Nice looking gun, Bob. I recently bought a Beretta 687 SP lll in a 20 gauge that looks just like that and fits me like a glove. And an SP lll in a 12 gauge to go along with it to match. My buddy has a Browning 525 like that that is gorgeous. We both love ours. I keep telling him- Ford vs. Ferrari . 😃

Nice gun!
I shoot those really well - any Browning O/U, really.

I shoot Berettas well, regardless the model. They seem to stock them suitably for me. I may add length to the LOP, but everything else will be close to right. FAIRs are usually okay, too.
Some other Italian O/Us, not so much. Rizzinis, Guerinis, Zolis, all have insufficient drop for me. They all shoot high, which is unacceptable.
My guns have to shoot to the POI that I want them to, or they are no longer my guns.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

A friend of a friend pheasant hunts with one. It outweighs the 12 gauge version.
No thanks.
Best,
Ted

Hey Ted! I've got a 1987 (first year) "Hunter" 16 gauge. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dwfLp0I.png) Like the "Sporting", the Hunter is built on its own 16 gauge frame. At about 6 lbs 10 oz, the Hunter would be the one of these two for the field. The 525 will be a fun Skeet gun. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You ‘be shootin’ registered skeet with a 16, Bob?
Nice guns, hope you kill all the birdies. The 16 I posted about is a bit too close to 7 lbs for my taste. My 16 double (juxtaposed not Superposed) is 6lbs and an ounce or two.
Handy little guy.
Shoot ‘em in good health, Bob.
Best,
Ted

That barrel boring conundrum has always bothered me.
Miroku is a sophisticated enough outfit to make scaled barrel sets in 16 and 28 gauge for the Browning actions.
I’m not saying the extra barrel mass is any kind of a disadvantage on a skeet field. Many shoot tube guns for all 4 gauges that weight 10 lbs.
Just that it always seemed odd to me that their 28ga barrel sets weigh more than their 20’s of same length.
Out there doing it best I can.

Good morning Ted.
Living where one must, another feature that makes these guns very appealing
is that they will shoot steel.
