Skeet shooters typically shoot an O/U. O/U can also be used successfully for hunting as can a nice SxS.

Once you get past about US $12,000, IMO, you start to get into the realm of the upgraded wood and engraving - both of which may add an additional 30 to 50,000 US to the cost. The guns I have seen, fondled and shot that were in the 50-100,000 range and NOT super fancy were the David Mackay Brown's, Purdey, H&H, etc. where you are paying for the hand-built attention to detail. Is it worth it? Only YOU can answer that question.

Personally, I would opt to go to Italy and visit Beretta, Perazzi and maybe Fabbri to see their showrooms and ask questions. They may have trial guns to let you see what might work for you.

The fun is in the search
