Here are my thoughts...Looking at the Browning CX White and the 725 sporting for an all around O/U.
Thoughts on the 2?
Wouldn’t mind buying used but not sure where to find them. Looked at IGC.
What are some of the other sites that you visit for sporting shotguns?
Any of the three you mentioned, the 725, CX, or 686 are all fine guns. I'm partial to Browning as they seem to fit me a better than Beretta does. With either brand, they hold their value well so long as you take care of it. Only you can decide which one is best for you.I’ve been to IGC a couple of weeks ago and mounted several to see which would fit me the best. The Browning 725, CX, and Beretta 686 SP all fit me well. I did like the CX with the slightly shorter LOP. I did not try a 694 as they did not have any used and new would be out of my budget. Wanting to stay sub $3500. First time getting into clays and trying to dip the toes instead of head first.
IGC was great to work with and if I end up buying new they will get my business! And if something used hits their shelves that fits my bill I will buy there as well. But Waiting is not one of my strong suits.
