Works for me Osprey  I would love to bird hunt with a SBS

A couple of weeks ago I attended a tactical shotgun training class. At the end of the day the class took over the trap field, and we spent a couple of hours busting clays with our tactical shotguns. Having never shot trap before I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did. Apparently it's all about the follow-through 
With that in mind, this is my trap gun: 
Alkapitano, that's a gorgeous Winchester you've got there! An absolute thing of beauty

This was the second gun I ever bought which I used for skeet and sporting clays...
I only did that for a year or 2 then it sat in the safe for years before I finally sold it. A few years back before I sold it, I bought this next one so I'd have a second SG to take in case I wanted to bring the wife or a friend clay busting... 
I still have the Beretta but it's only had maybe one box of shells through it.  Someday I'd like to get back into clay shooting and if I do I'll buy a Browning Citori which is what I really wanted went I bought the Ruger.

Here is my baby. Its a Feb. '96 Benelli Montefeltro with a Benelli optional 21" VR barrel. picked this thing up used at the local gun store for $540 and haven't regretted a single second of it. So without further ado, here she is.
The last one was for HA-HAs, It's with my S&W M&P 15-22, another fun little rifle to say the least. |

Over here we cant really have 'tactical shotguns'  i can apply for a 5+1 semi auto licence for clay shooting which im planning on doing eventually but for now the winchester is plenty adequate. I started refinishing the stock on the winchester today cause it had a heap of little dings and a small crack along with the dodgey cheek rest that someone had shaved the wood off with a plane or something. I'll post a pic for you to be more jelous about when im finished

Looking forward to your pics!
Do you and your family ever travel to the US? If so, I'd love to meet up with you for a day at the range. The ammo will be on me, and I'm sure we could gather up several ARFcommers. You could shoot whatever you like Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

An absolute thing of beauty I've done it before with my M4 too. I can hit most of my targets pretty easy with it. My friend used a Saiga, but had about a 25% hit rate. |

I have a Winchester Super X3. Shot over 10 cases(250 rounds each) rounds through it so far this year. I've taken it all over the place, and it hasn't failed yet. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3312/3453802630_0fd07e8402.jpg |

Bit hard to get the licence over here though
