I see both over unders and single barrels in pics.
What brand and models do they prefer.
Is most of that stuff at that level custom, or is it pretty much the same anybody can buy?
I’m looking more for Brand and Models.
Also, is composite better since it is lighter?
Why spend more on the wood stocks?

For Olympic shotgunning, you may use any type of shotgun, including semi-automatics, as long as it’s no larger than 12 gauge.
Shotguns with magazines must have the magazine blocked so it won’t hold more than one round.
-Release triggers are allowed in USA Shooting (USAS) sanctioned competitions, but USAS rules also note that a competitor using a release trigger can’t compete in any finals rounds, and can’t make the National Team, National Development Team or any USA Shooting Team.
-No slings or straps are allowed.
-As long as your gun is functioning, you can’t swap parts or guns during a given round.
-Compensators and similar devices are allowed for Skeet but prohibited in trap events.
-Barrels may be ported, provided the jury has inspected and approved them, and they meet ISSF requirements.
-Here’s what they say about optical sights: "All devices fitted to the gun, which have magnifying, light emitting forward lead displacement properties or give visual enhancement of the target, are prohibited."

Firearms allowed include any 12-gauge shotgun holding two rounds. Over-and-under designs predominate due to their reliability and durability, having to withstand many tens-of-thousands of rounds fired in practice and competition each year. 12-gauge ammunition used in Olympic events is restricted to a lighter load of lead pellets to further increase the shotgun events’ difficulty. And no, I believe they are custom.
