Opinions
Started shooting trap.
Using 870 express 28" I want an over under. Two I have boiled it down to are CZ Canvas back 28" Used 599.00 mint condition. Winchester 101 New 28" 999.00 Both have screw in chokes. Will also be a field gun for pheasant season as well. Opinions welcome. Thanks Brian Last edited by bhannah; October 18, 2012 at 08:36 PM. |

They are not trap guns but you can shoot trap with them. If you are serious about trap look for a trap gun.

Sure..
Can't afford to drop that kind of cash, for a dedicated trap gun.
And I am not looking for one either, as noted it will also be a field gun. Thanks for the opinion, wish I could get a dedicated one, saw a sweet one at Cabelas for 1800.00 but it would be useless in the field. |

My opinion, based on personal experience, is to buy a used Browning in the amount of about $800 to $900.

Of those two I would buy the CZ. I have a neighbor who has one and shoots about 100 rounds a week. He has had it about 3 years with no problems. It is getting a little loose after 10,000 or so rounds threw it.

Buy the Winchester 101, they are great guns. I shoot a Winchester model 12 trap gun and a Winchester 101 skeet gun that I bought for field an trap and skeet. I have no issues using them in the field.
You are going the other way. You're buying a field gun to shoot trap, this will work but you will be handicap on the trap field. As your skill improves you will most likely want a full fledged trap gun. Semper Fi. Gunnery Sergeant Clifford L. Hughes USMC REtired |

Buy the one that fits you the best...
for now, either one of them will probably work for 5 or 6 yrs... |

The OP isn't asking about dedicated Trap guns....
But a 29.5" being the optimal Trap gun, no way ....my personal preference for Trap is an Over Under that weighs right around 10 lbs ..with 32" barrels ..( and I prefer the Browning Citori, XT Trap model ) in that configuration. If I wanted to shoot a single barrel....Browning BT-99 or Browning BT-100 then I would want at least a 32" ...and frankly a 34" would be better. I like the Browning BT-100 a lot ....but the best single barrel Trap gun I've shot is a Krieghoff KX-6 ...in a 34". http://www.krieghoff.com/index.php/c...ngle-shot-trap |

BigJim is right about getting the one that you that fits you best. If there is no difference or if you haven't had an opportunity to shoot them, I would be tempted to go with the CZ just because of the money factor.
