Question: what is the difference between a sporting and trap shotgun?
Answer: Sporter guns usually weigh between 7.1/2lb and 7.3/4lb. These guns shoot closer to point of aim than a trap gun, are less tightly choked (1/4 and 1/4 being the norm in a fixed-choke), and their handling and balance are designed for fast swinging. Trap guns are designed for trap shooting and many weight over 8lb.
