A good fit really can make a difference, my first purchase was a Miroku O&U that I tried and bought when taking lessons and it's my general purpose gun. Having said that I took a liking to a Laurona sbs sideplate (like Dromia's) that a syndicate member was moving on for little money. It's like a pop gun to hold but first time I had it out I was walking gun on our first beat and shot 3 birds for 4 shots. I use it for September walked up shooting. Also have a Remington semi-auto that I got for wild fowling and that shoots like a dream, good on clays.

I'd still try before buying and go for fit on first purchase, it needs to hit where you look. Rest is up to you.

Good luck and enjoy your shooting.

If you want a cheap and cheerful o/u to start with, then you could do a lot worse than a Baikal.

I use mine exclusively for sporting clays and don't embarrass myself too often!

AYA s/s shotguns are fine pieces of kit for the money and although fairly light, they perform well.

As previously mentioned, fit is everything whatever gun you choose.
