I'm getting ready to buy my first side by side shotgun.
I've located a Winchester M-23 Pigeon Grade Lightweight (25.5" Barrels) in 12ga in about 99% metal and 97-98% wood and a NIB Browning B-SS Sporter (Straight Grip w/slender forearm, 28" Barrels) in 12 ga. Virtually the same price but very different guns.
Now the question, which is the better shotgun, the Browning BSS or the Winchester Model 23?
