The best sporting shotguns

Gunfinder Magazine

Sporting shotguns are usually buck shotguns, i.e. double-barreled shotguns, which are primarily designed for sporting shooting at clay targets - and not for hunting. On the one hand, special stocks are built in for repeatable sporting shooting; for example, shotguns with adjustable stock backs are common, which are not often used in hunting. On the other hand, shotguns often have particularly long barrel bundles because they swing more comfortably. For hunting, long barrels are disadvantageous in that they make the guns heavier and more unwieldy. In addition, sporting shotguns have wide barrel rails for fast and precise aiming of flying targets. In contrast to hunting shotguns, the barrel rail and the barrel connection rail are ventilated so that heat dissipation is fast - this is important because much more is shot in sports than in hunting.

If you are a hunter participating in hunting trap or skeet comparative shooting, you may not necessarily need a pure sporting shotgun. Here, a "normal" hunting shotgun may be perfectly adequate. Especially since in many hunter circles self-loading shotguns are still frowned upon at skeet and trap ranges. Among hunters, self-loading shotguns are becoming increasingly popular, especially for hunting crows, pigeons and geese. On the shooting ranges, on the other hand, most people still practice "classically" with a double-barreled shotgun or a cross-barreled shotgun.

With the sporting shotgun, the principle "the shooter shoots, the stock hits" is of even greater importance. Shotgun shooting is a competitive sport and is therefore aimed at achieving optimum sporting results. The shooter can only achieve these results if he has an ideally tuned piece of sporting equipment in which he has maximum confidence. Before purchasing a sporting shotgun, it is therefore advisable to try out various models and types and obtain expert advice. It is also advisable to test-fire various models before purchasing one's first sporting shotgun. Thus, hunters and sport shooters often have questions about questions before the purchase and so they regularly search the net for tips to find the perfect sporting shotgun.

Therefore, in the following we will introduce you to sporting shotguns that have proven themselves for sport shooters and hunters who practice competitive shooting.

Antonio Zoli Kronos

The Kronos is the basic sporting shotgun of the Italian gun manufacturer Antonio Zoli. Technically, Zoli is said to have taken the prestigious English shotguns as a model. This is reflected in the low profile steel milled base and most importantly the Boss system bolt. Both the trigger and the stock of the double-barreled shotgun feature a slim shape, which is intended to aid handling and thus accuracy when aiming, shooting and hitting the target.
