robmiller Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey guys, i know the difference of the two but, if you were to buy an all round gun to do the business, what would you go for? A sporter multichoke or a game gun? Am i correct in thinking game guns are always fixed chokes? Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cushat Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 As an allrounder you can't beat a sporter. A game gun will generally be too light if you're shooting many cartridges (i.e. clays). If you're only shooting game occassionally then the extra weight of a sporter won't be a big deal. You can get MC game guns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Sporters are apparently the most popular guns and will do for pretty much anything probably. Mind you game guns are often available for less money and MC ones too! IMHO both are fine but I you want it for everything get a steel proofed one that will take 3" carts and avoid trap guns. Don't shoot steel myself but 3" carts are good for geese and who knows what the future will hold in terms of steel! straight shootin will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoughton Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Good advice already been given. My advice would be not to get too hung up on 'Sporter' or 'Game' tags. What's far more important is to a gun that fits you well and just 'feels' comfortable to you. You'll shoot better with a gun that fits right as opposed to one that's of the right 'type'. Be careful with gunshops that just look at you and then say 'yeah that fits you OK' - don't take it for granted. They said that to me but in fact I had to have a huge extension to my stock to get it to fit me! The whole objective is to get the gun to consistently mount to your face without moving your head/neck - you want the gun just to point where you are looking. There are lots of good explanations of gun fit etc - but the main point is the above. Good luck Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
