I have an old Antonio Zoli U/O that I brought second hand for five eighths of fuck all and I shoot DTL with it very well

Exactly what he said

Back in the UK I could clear a round of skeet and then go and smash 25/25 on the dtl at our old club witha Benelli supernova pump. Use to raise a few eyebrows from the old buggers with their kreighoffs. All comes down to putting lead/steel down the barrels often.

Grew up on a farm where a mate of the family runs a shooting school in the UK. Gent that runs it is great at helping people with this sort of question and his advice is always 'try, try and then try again'.

My opinion grew from his advice and it is that price is immaterial - if it fits you and you get on with it then that is the one you should have.
