Beretta 694 vs Browning 725 for sporting clays - anyone shot both extensively?
I'm a serious sporting clays shooter averaging 90+ at my local club. Currently shooting a Caesar Guerini Summit but considering an upgrade. I've handled both the Beretta 694 and Browning 725 in the shop - love the 694's balance but the 725's trigger feels crisper. Looking for real-world experience on how they handle through a full 100-target course, especially on long crossers and true pairs.

I've owned both - shot the 725 for two seasons before switching to a 694 last year. The 694's lower profile receiver and slightly forward balance point work better for me on sustained leads, especially on station 8's long crosser. The 725's trigger is indeed excellent, but the 694's adjustable comb and stock shims let me dial in the fit perfectly for my 14.75" LOP. Both are fantastic guns - have you considered trying them with your current chokes to see how they pattern with your usual 1-1/8oz #8 loads at 1200fps?
