    Very interesting. My son has the silver pigeon , I have the 525. I can’t hit a thing with the beretta and he struggles with the 525. I have weighed both and they are identical. It comes down to personal preference

      Thank you for your comment although it doesn't seem very jolly😂. Both guns in the review were weighed and there was 4.6 ounces difference between the Browning and the Beretta (the Beretta being heavier). Please understand that all guns are going to vary slightly in terms of weight due to barrel weight and wood density. Kind regards, Matthew

    I’ve had my silver pigeon 1 field, 12 gauge with 30 inch barrels, for three years and I love it for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. Recently my friend got a browning 725 citori sporting and I shot it at several sporting clay stations. I liked it very much. It actually felt lighter on the front end and was easier to move especially left to right (I’m right handed). They’re both very nice shotguns, and frankly preferences for one or the other will be very subjective. Note: my Beretta came with a terrible hard and thin butt pad, which I replaced with a limb saver brand, and it truly transformed the gun.

    And the winner is Miroku, dollar to dollar the browning is far more gun, hand finished, hand cut chequering, nicer wood, better finished, adjustable trigger, shoots just as well, nothing wrong with a 686 but for what you get its pricey, excellent production on these new ventures of yours Matt, well done

    Absolutely superb video Matt. I learned to shoot with predominantly 525's. I had every intention of buying one as my first gun until I mounted a 694, which I purchased there and then due to fit.
    That said my son now has a silver pigeon sporter as his first gun. It's a lovely fitting gun that shot on the same stand against a 525 I prefer the Beretta. The Browning owners prefer their Brownings however. To the point where some say fit doesn't matter you'll adapt to what you shoot....

    • @eastfieldgunroom

    Great review Matt,
    It’s definitely a minefield out there with specifications for what brand shooters love to use,
    I personally love the 525 as I have two of them,
    I feel the best plan of action especially for new shooters is get either gun fitted to them and go from there but overall both guns are basically the best at a very reasonable price.

    • @eastfieldgunroom

    I had not shot for around 30 years, shot 82 out of 100 with the Beretta. Felt good from the start, nice gun. 4 weeks later tried a Browning citori, didn't hit half the clays. Felt wrong from the start. I am of practice so its not all the guns fault. But
    I found the 686 more part of me.

    I found that the Beretta Silver Pigeon was more comfortable for me compared to the Browning Citori CX. I sold my Browning Citori CX and got the Beretta Silver Pigeon. The Silver Pigeon swings better and is more balanced at least in my experience. Before I arrived at my decision, I was able to try the Silver Pigeon out at the local Sporting Clays Course near where i live. Fortunately, their rentals guns were all Beretta Silver Pigeon Ones. The Browning Citory CX was heavy. I was busting more clays when using my Beretta Silver Pigeon compared to the Browning Citori CX.

    Use to for years shoot a Browning GTS. And did incredibly well with it. 2 years ago bought a 725 as why not. But the weight and balance just dont suit me. Just now completely changed over to a Beretta 690. As you mention the weight and stock dimensions is critical. Both good guns. But it needs to suit the Shooter.

    great to see another video Matthew, always informative and entertaining, I am looking to get my son a gun to join me and Mel, he is similar dimensions to yourself, I was thinking of getting an adjustable stock as he has a longish neck but you seem to manage a standard stock, on a side note you are looking very trim these days, I do hope it is not down to stress, also when are the Eastfield merch hitting the shelves ?. thanks Mervyn

    • @eastfieldgunroom
      @eastfieldgunroom  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your comment Mervyn, I hope you are well. To be completely honest I struggle with normal specification sporter stocks as it hurts my neck when I shoot them, hence the fact I shoot guns with monte carlo stocks or trap guns whenever possible. I would certainly suggest that your son will need something adjustable. As for my 'trim' appearance lets just put it down to a lot of life changes. Drop me an email regarding gun options. Kind regards to you both. Matthew

    The Browning Citori 3 1/2-inch magnum weighs around 8 lbs. 3 ounces with 30-inch tubes, and the Beretta Silver Pigeon weighs about 7lbs 12 ounces! To each his own so far as a gun's shoot-ability is concerned! I own two Citoris. One of the 3 1/2-inch magnums, that I shoot at most anything! I bought it because someone bought the gun to shoot 3 1/2-inch shells, and after firing it and feeling the pain, sold it to me brand new for a song! I have never shot anything, but 2 3/4-inch loads in it, and the extra weight really dampens the recoil as well! I also have a Citori that is the Hunter Model, which has the wonderful addition in my book of the Classic Beavertail Forearm! It really helps with recoil as well! As long as guns are made, they'll be someone attempting to influence what we buy! Oh, I had a Silver Pigeon once. I thought that it kicked like a mule! So, try a gun out first, before you hit the... "ADD TO CART" button!"
    Great Video!

    • @WilliamSirman

      I agree whole heartedly! I have loved the gun since I bought it! I like the fact that it's a tad bit over built! I would never shoot 3 1/2-inch shells though! I have patterned a 3 1/2-inch Browning Gold with everything from a 2 3/4-inch load, all the way to a similar (Shot Size) shell in 3 1/2- inch magnum, the extra shot did not adequate to more shot on the target! Just more pain in the shoulder and more pain in the wallet!@@FYMM69

      Thank you for your comment. I can categorically confirm that the 525 in the video is a Sporter One model. It is quite clear from the thumbnail that the barrels of the gun are vented. In addition Browning went through a period of producing Sporter Ones with neither a centrebead nor an adjustable trigger. The gun in the video is a 2014 so please feel free to research this particular year of gun. Kind regards, Matthew
