I just received my RBL that I ordered primarily for sporting clays. I have a number of older SxS's that I normally shoot along with a couple of newer Merkel's. But I wanted to give my older stuff a break from sporting clays and while I love the Merkel's they are a bit on the light side even using 7/8 oz. loads. My RBL is 32", splinter and straight stock with double triggers. It's a bit heavier at 8 lbs, 6 oz. than I hoped but it works well at sporting clays. Robert Krull
