The citori 12 bore I owned was noticeably heavier in the barrels than the supposedly identical Browning 425 I had. I am assuming that the Browning 425 was designated for the European market and balanced similar to a Browning B25. My order of preference would be the European marketed 425 then the 687 game model and lastly the citori . Of the three ,from memory, the citori had the most drop and the beretta the least. The European 425 in fixed choke model was very similar to the Miroku MK60 in weight and balance and much like the more expensive B25 superposed models. If you were looking for B25 handling for Beretta money I would recommend the Miroku MK60.
