I totally agree with all that has been said here. For the sporting clays game a 12 will certainly serve you better. Be very careful on the stock fit as was mentioned before. If you have been shooting modern guns you will find many of these old guns have a lot of drop at the heel and will cause you problems. Some adjustments can be made such as bending the stock but seldom much more than 1/4". I can't shoot anything lower than 2 1/2" drop at heel so that leaves a lot of these guns out for me but will diligent effort you will find a gun that fits you and you will enjoy shooting. Half the fun is in the search. One other thing. Don't leave out the Parker Reproductions. You get the benefit of the look and feel, in a higher grade gun, with modern dimensions. Just my two cents worth.
