The other day, a friend and I were talking about modern SxSs for sporting clays. This got me thinking about what's currently available.
I don't have any interest in an RBL, a Merkel or putting choke tubes into a Win. M-21. This narrows the field quite a bit to modern Spanish or Italian guns.
Here are the requirements we came up with for a clays gun: It should be heavy and durable, 32" barrels, flush choke tubes, double triggers, nice wood and overall good looks, splinter fore arm, PoW grip, modern long dimensions, flat pigeon rib, etc.
We think that they can probably be made "reasonably" by some of the Continental makers: Poli, Fausti, AyA, etc.
Any opinions of these or other manufacturers and models would be welcome.
