Mike, Time for a PW with hydraulics. Takes me less than an hour to load a case, and still have time for Pepsi breaks. When it’s season, I find a off day and just spend it loading. This holds me off for a month or two (I will shoot at least a three cases a week if I’m also shooting league). At $21 to reload a case of target grade shells, the machine has paid for it's self long ago. Don't know what you’re paying for AA's or Fed Gold’s, but last time I checked, they were at $42 a case in bulk. P.S. Let me guess, you have went low budget with shells and like your shoulder getting torn apart during practice (full case). Did that once down at SLGC and bought a Winchester value packs in a 250 round case from one of the local guys ($28). They were like shooting rhino loads, and on the 27 yard handicap line, you could drive a truck threw the holes in the pattern. |
| Well as always Dano you are right.......but I am shooting skeet from an auto so recoil is not as much as an issue. Buut you are right I should buy a Poss and Warren (spelling) and get I over with. At least for 410 and 28 gauge. Right now I use Walmart cheap's for 12 and 20 and my club buy's Estate in bulk. I pay $5.20 for 28 and 410. MIKE. |

Auto loader???? Time to trade in the 4 autoloaders and buy one O/U with a tube set. Got to be hell trying to get them all to swing/shoot to the same POI. If you make it to the world cup to shoot, you should be able to find some smoking deals. P.S. The one thing that still pisses me off to this day is at the world's a few years back, had a chance to buy one of Kolar's demo's for $6000 with a full tube set/case (new to the market). Pissed around and waited to buy a new replacement for the ageing MX-10. Called them up and found that the a new ones with tubes and a extra trigger set was going to be over $13,000. Great shotgun, but for the money, would rather just stay with the 10. www.kolararms.com/competition/gun.cfm?GunID=1 |

Yes I need a O/U with tubes but I have two sons and we all shot NSSA skeet for the first time this year. I needed four guns quick so that the three of us could shoot. I had two 1100's, both field models in 12 and 410. The 12 had screw in chokes and I found a skeet barrel for my 410. I purchased the 1100 Sporting in both 20 and 28 and off we went. My oldest son was not impressed with skeet and was working as a lifeguard for the summer so he dropped out. That left Kevin and me. We shot as much as we could and had some fun. Had some good scores, won a few dollars, and made the Skeet Review. I have a line on a Beretta 682 NIB for $2400.00 plus tubes. Both my sons attend private high school and the oldest will be leaving for school next year. I have been visiting schools for several weeks and getting some serious sticker shock. So the Beratta might have to wait. Meanwhile I will be taking the NYPD Trap and Skeet team to both the NYS police olympics and the International police olympics this year. I have shot the police olympics for the past four years and the level of skill in NSSA as compared to the cop's was a big eye opener. MIKE. |

Had a source for a like new Mirage with brand new Briley tube set (was just sent back from Briley, and the guy bought a K-32 when the tubes were being fitted) going for $5500, but had an Air stock that you would need to replace from the start. The 682 with a tube set is going to run you around the $4000 mark (after tuning/fitting/case), and is a good gun (just not in 26" barrels). The problem is getting to the FCG group for maintenance. Not a shotgun you can just swap the FCG on the line if something goes south. So, this forces you to always have a back up in the truck just incase the Gods frown on you any given day (FCG gets grit/wood flakes in it and the trigger/sear will not reset). The solution to the problem is to add some creep, but not my idea of a great FCG trigger job, which forced to leave the sears/trigger tight, and pull the butt stock every month to clean the debris out of the FCG. To add, if you do pick a Beretta up, I have a factory butt stock Allen wrench (T-handle) that you can have. It's for my old back up 682 that I added an adjustable comb (aftermarket). The replacement butt stock bolt is different than the factory, and the wrench is just colleting dust. |
