I have a Silver Pigeion I, 12 gauge, 28 inch. Very lightly used.
Putting out a feeler for a trade for a Duck Gun.
Let me know what you have.

Before I go out and buy a set of tubes, etc., there are three things I want to do:
1. Put a bunch of rounds through this Browning at the Trap and Skeet range
2. Put some more rounds through it
3. THEN decide what I want to do.
Oh yeah, and now I am looking at and debating the purchase of a DT-11 sporting gun just for giggles.

We have a lot of enthusiasm around here for CG and Beretta. No Browning vendors?

Good to know PJDiesel, thanks!
Plenty of Brownings to check out somewhat locally, depends on where you are coming from.
Largest local (volume/selection) dealer used to be Millers up in New Castle. Luckily, word is they are on their last legs and soon to be out of business. There is a new shop just down the road from them now (next to Hooters). Brand new build, beautiful shop, decent amount of inventory and they don't treat you like a smacked dick if you are there to browse/ask questions.
Mollys also, great store but a little high on price. I buy most of my guns from Reeds Family Outdoors, cheapest you'll find.
These Beretta guys are something else.....
Always interested in helping folks who actually want to break targets..... rather than shoot at some random upland birds once a year with an ill fitting Beretta.
There are people who think Browning are the less universally fitting of the two.
I could shoot a factory Beretta O/U with about an additional full inch of drop at heel, no clue how people mount and shoot them out of the box. Women and children maybe,... not a grown up man.
The Beretta actually fits me better than the Browning. The Browning has a shorter LOP.
IMHO
2 things:
1.Try a Beretta and a Browning. They fit differently and chances are if one fits the other won't. Make sure you get an adjustable comb.
2. Consider 32" barrels. When you try to sell (and you will in a year or so when you see a Guerini you like), 32" barrels will sell faster and command a slight premium over 30" ones.
Hard to go wrong with a Silver Pigeon or a 725 (although if you intend to tube it for skeet, the 725 may have trigger issues.)
