[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1075093, member: 6145"] if your wanting to shoot skeet, the recoil is a HUGE factor. I shoot a couple of times per week and everyone has gone to reloading to make a lighter shell - not save any money. recoil can beat you to death when you are shooting 100 and 200 shells. then you start flinching and then your score goes down. 12 and 20 guns are everywhere. 16 gauge i am not so sure. if you want to shoot competitive skeet, you shoot 12, 20, 28, 410. you can shoot the 16 in the 12 competition but the recoil is about the same and you are throwing less lead. it is a disadvanage. 12 & 20 reloaders and supplies are easy to find. store bought shells are easy to find. 16, again i am not so sure. to me the 16 is not a practical gun. you might as well shoot a 12, a 16 does not really buy you anything. also, if your shooting skeet much, you might go through 2 to 10 guns before you find the right one. you have a large selection and for good prices in 12 and 20. i do not know anyone that shoots a 16 in skeet or trap.
