[QUOTE="ttown, post: 3727355, member: 2114"] I shoot a Browning Citori for the last 40 years. Two features you want are screw in chokes and auto ejector of the shells. I use my field model for hunting, sporting clays, wobble trap/trap, and skeet for the last 40 years without a repair or failure. This is going to put him in the Charles Daily or other less expensive O/Us, I’d save another $500ish and buy a better quality shotgun. The Daily I had shot high and was cut for rising birds, I didn’t like that although you can get used to it. The O/Us have many advantages in the field with your selector switch as I’m sure you know. Start out with your tight choke and switch as the birds come closer to your open choke. If you reload you can save money by downloading your shot to 3/4 ounce and less power and shoot all day (same with pump). If he doesn’t shoot much the cheaper guns are fine but they aren’t anywhere the quality of your top O/Us. I love my A5s as well but never brought any more birds back than with my O/U…. I lalway shot too many rounds at the birds at too long of range but that’s just me. When I know I only have 2 shots I slow down and concentrate better. The recoil operated A5s are awesome in the blind though much mor reliable that a gas operated gun in extreme conditions and water.IMO but a great choice for an auto, less ideal for variable shooting into decoys and pass shooting as the season goes on and they come to look but are spooky with one choke.
