Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 are good affordable all-around choices, as are the H&R single shots if you don't need to shoot skeet or take multiple shots at waterfowl. I'm slightly biased here, as I was presented with a Mossberg 500 on my 12th birthday, and I think the tang safety on the Mossberg is better than the crossbolt safety on the Remington. Trap guns are single shots, often on over/under frames with a high rib taking the space normally occupied by the top barrel. This is an affordable trap gun, probably the only affordable trap gun: http://www.hr1871.com/Firearms/Shotguns/toppertrap.asp _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
