Scattergun works great on gopher families who like to hang out on top of their dirt pile. Pretty tough to beat a day of skeet shooting. Anyone have a mechanical thrower? I'm still rocking the hand held chucker.
Had one but it ended up breaking after using it. Those hand ones are so reliable

I've got two small calibre Marlins (917vsf SS .17hmr and a 880ss .22). Both are excellent guns. The Ruger always felt cheap and sloppy when I looked at them. If it was me, Marlin for sure. Not sure if you need the heavy barrel though but it does help if semi-auto. Just more weight to haul around.
It is. Not sure it's really necessary on this one though as it's a tube magazine. Microgroove rifling too if memory serves. Mind you, the 970 does as well.

Thanks, I was gonna go look at one today, have heard good things and bad. Most people I talk to say they have a habit of breaking clays. Maybe I'll stick to the manual one for now.

I far prefer the manual load. You break the odd clay, maybe 1/15. But with someone who knows how to throw it's far more challenging than the auto launchers. They, IMO, are too predictable. Auto launchers can toss doubles if you want though.
