Popplecop,
I have had many Browning O/U's, used most of them for shooting doubles in Trap, I now have two Brownings I use specifically for 5 stand Sporting Clays .
I tried a couple Beretta O/U's but the fit was not as good as the Brownings.
So I use what works best for me and that is a Browning 525 Sporting Clays
model with the Adjustable Stock and my backup gun is a Browning XS Special
also with an adjustable stock. Both guns are great performers and work very
well with reasonable care. The barrel rusting issue was a good while back, they now chrome line all their barrels so rusting is no longer a problem. I
can not say anything bad about them really, other than a few of my trap
version guns had galling on the reciever mating surfaces. The more recent
models say in the past 10 years dont seem to do that anymore from what I have seen. Browning seems to be making a good product as of current.
Regards 6.5
