The idea that there is something wrong with a Browning or a Beretta O/U gun because the gun does not fit you, is total nonsense. Any well versed shotgun shooter knows that the two guns have differently designed stocks and if a Beretta will not fit you, 99% of the time a Browning will and vice versa.
This is one of the very first things that a Clays shooter is taught. It is a basic part of clays instruction, not a myth, a fact. Unless you want to spend thousands of dollars to make a Beretta into a Browning by having a custom stock made, you just buy the Browning to start with, or the opposite, just buy the Beretta if it fits you.
There is nothing really wrong with either gun, it is very much the same old discussion about Fords and Chevy.
My experience with the Beretta is such that I have owned six and now own two 391 Gold Sporting guns but not a single Beretta O/U gun. I also do not own any modern Browning auto guns and own eight Citori guns. The Citori fits me and I carry them all over the world to places where high volume wing shooting is the purpose. In 12 years as a Clays shooter and many, many trips to far and away places, my Citori guns have never failed to function, perfectly.
I simply can not say the same for my Benelli guns or the Beretta O/U guns, neither make or any model do I own, any longer.
