The Sporting Clays Classic

Just think, no more muttering to yourself . . . "I sure wish I had a Sporting Clays Classic!"

You have a good point but for this guy, I don't shoot 3" or steel shot. If I must shoot steel that's what my fixed choke BSS is for. If I'm waterfowl hunting I use ITX or TSS. I can shoot ITX in my Parkers. It has a custom stock and an ISIS recoil system so it handles my waterfowl loads and my heavy crow loads (1 1/8 oz #5 or #6 at 1350-1400 FPS).

What Mike said. I find no need for 3" or steel. I find that not worrying about chokes let's me focus on what's important. I bought my BSS way back when they first mandated . If need be I'll use a non-tox load.

Yeah I got past playing with 3” when I had that hardware store HE Fox . My handloaded 3” 1 5/8 ounce loads were eye opening to say the least !
