Trap/Skeet/Sporting clay advise

Good day to all. I am very new to Trap/Skeet/Sporting clay shooting and need advise that you all have probably talked about a lot. I have a Stoeger 12ga, OU 26in. I have shot both trap and skeet once, but find myself after talking to people and reading and watching video's that I long for something different. I think the Stoeger will suffice for now, but never was satisfied with "will suffice". I need some more advice that will confuss me. Ya see I am an older fella and get confussed quite easily. Anyway. I would really appreciate some input on a gun. I would like to stay OU, but have heard a lot about Brownings, Winchesters, Benelli's etc.
Please help with a little advice.
Thanks and really look forward to the future talks.
Ray (Msgt)

U
skeet/trap

I'd be inclined to stick with 12g -- even 7/8oz loads will work for skeet and 16yard trap -- almost recoil free.

I'd say you can be happy with any of these fine o/u guns in the $2-3k price range-

Browning Citori 625 (heavier weight, traditional)
Browning Cynergy (lighter, more modern)
Beretta 686
Caesar Guerini Summit Sporting

30 or 32" barrells

Check out the website of each of these 3 manufacturers for details.
