I am interested in building or buying a sporting clays gun to be used in sxs competition and would appreciate any input. I am willing to spend about $3-4000 to build this gun. I saw a recent post with someone using a Browning BSS 30” to do this and that is certainly an option. However, I would like something with a bit better wood and a little finer triggers (although the BSS I use for skeet is very good). Guns that I am considering are the RBL 12 g with pistol grip & beavertail forearm w single trigger (not sure of the trigger for competition), a Bernadelli Las Palomas pigeon gun with aftermarket chokes, a Beretta 411 or 471, a Win 21 if I can find one at this price point or the modified BSS. I didn’t think an older gun would hold up as well as one of these, although I would be open to suggestions.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
