Browning, Browning, Browning, I've heard the name so much in my life, that I have actually become a Browning hater. I'm just sick of hearing the name from mostly people that are generally ignorant of guns and the quality thereof. Oh, they rant and rave how superior Browning is over any other gun, it just makes me sick. It's clear they have never spent any time hanging around a skeet range and seen the newbies come out with their new Browning A5's to start shooting skeet and most break or have some malfunction before they get through the first round. Well, I'll tell you, if it turns out that they really like the sport, it isn't long before they would buy a Remington 1100, like 90% of the regular shooters out there shot with, because of the recoil factor and they just never broke down.
I can remember the club putting one 1100 through a torture test to see how many rounds could be put through it before a jam or malfunction. Now, this gun was taken new out of the box, and handed to everyone who needed or wanted to shoot it. It still sticks in my mind the number 548 as the correct amt before a stove pipe occurred, and then another 500+ before another stovepipe, at which time the gun was finally cleaned. No Browning lovers need to try this test to compare the two guns, because I can assure you it will be a test in "futility"!
A friend that works in a local gun shop is just as sick of the Browning bull, that he hears every day, as I am. Don't get me wrong, Browning builds good guns, but there are many brands as good and some just a lot better.
I guess I am considered a rebel in most things or situations, like I always vote for the underdog, bet on the horse with the longest odds, and shy away from the generally considered "Best" items, so don't hold it against me...it's just my nature.
Thanks, I've been wanting to get that out for a long time and you Browning lovers...give it a rest!
