jinxy72 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 whats the difference between a trap gun and a sporting gun ? ... is it just the pad which is different ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisecobandit Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 A trap gun usually shoots higher due to having a high comb.A trap gun also tends to have a straight comb so wherever you position your head along the stock the sight picture still stays the same whereas a sporter tends to have a sloping comb. Trap guns usually have fixed tighter chokes around 3/4 and full and most sporters are now multichoke although fixed choke are available tends to be around !/4 and 1/2.

wisecobandit Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 No probs m8, also the trap guns tend to have a slightly larger and wider foreend normally beavertail whereas the sporter is narrower type called a shnabel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
