NorfolkAYA Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 If both of these guns fit, what would people spend there money on?. Pros and cons? ATB pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankook1 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 its just personal preference they are both good guns ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Thing is they probably both wouldn't fit. One would be better than the other in that department. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I prefer Beretta but the Brownings usually have better grade wood. Best deal would be the deciding factor for me if both fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I went from Beretta 686E , Which I loaned to my son, through, 'Pedretti', 'Remington', 'Hatsan', and back to another Beretta (urika 2, 391A) The 686E is now back in the cabinet alongside the 391A, My choice 100%, The 686E gives me Clays, Pheasants (game days) and performes like a new gun even though its over 15 years old, The 391A gives me pigeons , rabbits ,crows, (general vermin shooting) where that 3rd cartridge often makes all the difference. Quality always wins in the end, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Funny, I went from a 686e to a b525, I couldn't hit a thing with the 686. Try before you buy, and get the one that fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbel Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 had new silver pigeon liked but probs with ejecting sometimes sent back to fix,meanwhile used my friends 525 sporter this to me felt right so swapped berretta for 525 sporter and no regrets .

MR. BROWN Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have owned and enjoyed a Beretta 682 Sporter for a long time ( also own 3 other Beretta 'safe Queens' ) I recently bought a Browning 725 Grade 5 Sporter online and was disappointed with the finish - droopy leftside drop point and a misaligned butt pad, BOTH BY A LONG WAY ! Also recently pickup a Miroku 70 Grade 5 that needs to go back for warranty - ejection / timing issue. .... the Browning and Miroku guns come from the same factory; quality control does not match Beretta. Additionally, Berettas come with a beaut case .... the Browning does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Shoot both one will feel and shoot better buy that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 The above in a nutshell. For me 525's come up flat and silver pigs like a trap gun showing lots of rib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewh100 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 yeah i would go with the Beretta i have the 687 cracking gun just a pity my lad is better with it than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Try them both - totally different feel IMHO and you need to find which one suits you - I would say, however, that the 525 seems far better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 The quality of either is no better than the other. They’re both mass produced and some will have faults and qc issues. As ive said if you like both buy the one like Welsh warrior said feels the best when you shoot it. If both feel good buy the cheapest.

grrclark Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 As has been said many times there is no right or wrong answer, just the answer that is right for you. Both are very good guns and neither is a bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry78 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I sold my new silver pigeon lovely gun but im a tall sod the beretta stock to low for me end up buying new browning A5 fits great Try both out be my advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 525 for me as the silver pig just doesn't fit and I tried lots of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitester Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Browning is less thumpy than the berreta but there's no real difference. I went for the browning because it fitted me better and the entry level wood looks nicer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-d Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 i tried both and found i shot better with the browning so that's what i stuck with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
