mossberg 590 skeet gun?

[genwinters]

Is the mossberg 590 a good skeet/trap gun? i have been eying it for awhile now. I am wanting to get a shotgun for trap and skeet shooting and its either the remington 870 or the mossberg 590.

for skeet, or doubles trap, or sporting clays, an O/U or a semi auto is a much better choice. it can be done with a pump, but your going to miss alot of birds. the second bird is hard enough to hit without working the action between shots.

haha, i am up for a challenge. I would like to eventually get a O/U but for now i want a utility, would it work for skeet/trap though?

like i said, it will work, but you'll miss some birds because of it. the second bird of a pair is very hard to hit anyways even without having to pump the gun. pump guns work fine for singles trap though.

ok thanks, i have a feeling this will be a first of many purchases

if you get hooked on shooting clay pigeons, it can get expensive. a perazzi is on my wish list. this one gets the job done, but still isnt my dream gun.
