It is, right up until something has to be shot
I have a bunch of shotguns in all possible configurations and gauges. They are all field guns, nothing particularly special (a CZ sxs, Browning A5, Citori o/u, an 870, a few .410's, old family guns I don't shoot, etc.) and I can say that nothing beats pulling the trigger as much as possible...no guns is a magic wand; what feels good in the store may not be best in the field.
We've had folks come to the farm to shoot with the most spectacular shotguns, beautiful iron. And it generally works out to about 20 out of 25 clays, regardless of the gun, unless they shoot all the time.
My son will average 22 of 25 with an 870 Express youth model 20 gauge pump I bought from a friend for $150.00 ten years ago.
About the same with the A5 and Citori.
It is like golf equipment, play more
