Still looking

What 20 ga shotgun do you all recommend for Skeet shooting in the $1500 or less range. Seems most of my research does not really specify skeet. I have plenty of Trap shotguns and they do just OK on the skeet field. But I want better! I know some might say any shotgun as long as you place the shot where the clay is going to be! And what pattern do you think. My Browning shoots about a 90/10. And on another note, if you got one for sale, I'm still looking!

Have you considered a CZ or a gently used Browning or Beretta over/under? They generally swing faster, mount more easily, and are much more forgiving on the skeet field than a long trap scattergun. I’d choose skeet or improved-cylinder chokes, pattern them at real skeet distances, and go for lighter loads to enhance control and follow-through.

I've not been able to find any used 20 ga skeet shotguns. And what I think I'm having to do is go with 20 Ga Companion tube set for $700 from Briely. I have a Browning725 shorter barrel that shoots both trap & skeet. Even my cheap Tristar does well in both. Trap I shoot the Tristar 7/8 OZ 7.5 Shot @1300 FPS.

The Turkish made over/under shotguns (Savage/Stephens, etc.) seem to work really well on the skeet range and don’t break the bank.
