dunganick Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 in which case to be fair i hate the browning auto, and the beretta range of autp's are a work of art. love shooting my old mans 391. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death from below Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Got an O/U thats OK.......................But I love my 391 Urika synthetic the best. Fits me like a glove and I can hit things with it......and 'cause its synthetic it also comes in handy for banging nails into wood.

squodged Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 For me it's got to be a Beretta Like Bernard Matthews used to say "There beautiful, really beautiful!" I shoot a Beretta 682 12g Gold 29 1/2 barrel with an adjustable comb. I used to shoot a Miroku 12G MK60 30 inch Grade1 Game F/C but it used to kick me like a mule so I chopped it.

Wookie Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 The Silver Pigeon v fits me like a glove and is the most beautiful gun on the planet. So I vote Beratta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beretta Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 you dont get much rust on berettas. ive had one for 23 years now, its a 687. things needed in this time. 1 new ejector. 3 ejector springs. 1 firing pin. 2 enertia springs. new barrells. old ones were swollen at the barrels so much the chokes would not seat, just rattle. over 250.000 cartridges through to date and still going strong. hows that.

garyb Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Beretta for me... I can't pick up a Browning, I'm always looking down the left And unfortunately I have seen more than twice my Browning owning friends, pull the trigger just to hear click on the bottom barrel - which I'm led to believe is not uncommon on a Browning O/U, the gunsmith said "Ohh bottom barrel browning syndrome" But each to there own.

Whitebridges Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Browning for me, purely on the basis they fit/suit me better. I shoot a 525 and these don't rust. I've owned 686 and 687's before which were both nice guns but I didn't shoot well with either. Owned a Teknys auto for a bit and it was a peach of a gun. Horses for courses really.

2nd Barrel Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I cannot shoot a Beretta O/U - I simply can't get them to fit and am forever getting smacked in the face. So my O/U is a Browning. However I shoot best with my semi-auto which is a Beretta AL390, so figure that out. I think it's because there are the shims to adjust the stock so precisely that i've just managed to get it right.

They are both mass produced guns, they both suffer from monday morning friday afternoon guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trakker01 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 the beretta is a better shape i.m.o, but aint they the same gun....:look: unless ya go to a modern etreema!! still i'd have a franchi, better balance & weight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
