Traded Beretta for Browning.

[h2ofowlr]

I traded my Beretta White Onyx 686 .12 gauge for a Browning XS Sporting Clays, w/ 32" barrels in .20 gauge.  It was a straight across trade and both guns were in great shape.  Was it a good move?  Not sure yet.  Always wanted a lighter gauge for sporting clays and birds.

What's the general consensus?  Was it a good trade?

Never liked a beretta anything so I'd say yes,not real sure about 32" barrells for shooting birds with though.

well I love berettas.

dollars to doughnuts I bet a 12gauge onyx weighs less than a 20 gauge browning sporting clays with long tubes... but your gonna love those 32" barrels!

h20 you got a great deal and came out on top by a couple hundred I would wager.

send me a pm if you ever want to unload that browning.

My body (thick chest, short arms) much prefers Browning O/U to Berettas.
Berettas are pretty, have more delicate dimensions, and have a god reputation for quality.
Brownings are (mostly) beautiful, well made and robust, heavier(soaks up more on the clays line), and a piece of Americana.
I am shifting more toward 20ga for both hunting and clay sports, and unless really competing where a 12 puts more pellets out the barrel, don't feel like I want to go back.
