davethesmith Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Certificate just arived, been looking at styles of 12g fot a while now,either a semi or ou but dont quite understand what is the difference between a game gun and a sporting gun and also a trap or skeet gun. cheers dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasbrisas Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Could be a long answer but the best all rounder is a sporter which can be used for clays and game. A game gun is generally lghter because you are carrying it all day in the field but does suffer more from recoil in the process so not ideal for smoking clays. Never really used a dedicated skeet gun so can't comment but it would be a sporter for me every time. A lot of clubs don't like semi autos because you can't tell when it's loaded and they spew the cartridges out of the side. Hope this helps a bit.
