Superb

  1. That makes my latest acquisition that I got about two weeks ago look like a piece of crap. I thought that it was pretty nice looking until seeing this. Sigh.........................

    1. I remember you were looking for a new trap gun. What did you end up with?

    2. I got the Tristar CTA combo and a nice Peak Case to carry it to the range. I was going to hold out for the CTA Deluxe with the removable trigger, but I figured that was one more thing for me to mess around with and break. I was also thinking about going more high end, but I have over 11,000 rounds through the Tristar Mono with nary a bit of trouble, so I figured that I'd stick with them for now.

    5. I know what you mean but I went the other direction. I have a pair of Beretta DT10s and really like haveing the ability to just pop out the trigger group for a quick and easy clean.its a nice option for a high round count gun to have.

    6. I'm still testing my wings in the sport. The higher end gun will come in time. I was kidding around with the lovely missus and told her that I had my eye on a nice K-80. Just as a joke, mind you. When I relayed to her that the one that I wanted was $20K plus, she just said that if I don't get bored with trap shooting and I'm still doing it in four years that I can buy one. My reply was "Who the hell are you and what have you done with my wife?".....................

      I don't really want a K-80. A DT-10 may be in my future, though. Really nice gun. I had the pleasure of trying one that a friend has. Out of the more expensive trap guns that I've gotten a chance to fire, I think I do lean towards Beretta. I came very close to buying a Beretta 682 Gold E Trap Combo, but I'm having a large wall built to the tune of $16K and we want to get the kitchen remodeled soon. For once in my life I used a little discretion and went cheap on the gun. Just for now, that is.........

    7. I would say you made the right choice and I don't think that's cheap. Remember it's not really the gun. I've seen people go 50 straight or shoot a 90+ with a 870 so there's that. I was a competitive intl.skeet shooter for many years and now only really shoot sporting clays/fitasc. I got into the DT10s because my skeet gun was a Beretta ASE90 witch were essentially the older hand fitted version of the same. But back in the day I won my class and a shoot or two with a really worn out Remington 3200.( the original K80 kinda) shoot what you got,you are your only handicap...
