's son, Joel Etchen, who has a thriving clay target gun business in Pa. Good guy, decent prices. Big Beretta, Kolar and Ljutic dealer.
