I have found later than I should have it is more enjoyable shooting a field style gun at Sporting Clays. I agree on this. I have tricked out SxS's for the SxS shoots, but I've found I most enjoy a field gun with light loads. Same gun(s) I carry in the fall.

The SxS shoots around here are all about fun and giggles. I wouldn't want it any other way. Your mileage may vary.

I have two RBL 12's. One is a light frame 30", btfe, pg, single trigger, with the low vent rib, with very nice American Walnut. It's about 7 1/2 lbs
30" barrels, 7 1/2 pounds = light? I guess it depends on one's definition of heavy. I think of NFL linebackers as heavy, but they're light in comparison to offensive linemen. I have an NID 1E with 30" barrels that weighs around 7 1/2. That's by far the heaviest gun I own, or ever intend to own. Most of the big sxs shoots are really more about shooting sxs, looking at sxs, meeting fellow sxs shooters etc than they are about competition.

I'm not a competitive shooter. And yeah, we all know there's a difference in shooting sporting clays for fun vs. competition. But when the OP asks who has experience with a gun made and marketed specifically for shooting sporting clays, it seems to me the intended use is probably competition.
Still cringed at "capish" though.

I only shoot for fun and giggles. The more targets I break the more I giggle. I've never met anyone who was shooting well and not having fun.
My introduction to the .410 was with a 25" barreled Win 23. Breaking less than half the targets I'd paid for was never fun. After a few months of that, I've never been tempted to try the cartridge again.
