I was getting worried you weren’t going to mention the Browning 725. Definitely the best all purpose over under shotgun in my opinion.

Just starting watching your channel, Great videos and information, you have great energy. Just getting into clay shooting your information has helped a great deal.

Thank you for the content Steve! Merry Christmas! I hope you get some more shotguns for Christmas and/or some ammo to keep you testing and shooting!

Really nice video and helps me out alot . Thanks 👍

THANK YOU for including the Sharptail. Love my side by sides and love my sharptail. Classic looks and feel. Averaging low 80’s as my sporting clays gun. It is my go to.

Great video and recommendations. Thanks! I really think you should do a side by side comparison of the SKB 90 TSS and the Tristar TT-15 Trap.

Great suggestion! 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)

I hunt waterfowl with the Cynergy Wicked Wing. I love it. The adjustable comb is huge for me. Will shoot it as much as possible, but O/U can be awkward to reload at times in certain blinds. I've been pestering Browning on Insta to come out with this gun in a 20 gauge bec the newer non-toxic loads can be so lethal in sub-gauges.

Love your videos and reviews. Browning Citori 725 looks great.

Watching from the UK, Browning 725 Black owner. Totally agree with the number 1 placement! :)

I’m a big fan of the CZ line as Huglu in Turkey makes most of their stuff and I have an over under from them that is fantastic and like you said craftsmanship at a real bargain. They’ve been making them for a long time and they make some very fancy stuff.

I bought my all around hunting over under from Browning. I chose the 725 Feather 12 gauge over under with 26 inch barrels. Weighs about 6 pounds and 8 ounces and I use Trulock blackened stainless steel extended ported improved cylinder and improved modified chokes. Can carry all day in the upland fields and is short overall to shoot waterfowl from a blind or layout blind. Mine was $2580 two years ago. Now over $3000 if you can find one.

I bought myself a browning cynergy wicked wing for an all around over under. Had it out waterfowl hunting and I may have to retire my beretta a400. It shoots so well and has a great feel.

Im a collector of shotguns and have accumulated about 16k worth. My favorite over under so far is the Browning cynergy composite. Shoots smooth with 32 inch barrels and i dont care if it gets scratched or dirty. And my favorite semi auto is beretta a400 sporting with 30 inch barrel. So smooth I don’t even feel it shoot.

Would love to see a cz o/u review.

Have you ever considered doing some higher grade manufacturers like Krieghoff, Blaser, Kolar and higher grade Beretta like DT11 in sporting configurations? Or an informational comparison from budget to mid level and premium sporting guns?

I bet if you donate $30K to his Patreon, he’d love to test out one of those Krieghoff gold model K-20’s and get back to you on that.

Just started my shotgun collection have semi auto pump and single shot but my favorite has to be my first over under it’s just a Stoeger condor but I fell in love with it and know I’m after over under shotguns

As a hunter I really like your videos. If you can Next year I would like to review Akus side by side and maybe Yıldız.

Just added the 725 sporting to my collection this fall. Reason I bought it is I wanted an O/U and when I shouldered it it fit perfectly. Getting used to it after only using a semi auto has been challenging.

I would love to see a review on Tristar Bristol and Stoeger 3020 and Tristar TT-15 Field. Great Content

I purchased the BR110 IPS after your review and like it very much for trap.

The Cynergy Wicked Wing is awesome! It’s heavy that’s true, but the durability and accuracy plus adjustability make it awesome. I’ve quail hunted shot clays and ducks and geese. It’s great! Plus it always is the talk of the hunt it’s so unique.

Really appreciate your channel since I found it. I think I’m going to buy a CZ Sharptail SxS next year due to your reviews. Always wanted to give a SxS a go. Shoutout to my Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I bought years ago. Glad I picked a good one. Did little research back then but it just appealed to me at a big gun store compared to the competition and price point. Re: Auto safety. No problem for me as this is the only double I’ve ever used. But I totally get it if it’s not an instinctual move for a guy like you who shoots so many shotguns.

I went with the beretta 686 28” hunter and removed the auto safety. I’m new to sports clays and so far it has been awesome. Love it.

I want a CZ Sharptail also. I’ve never had a SxS. Never even shot one. But when I shoulder one it points so good. I’d actually like an Upland Gun Company Venus model SxS. Gorgeous. Customizable. The company is located in Minnesota and contracts with a Spanish firm. But I can’t justify the cost. Minimum $4,500 and can go all the way to $10,000. The “base” $4,500 is all I want. It’s sweet. And light.

I am new to clay shooting, starting little late. I am 68. Going to get the Weatherby sxs soon

Thinking of going back to an over and under from my Benelli semi auto . I have had several semi autos but none have I shot as well as my grandpas 1960s imported over under

I have been looking at the Savage double barrel. It comes in side by side. Over and under. Two sets of barrels. Ejectors or extractors. And, I think the barrels are tooled for chokes. Around $900 dollars..

Another vote for the Browning 725. I have a 20g Field 28” & a 12g Sporting 30” & they’ve both been spectacular. Shoulders like a dream and spectacular triggers.

Huglu TRP and Huglu HT 14 are very interesting over under trap shotguns for me. All CZ shotguns are made in Huglu, so don't underestimate it because it's Turkish shotgun

I have a spandau target. With an adjustable cheek piece. I love it. After balancing, it's 9.4 lbs. Shoots like a dream. They have a color cased version.its the Supreme target. I'd like to see you review. I did ad an adjustable but piece on mine because the way my shoulder is shaped I kept wanting to cant the gun. And I think it was throwing off my poi. Now, I score 25 to 30 more clays per round than before.

Please review the browning Citori 725 trap max!!! It’s a beautiful gun and is brownings top of the line trap gun!

Love to see you do a review on the browning ultra XS black laminate shotgun

I use my Browning 725b Sperter2. 4years Old , and its as good as new. I shoot skeet and sporting. So loads of rounds out of it.

Might want to add Side by Side category in 2024 seem to be more in the market & making a comeback. Last night I saw the new Weatherby SXS side by side in 20ga & 12ga. It has a dip down center rib, then rises back up at the front bead, different. Everything except the wood finish was beautiful, hopefully they will get the finish ironed out & up to their quality standards very soon.

Like to see some reviews on the cz u/o Field Supreme, redhead premier, ultralight, drake

I love your videos and I learn a lot from them. I wonder if you would ever consider doing a series of videos or an occasional video on old shotguns you picked up on the used gun rack at your local stores? I love old guns - my favorite pheasant hunting gun is an Ithaca 37 Featherweight 16 gauge made in 1954 that I bought 25 years ago for the princely sum of $150. I would love to see what someone of your knowledge and expertise makes of an old Remington 1100 or 11-48, a Winchester Model 12, a Browning Auto 5, Ithaca 37, etc.

Have you reviewed the tristar trinity? I’d be interested in your opinion on it

I almost got one of the Fabarm br 110’s but i was having a hard time finding chokes to buy for it and i like to run 2 lm chokes for sporting clays. Has any aftermarket companies started making chokes for it? So i got the browning sporting instead. Also have you shot the mossberg 940 pro field yet? I got one with 28 inch barrel and it does pretty good. Its got all the cool stuff the 940 jm pro has but with a longer barrel for only $800

BR110 IPS is awesome, next step up would cost double to triple the price . Rizzini makes very good firearms.

Also, can you please review the beretta 694

I recently got into clay shooting-skeet trap and sporting clays. I do it with a Mossberg 500 pump shotgun! Gotta be fast on those true pairs. I have been eyeing a Browning 725 down at BassPro for an upgrade, but it doesn't have the adjustable comb, and the guys I shoot with say I should get one with this option. So what are your thoughts on this. Should I hold out for one with the adjustable comb?

You should review the CZ Bobwhite G2 side by side. I love mine. I love the double triggers.

@targetfocusedlife The Cynergy Wicked Wing doesn't have an adjustable comb. However, the Cynergy Classic Trap does. Also, are you going to review the Beretta 694 at all?

Can you do a video on a tr imports silver eagle foris. I can’t find a review anywhere

I bought a cz redhead all terrain this year as my all around shotgun. So far I have taken a turkey with it, and I plan on taking it dove and duck hunting. I have shot some skeet with it and even though I am years out of practice I shot some really good rounds with it. I am really impressed with it so far

Tristar hunter mag II, all camo nice price point gun for waterfowl

Beretta used to make a 686 with a 3.5 inch chamber. I own it and have used it for trap, clays and water fowl. Great gun. If they still make it, you should review it.

How’s the recoil being the gun is so light? What shells are you shooting with it for pheasant? I usually shoot 1 1/2 ounce bismuth for ducks . Was wanting to get a gun like yours, but thought because of the gun being so light the recoil will be a lot heavier and not able to tolerate it.

Putting this out there for waterfowl since you only knew of the wicked wing CZ swamp magnum camp is another over under that shoots 3.5” shells and is meant for ducks, haven’t shot one so can’t vouch for it but I do live my ultra light by them

Don't forget to include: Boss & Co, J. Purdey & Sons, & Holland and Holland for your Upland Game guns (new or used) ;)

For waterfowl shotguns I’d love to see a review of the CZ Swamp Magnum. Also Tristar has the Hunter Mag and the Cypher that both I think would be great all purpose or hunting guns, if the quality is there. All 3 are also fairly inexpensive by O/U standards.

Dang, new shotgun prices are out of hand! I’d definitely buy used. I’ve bought a near mint Browning Superposed special trap with grade 3-4 wood, 30” barrels recently for under 8. Same with a Franchi international trap and they were priced higher than a Superposed. About 20% the cost of a new car back then. Both amazing hand built, beautiful engraved guns with amazing wood at entry level prices new. Heck I even found a British SxS that’s fully hand engraved for 7. Amazing deals in the used market at the moment if a guy does his homework. Guns of that quality new start at ten grand and they still will be made by a machine 🤷🏽‍♂️

Need to review Perazzi high tech. Need to review fabarm elos N2 Allsport. Need to review Webley & Scott pro comp. I don't agree with the Browning pick. It's very pedestrian and swings like a brick as do most Browning shotguns.

Personally my favorite for waterfowl is the stoeger condor in 20 gauge. I’m sure these other guns are great but o would never take one that pricey out in the marshes or on the open water. Fields for geese is another thing however. I have good guns like custom built ones but when it comes to hunting most of my guns are under $700. A video on the best at certain price points would be nice.

I’d like to see a review on the fabarm elos n2 xl

Don't know how others, but I would appreciate you reviewing some CZ O/Us...

The auto safety on the Beretta 686 is highly annoying. It's also easily disabled. Pull the trigger assembly and remove the rod link that operates it. The only hard part is defeating Beretta's method of getting the trigger plate screw mega tight at the factory.

On the competition side you should look at Ceasar Guerini's offerings as well as Zoli. In my opinion some of the best shooting guns out there. I shoot a Zoli Z sport and couldnt be happier. They are a little bit pricey, but would love to see you make a video about them!

I'm going to have to defer to your knowledge on this one, as I have not shot 3/4 of the guns listed! I have a 725 pro sporting and it is great. Two things that need done fur it to be great is. Always let all the way up the trigger for the second shot. Clean the firing pins every season.but I do shot between 10,000 and 15,000 shells a year. Also bought a "new" old stock Remington premier 28 gauge. I have to say it's one of my most favorite. Feels good to hit clays out farther than most with 3/4 oz. Took it pheasant hunting in south Dakota this year and it handled nicely. Keep up the great job!

I own a Browning 725 pro sporting. It's a great gun. Shoot sporting clays, 5 stand, Continental, trap, doubles, and meet shoots @ 27 yards with it. Shoots well. My only complaint is the bluing on the barrels are not very good.very thin bluing overall. where the hand guard snaps in has rubbed through. I own other shot guns worth more like a Kreighoff and a lot less like a at stoeger side by side upland that have much better bluing!

Waterfowl tristar mag and stoger make them
