I have recently started shooting trap. I currently use a 12 guage Savage Model 755A. My problem is I also use this gun to hunt deer. I will be siting my scope in sometime in the next few weeks and will not be able to use the Savage for Trap. My grandfather gave me his Springfield 5100 SxS double barrel 12 guage shotgun before he passed away and I am thinking about using this gun for trap instead of the Savage.

Most of the people where I shoot trap are using a O/O (over under double barrels) or a semi-auto and I haven't seen anyone with a SxS double barrel shotgun. Is it okay to use this gun? Are there any down sides to using this gun for Trap? Any advice is appreciated.
