I am slowly being seduced into the idea of joining the trap shooters at my club and need some advice on acquiring an appropriate 12 gauge. My shotgun experience is extremely limited to my Mossberg 590A1 pump for home defense when the zombies finally come and my girlfriend's old Remington 1100 semi auto set up for skeet with a barrel that offers no options for chokes.
I've been doing some online research and asking around and a few things keep coming up. The CZ Redhead and CZ Upland come in at about $950ish. I am also a big fan of CZ and have 3 of their handguns. The other gun that keeps coming up more than any other, and at half the price, is the Tristar Setter S/T. The Tristar is Turkish, apparently well received, and lacks bragging rights. One thought is that I could buy the Tristar and enjoy it's functionality and still have $400 to spend on ammo which might put me in a better place than buying the Upland or Redhead alone. Then again I may not want to upgrade from a CZ as fast as I might the Tristar.
Advice on any of the 3 please...
