As far as reliability goes, doubles cannot be beat. However, in the recoil category, autos cannot be beat. I also like autos for most hunting situations because they can be loaded in a blind without having to maneuver them all over the place and I like that extra shell. If I were going to shoot 1,750 rounds out of my gun in a single day, I would choose my 391 Teknys because it seems to be the best on recoil.
No doubt in my mind that the o/u's are the classiest guns out there, but that is just my opinion.
With all the bird hunts that you have been on, which I can only dream about going on, I am surprised that you haven't done a lot more clay shooting.
Where in Florida are you located? My wife's parents are in Tampa, Florida and we visit once or twice a year at the least. Is there any good bird hunting down there? Any waterfowl? Last Christmas while I was down there, I saw so many ducks in the bay and her parents had 8 hooded mergansers in a storm water drain pond right next to their house. I was crying because I couldn't do any hunting while I was there.
