I currently own a Mossberg pump-action 835 Ulti-Mag 12 guage and use it for hunting and trap & skeet shooting. It's a great gun but not very practical for trap & skeet. I've had my eye on a Beretta Silver Pigeon 12 guage (it's an over-under), which costs about $1,200. Given the size of the investment, I'd like to make sure it's going to be the most bang for the buck (pardon the pun). I've noticed a lot of guys at the range using semi-autos and was wondering whether I should buy one of them instead?

There's no such thing as second place...only the first to loose!!
