My opinion will ride the fence a little...

I started out with an 870 for skeet and did "okay" with it, but they tell me I shoot fast, meaning that regardless of whether I hit or miss, I have plenty of time for recovery on that second shot...With that said, I did buy an over and under for several reasons, I hand-load so I want my brass, even if I didn't I'd still clean up my area after taking my shots which slowed things down a little and also just added one more thing to think about. So no more bending over 25 times per game, or having to pump...I love my O/U for skeet, but prefer the old 870 for hunting.
