When the game came here there were a lot of 30’s being used. As the shooters became more experienced 32’s and 34 O/U’s became the normal. Today a 30 inch O/U is hard to get rid of amongst the SC crowd.
The Beretta 680 series may be the most durable O/U’s ever made. Also the easiest to rebuild.
Dedicated trap and SC guns, may have significant differences, depending on how serious one is for each game. An adjustable comb is you friend.
Just saw this thread.. battue, you have me curious.. Why the longer barrels for SC? It seems to me the extra length would be more of a hindrance than a benefit.. I admit I've only shot SC twice.. I just didn't enjoy it and thought the cost just didn't justify the participation.. FWIW.
