    I have owned everything from a Ljutic Dynokic to Browning BT-100 to BT-99's but never an Unsingle as my main Trap gun . I am only 1.5 hrs drive from Joel Etchens guns and they sell their Signature Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III Deluxe in a Unsingle only or you can buy the combo . Currently shooting a BT-99 with adjustable comb and want to move up , the Etchen Unsingle sells for $4700.00 .

    Last summer I shot my friends TriStar Turkish made Unsingle and did fine with it , appeared to have less recoil and with the high rib target acquisition was much better and I like the more straight up shooting posture .
    Anyone using an Unsingle as your main singles and handicap gun , any canting issues ? I am not crazy about the look of a Unsingle but for me it is about comfort and breaking more birds . Thanks

    ...the best buy is a good,clean well cared gun..one that has been taken of and not abused or altered in negative ways like so many trap guns are, .get more gun for the $.......under barrels get more inline to the shoulder seems to help with recoil..also helps quicker visual of the target .lots of opinions on this subject....(..joel is good guy to do business with)

    I am hopeful about visualizing the target quicker with my old eyes , it was between a Krieghoff KX-6 Special and the Beretta , think I'm going with the Beretta and will save about $3500.00 . Thanks

    I’ve shot an unsingle browning 725 for a lot of my shooting career, shot an mx15, another higher ribbed 725 unsingle and now a KX6 Special. I have enjoyed them all and I’m sure you would enjoy any of your choices. When looking at the Beretta, be aware of the barrel regulation as they have been questionable in the past. The KX6S I would have you be critical of the roll over comb. Some guys love it, others can’t do it. I couldn’t do it

    KX 6 special has a much nicer trigger assemble in my opinion. Love the roll over comb. At our age you can't take it with you. Go for the best.
