Sporting SP has

 

A tapered rib from 10 mm to I think 6 mm

 

Optima chokes

 

Standard sporting white bead

 

Heavier than the game version

 

The safety is manual safety

 

Stock feels thicker than the game version

 

 

 

Game SP has

 

Narrow rib

 

Can't remember what chokes, but not Optima ones

 

Top mounting bead

 

Sling monuting kit in the case but stock not drilled for the sling stud

 

Safety is auto safety

 

 

The guns feel slightly different in their handing, yet they both feel very nice its a hard choice to make as which one to get. I have not yet shot the game version as trying out the sporter. If using it for both rough and sporting think I would be tempted to get the game version, as you can always use 21G cartridges for sporting clays if you feel any recoil using heavy cartridges. If using the game version for clays you just need to remember to turn tnhe safety off enry time you shoot.

I get on better with a Game gun for Sporting than I do a Sporting for Game, so GAME (Field)..UNLESS you intend HEAVY Sporting and just a bit of game!

 

Personal choice of course, others will no doubt have a different opinion. :good: :good:

I agree Dekers, I often shoot 400 Hull comp x 28g a week, 200 each day in no more then a Skeet vest and shirt with no problems through my Beretta Silver Pigeon one 28" field gun. I choose this gun as it's fairly heavy for a game gun, mine weighing 7.9 lbs so it works beautifully for clay, game and pigeon shooting... :good::good::good:

I bought the Sporter because it felt and fitted better for me (and I do sporting clays), and would agree that you have to weigh up what you will be predominately using it for. If you do a lot of rough shooting then get the field version.

 

I also use the Hull 28s but to be fair they feel like being kissed by a lamb compared to e.g. Hull Profobre in a lighter gun. Try 400 Hull Profbre 28s a week and see how your arm feels.
