I have owned both the Browning and the Beretta both shot very good. If I was going to buy one today I would go with the Beretta. It felt the best shooting for me. I like the chokes for the Beretta better.

I purchased a Ruger Wanger it definitely is on the cheap side less than 200, but I really never heard anyone say it was junk. Really fun gun to shoot, sights seemed to be dead on, the whole family really enjoys shooting it on range days
