I always think semi autos should be the last gun you buy as loading them etc and safety aspect is not as great as an O/U, they all do the same thing, I wanted a clay gun for about 800 and settled for a O/U bettinsoli XTRAIL, looks nice, case hardened etc and does the job fine. Then have a nice side by side for rough shooting etc, if there's one thing iv learned about buying guns is everyone has a different opinion lol.
