On friday night i went down to my clay arget range and re-newed my member ship (yes it did expire on the last day of last year
) And i shot a round of skeet and got 16 out of 25 which isn't half bad considering i haven't shot any form of clay taget for a while and skeet not being my best discipline its pretty good.
Im looking for a new shotgun as my Browning has set chokes of 3/4 annd full which is to tight for skeet. But good for trap.
I used my dads friend gun which is a limited edition miruko grade with grade 5 stock.Its a nice gun but way to expensive for me. So i did a bit of research and Lanber shotguns look pretty good in price and even better looks good. I don't know which one i would like the hunter model 2087 or the sporter 2097 model both look nice and i will like to handle them next time i go to my LGS.
Does anyone have any experience with Lanber shotgun? I read a couple of reviews and the look sound pretty good.
Thanks. -

shotgun would be ok. but remember the recoil from a slug on your gun will be immense. And you would need a gun with no choke. otherwise that slug will get caught in the barrel. -

Yeah thats why i want one with 5 chokes cylinder bore (which i would use for slugs) modified improved modifed 3/4 full. Or something along thoes lines.
One thing that has always puzzled me is why do people say slugs have more recoil than normal shotshells? Its shooting the same weight of shot (1 1/4 ounce) only as a single projectile? Now im not saying your wrong but why? -

It would basically be like firing a very heavy cartrage. Instead of alot of smaller shot its one solid slug, I don't know how much it weighs. I usually fire a 30 - 32 gram no5 or no6 shot for pidgeons etc. But At a guess I'd say a solid slug would be more like a 36 or 42 gramme cartrage -

You can use them for most medium game.
Think about it a .729 chunk of lead weighing 600 grains travelling at around 1200 fps i would not like to get hit by it. -

deadeye i just did a conversion on my comp a 1ounce slug would be a 28 gram load but im guessing it will use more powder which would give it a bigger kick. A 1 1/4 ounce slug would be a 35 gram load which would have a considerable kick. With out a good reocil pad it will become quiet uncomfortable to shoot after a box or so. -

Woops it would roughly be 440 grains not 600 either way i wouldn't be like to hit by either. -
