semi auto's arent liked in the clay world.......but saying that shot guns are just a bit of tube with some wood at one end...i wouldnt blow alot of money on one they are all as accurate as another......think years ago they were called blunded busts....

AAH hate this- I can never understand why people don't like them! as long as you carry it barrel upward, bolt open and a flag in it surely it is as safe as any other gun?

 

anyways, I would have a look at a second hand or new benelli, with the right stock and 24 gm cartridges, they can shoot as softly as a beretta, but to be honest, berettas don't recoil AT ALL to me that is wheras with a benelli it's generally lighter and much easier to clean, fewer its to take apart and get lost... ( i do like a clean gun),errrm semi is they way to go for softness, though you might want to have a look at the Hull cartridge Comp X loads in 21gm and 24gm, I shot a 21gm version through my side by side a while ago and it was as soft as a semi... still breaks things if you point it in the right direction.... as for O/U's, have a look at lanber, as i'm sure others have said, great value, or bettinsoli.... as for swapping chokes all the time, well i won't go there

 

Have fun!

Personally, I'd make things easier for myself, with one gun that is universally accepted nowadays, an O/U rather than the hassle of breach flags, barrels held high, funny looks and snobbery.

 

Just seems the easier option to me.

 

Beretta, Browning, Miroku for me

the benelli comfort is bout the softest semiauto iv shot, like you said the 21g shells are brilliantly soft to shoot and kill just as well as anything else i have tried and the ranges i have shot them at. 24g are my shells of choice for clays, you realy dont need any more than that. there isnt a clay that cant be broken with a 24g if its the right shot size and the right choke for what ever you are shooting.
