I want one of these remingtons
Model 105CTi
it weighs 7 lbs for the 28" barrel model. i like it because it throws the emptys out the bottom instead of scattering them in the bushes where i can't find them.

That would be quite an improvement for sporing clays over the side ejection. Myself, I still prefer the Over/Under for that sport though.

It's a different syestem that's for sure. A skeletonized reciever, covered with a carbon fibre shell to reduce weight. But with my luck, that's just more areas to gather mud and crap. Personally, I like the Stoeger 2000 I picked up last winter. It's been a great, no nonsense shotgun. Or, if I wanted a pretty gun, I'd look into the Browning Gold. Just my opinion though.

Went to one of the local clubs that is big into the trap/skeet thing. They have a very interesting policy on their range. If you shoot their range, and your ejected husks hit their ground, they belong to the club. Now it allows them to reload really cheaply, but, c'mon. I don't like rules like that, so I won't shoot on their range.

I've shot at many trap ranges like that. It slows the shooting down for shooters to stop and pick up spent shells after their turn or between events. Most serious trap shooters use an over/under or unsingle with a high rib anyway. Many clubs will not allow side ejecting semi-autos without an attached shell catcher on trap fields because of the ejected shells hitting other shooters and their guns. |

same here when i was shooting clay targets. trap, skeet, and sporting clays are what got me into reloading and O/U's.

When I started shooting sporting clays, I used a Remington 870. I learned real fast that wasn't the gun to use if I wanted to reload. I was hunting all over the place for my shells. I found perhaps half of them.
I now use a Lanber Over/Under with a 28" barrel for sporting clays and skeet, and a Browning unsingle with a 34" barrel for trap. |

Ithaca went with bottom eject right off the bat with the Model 37.....I so love that shotgun! Made in 1938 (or '39 I forget) and still running strong. Thousands and thousands of rounds through it at the trap range and in the field.
But...I've found a new warm spot in my heart for the O/U.
