If you have a local clay ground that gives lessons, why not have a visit there. If you are just setting out, they might be able to let you try an assortment of guns to help you decide. You will also, at least learn about the principles of lead etc. Personally, I would go for a 12 bore over / under, but you will decide for yourself. Don't be too hasty.

Try a 16 bore, a good compromise between the 12 and the 20. I have heard it is the most popular bore on the continent.

try an 8-bore mate it will kill a rabbit

Until you know what you are doing, and what you want, and what you intend to do with it, forget being clever...buy a 12g!

 

...and it's Which..not What!! ATB!!

Im the same as you mate loads of rabbits and a few days at the pigeons i bought a baikal 12 bore not the nicest looking but it fires every time i pull the trigger and im not worried about it getting the odd scratch in a hide
