but shooting a perfect round with a pump is just more satisfying!

O/U is the only real 'serious shooter' option for skeet though, auto's jam and pumps, well, ya gotta pump them which detracts just a bit from getting onto your second target on doubles. But it can be done no matter what you use if you practice well enough.

There's the old saying, 'beware of the man with only one gun, for he knows how to use it very well!'

the 870 is a fine workhorse that fills many roles, that's why I own three! Just hands down the best 'standard' shotgun out there IMO
