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

10/22. Cheap ammo and proven platform. Tm22 is gimmicky IMHO. 10/22 is very customizable with a shit tonne of aftermarket options.

Tm22 doesn’t have a mag limit like the 10/22 does I believe. That gives it quite an edge

You might as well be 12 if you’re still shooting a 10/22

Well if we’re being judgmental here then the Tm22 is for chads in full plate sporting paintball gear larping in the woods with their pretend m16.
