TJ,

I was biting my tongue trying not to reply to this thing, but then there was your post.

I won't buy another Browning unless they are owned by Beretta and made in one of the Beretta factories. Quality control and craftsmanship might be somewhat decent at that point. Of course, customer service would be a lot better just by Beretta owning Browning.

Beretta would probably never end up owning Browning, but that is fine with me too because I am really happy with my Beretta guns and the ones that I had problems with were taken care of by Beretta.

As far as the recoil reducer in the stock is concerned on the Browning, the easiest way to see the size of the bolt hole in the stock is to take the recoil pad off, which in the newer Berettas merely requires the pull of a lever. I have no idea how to take the recoil pad off the Cynergy, but if it is like the older recoil pads, it will be held on by two screws.
