Not only do you have to plan on keeping the gun a lifetime, but you have to plan on shooting a crapton of shells out of it to have things wear out on these high end o/u guns.

Incredible how many people try to shoot right handed and yet try to line up their left eye with with the rib of the gun.
Cross-eye dominant?
Better is to switch hands.
Actually puts the dominant hand on the fore grip for better gun control.
Better than forcing to the non-dominant eye.
So you had a very solid Beretta 680 something and sold it for a CG? Wow!

I agree with Pinecone. A friend of mine was shooting right handed for years and could never break 20. He took a class with one of the instructors at the club and found out he was left eye dominant. The instructor had him shoot left handed and he never looked back. It took him a few months to get the hang of it but he is now crushing it on the skeet field.
Yes, I know this. Went through it with my sister when she was in her 20's. She was able to switch to her left hand easily. My 9 year old is giving me grief about it and he would rather try the painted sunglass lens. Yep, I know it will suck to wear the glasses while we are out hunting because it will be harder for him to pick up additional birds and he will lose depth perception.
This has a component of child rearing in it too. I don't usually force my "wisdom" on my kids. For example, we had to go to my 11 year old's choral.concert then other day. The 6 year old wanted to wear a dress but when I suggested she wear leggings with it because it was cold.oit, she did not want to. I did not argue with her. I let her go outside without leggings. Guess what happened? Before we even got to the truck she was asking me of she could go back inside and put on leggings. It is going to be the same way with this entire shooting issue. I will let him try it with the lens colored black. Hopefully, when he is not killing much or breaking much, he will ask to try shooting left handed. Otherwise, I will suggest it again later on down the road.
I am curious; I see shooters here who have said a Browning fits them but not a Beretta and vice versa. Has anyone ever tried a Caesar Guerini that would not fit them??

A small piece of Scotch tape, on the lens to just block the dominant eye from seeing the bead is all that is needed.
I used that with a lot of women, who do not have a true dominant eye.
Little side note for those interested...Cabelas has Herters target and game shells on sale for $4.97/box with free shipping >$50. No tax if you pick up in store.
Good practice ammo for those throwing lead at clays.

Looks like I'm making a trip to Gainesville. Thanks.
Great tip!
I would shoulder both the Beretta and the Browning before purchasing. The Browning fit me whereas the Beretta did not. The Caesar Guerini is a nice gun but above the budget you listed. Jack Bart is a Caesar Guerini elite dealer and is in MD. You can meet him at one of the skeet ranges in Md. and shoot one if you like.
This. Go through Joel Etchen for a Beretta or speak with August Crocker about a Caesar Guerini.
It was a tough decision for me but ended up with a CG and couldn’t be happier.
So I ended up getting a Browning CXS and being fitted by Jack Bart. I am happy with the results so far.
Goodness that wood is gorgeous
