What makes a trap gun different than a non-trap gun? Trap Guns are made to take care of the natural rise of a trap target. Because trap targets are ALWAYS going up, trap guns are made to shoot above where you\u2019re looking, to take of the vertical movement. Non-trap guns will shoot where you\u2019re looking causing the pattern to be below the rising target. To do well with a non-trap gun the shooter usually has to hide the target (shoot over it) in order to hit it consistently. Now we know why. Let\u2019s start to eliminate some of our 10 shotguns. This has nothing do with quality or price. It\u2019s about the correct equipment for trap shooting.<\/p>\n

List of Top 10 Trap Shooting Shotguns for the Money<\/h1>\n

#1<\/strong>\"Fabarm<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Fabarm Axis RS 12 Trap AT<\/h3>\n

5 out of 5<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

This has it all. It\u2019s made to shoot trap. Adjustable comb, adjustable high rib on an unsingle barrel (uses the lower barrel only on what would normally be an Over and Under. This reduces recoil considerably, compared to guns using top single barrels. This absolutely takes the barrel out of play. You can see all around with no obstructions. Most popular design in single barrel trap guns. Nice trigger (also adjustable). You can move it forward and back to fit your hand. Low recoil. Fabarm has discontinued this gun. They\u2019ve replaced it in 2022 with the Elos N2 All Sport Type-T.<\/em><\/p>\n

#2<\/strong>\"TriStar<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

TriStar Arms TT-15 Trap DT Adjustable<\/h3>\n

5 out of 5<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

This one has all the features you want in a true trap shotgun. Adjustable comb, adjustable high rib on the Un-Single barrel platform, and a recoil reduction system.<\/em><\/p>\n

#3<\/strong>\"Savage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Savage Arms Stevens 555 Trap<\/h3>\n

5 out of 5<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a \u201ctop single\u201d. This gun mimics The Browning BT99, which is probably one of the most popular trap guns ever made (it\u2019s still available). Unfortunately, with the advent of the Un-Single barrel configuration, the top singles have fallen out of favor. It\u2019ll take care of time on the trap field, just fine.<\/em><\/p>\n

#4<\/strong>\"Winchester<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Winchester SXP Trap<\/h3>\n

5 out of 5<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a Slide Action (pump shotgun) trap gun. It\u2019s certainly set up for trap shooting. At the end of then day. You\u2019ll know you\u2019ve been there. Pump guns are usually light weight. Recoil is a factor. Fun may not be as much fun as you hoped it would. It will do the job. On the target and probably on YOU\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

#7<\/strong>\"Browning<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Browning Citori 725 Pro Sporting<\/h3>\n

5 out of 5<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

This one is a nice crossover gun. It\u2019s dubbed a Sporting Clays shotgun. But, because it has a factory adjustable comb, it can easily be adjusted to shoot like a trap gun. Guns with adjustable combs can easily be adjusted to shoot trap properly. They don\u2019t swing like a trap shotgun but you can set the point of impact to shoot like a trap gun.<\/em><\/p>\n

Remington 870 Express Trap<\/h3>\n

5 out of 5<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the Winchester SXP Trap. It\u2019s a pump gun. Shoots like a trap gun if you\u2019re lucky enough that it shoots where it should for trap. Kicks\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
