i am looking for a shotgun that will be used for both clays and birds. i have narrowed it down to 3 guns.
franchi 720
remington 1100 classic field or 11-87 sprotsman
any one had any experience with any of these guns.

your opinion on which one to get.

i wasnt impressed with my buddies franchi. it didnt like to feed 2 3/4" shells and it wouldnt eject 3 1/2". the remingtons are nice but id look at an x2 or browning gold.

I'd go with the 1100. I think it's a good value and my 1100 has been 100% reliable. Plus, there are a lot of accessories (barrels, spare parts, etc.) available.
