Dom,

I used to shoot sporting clays with a 682 Gold just like you have, but I found that using the auto really helped me with the reduced recoil and the way the gun fit me. When I can go from the high 30's/low 40's, and pretty much shoot a 48/50 and never drop into the 30's again, I think I'll take the "handicap". Same goes for waterfowl hunting. I used to shoot an o/u because of the chokes and because I was used to using one on clays. However, the third shot and recoil reduction really helped my bag numbers increase, not to mention that the auto is a lot easier to load in a blind. I still use the o/u on skeet and trap, but am seriously thinking about buying another 391 Teknys specifically for trap.
