Coming back to shooting after 30 years and things have changed - especially the number of O/U. I always shot with a s/s but tried an O/U once and found it hugely bulky and heavy - guess things have changed now.
I will be visiting a shooting ground for refresher training, to get my eye back in and try a few different guns , but I'd still like a short list of ones that might be suitable.
I have decided for a number of reasons that I'd prefer 20 bore and looking for recommendations.
Will be mainly used for clays and occasional game. Seems that most modern guns (clay?) have multi interchangeable chokes, which do NOT appeal to me at old - Sorry bit old school but that's my choice.
I guess that for guns with fixed choke you'd be looking at "sporting" as opposed to clay/trap?
I don't remember general shooting have lots of different interchangeable chokes 30 years ago!
Given that O/U will have developed alot over the last 30 odd years, I'm open minded about O/U. Must be ejector. Budget - up to £5k
