I'm looking for a new (to me) shotgun. I currently own a pair of 870's, one set up for trap, the other for HD. I shoot trap fairly often and would like to upgrade/try something new, so I focused my search on used 12 ga. O/U. Here's what I found:
1) Browning 425, 30" barrels, adjustable comb, "used but unfired" condition, asking $899.
2) Beretta Silver Snipe 28" barrels, fixed mod/full chokes, like new condition, asking $695
And then something else caught my eye:
3) Winchester Model 12 Take-down, 12 ga, 26" barrel, looks like it was often carried but seldom shot, jeweled bolt and shell carrier (I don't care about the looks but I'm not sure if that means this is a trap/skeet version), asking $575
So here are my questions:
1) What's the difference between the 425 and the current 625's and should I care?
2) What's a good price on that model 12?
3) What are people's impressions/opinions of the Beretta's?
Thanks in advance for the help.
