The Tri Star auto is inexpensive and is the same gun as the S&W. It is made in Turkey, but is light, comes to your shoulder well and is just a sweet gun. Be sure to clean it and oil it before shooting it. It might help to run a couple of boxes of high brass or magnum shells to break it in. I didn't clean and oil it before I shot it (and I KNEW better), had a few problems, called customer service and talked to a very nice, knowledgeable guy who was anxious to help. I cleaned, oiled, and shot it in after taking to him and now it works like a charm. For clay birds, real birds and ducks, it is my first choice and I have a couple of high dollar guns.
