O/U shotgun
I'm interested in an O/U shotgun. I looked at the Remington spartan and the Khan. Does anyone own or have experience with either??
I really don't hunt with a shotgun so it will be used for an occasional sporting clays shoot and maybe some trap or skeet. I know there are better O/U's but I can't afford them and not justifiable for the amount of time I will use it.
Thanks

RE: O/U shotgun
The Spartan is a great gun for the price. I've never heard of the other. I would recommend a Stoeger Condor. it can't be beat for the money. I have shot that one and love it. The one I shot was great except it takes a while to break in and we had a small problem with the safety not wanting to go off. Hope that helps. Let us know what you get and how good it is.

I own one of the earlier BaKail O/U's with the walnut stock and screw in chokes. It's basicallY a Citori knock off. I added a Morgan adjustable recoil pad to it and now it's really a great shotgun. Since they've turned to the Spartan line (by Rem) the stocks are not as nice but still a good shotgun. The good thing now is chekes are eaiser to obtain.

RE: O/U shotgun
Idont know where you live, but if you have an Academy Sports and Outdoors in your state they carry a great O/U. Its a Yildiz, Turkish import. The action is aluminum, making it extremely lightweight. When compared to the Spartan, the Spartan feels like a bag of cement. I bought the gun for less than $400 out the door. It has been shooting great, comes with 5 different chokes, and really doesnt kick bad at all. I would highly recomend it to anyone, and I forgot to mention, the wood on it is absolutely beautiful, its Turkish walnut.

RE: O/U shotgun
I got a Traditions O/U a few years ago. Its Made by an Italian firm called Fausti. It is an excellent weapon and at the time only cost $550. I've shot thousands of rounds through it at everything from clays to pheasant without any complications. Oh yeah I purchased it at Wal-Mart.
