I took the plunge and based on the generally strong endorsement of the Poli, I have an Opal sporter coming next week - at least for inspection. As far as I can tell, it is one of the few - if not the only - sxs that was designed for clay targets. I have looked seriously at the RBLs and have visited the factory twice - coming very close to buying a 12 g that had been produced without an owner at the time of my visit. It is a very nice gun but my impression was that it didn’t have a lot of “life” moving it in the gun room. Certainly that can be deceiving, so I also tried one at the Vintagers event last month with the same general feeling. So, pending inspection next week, I will likely be shooting a Poli at clays along with my SO4. My only concern is the double triggers this particular gun has. I shoot double triggers on my Parker and Arrizabalaga but I have never used either for any “serious” clay shooting. Other than that, the gun sounds & looks very nice.
Thanks for all of the help
