How many o/u fans?

[TC_Oneshot]

Would like to know your opinion why o/u shotgun?

 

[Indyhandgunner]

They're more simplistic than a semi or pump (and generally less prone to failure), can be made lighter for carry in the field, easier to carry (break the action and put it on your shoulder), can be shown as safe (by breaking open the action) easier, allow for two chokes as opposed to one, and are all around classier/nicer looking than a semi/pump action.

I agree with this. When I started shooting Trap, I didn't have any shotgun except a 20 gauge semi-auto.

Bought an O/U 12 gauge and feel it was the best way to enter the sport. Really pleased I did. It's the old school and proper approach to the sport IMO...

Same here - love my o/u for trap, skeet and sporting clays. A few guys I shoot with use autoloaders, but I really like my o/u for the feel and simplicity.

For Trap/Skeet and bird/rabbit hunting, ok. But for Deer, Coyote, etc I'll stick with my autos.

 

[Hookeye]

I prefer O/Us but a double shotgun for deer............always thought one of these would be cool.........

 

[GustavHalbach]

Have always loved a good o/u. I also have a soft spot for walking the woods with a 16 gauge SxS on my shoulder. Takes me back to the good times I had with my Granddad.

it's the only way to go for sporting clays. with the different bird presentations you can change choke tubes for close or long shots, even on the same station....daryll

Just sold a Remington Peerless Field ...loved it, just couldnt shoot it that great...having sellers remorse...

I think they are gorgeous, some are truly works of art. While I am a fan, I don't own one. I don't have a real purpose for one and can't justify that much money for something just to look at. I'm envious of the guys with a nice one, though.

O/U Vote

Love my O/U for skeet. Started with a pump which was OK to learn on but by no means the way to go if you are going to be serious about it.

 

[churchmouse]

Love my O/U for the clay's.

I have a CZ woodcock in 28 ga, it's one of my favorite shotguns. Small, lightweight, beautiful little O/U shotgun.

Wow, a tactical over/under, don't think I've seen one of those before. Would love to see one of those on the skeet field.

That looks bad A$$!

A black tactical O/U.....perfect.

I've been wanting one but after you said this, I'm not sure I would feel comfortable having one...unless I can fake it til I make it. Might pick an O/U and a SxS for use as a field gun. I've got plenty of shotguns but you can't ever have too many.

The tacticool one looks disgusting.

 

[trailrider]

I've shot a pump for years but have been seriously looking at buying a o/u for a while now.
