Rifleman22 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I am thinking of updating/upgrading one of my 12gauge guns I use for clays, its been a while since purchased a new gun, therefore I would welcome any advice from owner experience as to which model I should invest in, (unfortunately I cannot afford both)!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Why do you see it as an investment? Any mid range modern shotgun will not go up in value. Have you had either makes before? If you have stay with that make if it fits, Berettas and Brownings are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Might pay you to go to a shooting school where you can try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 The 725 is often seen as Browning's attempt to build a gun with an Italian gun feel and in my hands they managed it. There have been some issues with the 725 triggers which were changed from the previous design to simulate mechanical triggers. My experiences with Berettas and GMK has been pretty dismal, but I hear the 694 is somewhat more worthy of the name. Whatever others say I don't think these 2 are as different as chalk and cheese. In other words if you can shoot one you can shoot the other, so therefore I'd say choose the one that appeals more to your senses and your wallet.

In this particular case I would interpret the words "invest in" to mean "spend money wisely on, in order to get something suitable" rather than the literal meaning of hoping the value will accumulate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
