Buy recommendations Second purchase advice
Looking for some opinions as I contemplate a second rifle or shotgun! Currently I only own a 1301 Tactical…. Uses are mainly range/targets and sporting clays.
I’ve been eyeing these few, would appreciate any opinions on any of these, or any other suggestions!
-590a1 class III (14”): I figure i might as well get the king of pumps, tried, tested, and indestructible. The 14” model is quite hard to find but I see them available currently at a couple retailers.
-Intersurplus shotgun for clays: I’ve been eyeing the Baikal O/U but I have no experience on the durability of these. Ideally I want something that will last me a while and can be fixed if needed.
-SKS. I’ve been wanting a French tickler but all that seems available now are the normal Chinese or the Russian models
-10/22 or TM22… I know I need a .22 but they are just less exciting overall to me compared to the above models

If you want something that can be fixed it's not an old shotgun from intersurplus.
If you want something for clays, get an a400 or a300.
You have tactical shotgun covered, not as much of a need for another just because it's pump.
If you're interested in clays a dedicated clay gun seems the most logical.
Otherwise some rifle seems to make more sense.
