Beretta 692 vs Browning 725 for sporting clays - anyone shot both extensively?
I'm looking to upgrade from my A400 to a dedicated sporting O/U and have narrowed it down to the Beretta 692 and Browning 725. I shoot mostly sporting clays, 100-200 targets weekly. My local club has both in stock but I'm torn - the 692 feels a bit more lively but the 725 seems more stable on follow-through. Anyone have real-world experience with both?

I've owned both - shot the 692 for two seasons before switching to a 725. The 692 is definitely quicker handling, which I liked on fast crossers, but the 725's balance point gave me better consistency on long-range targets, especially report pairs. If you're shooting 200 targets weekly, I'd lean toward the 725 - the inertia trigger system seems to hold up better to high round counts. What's your current LOP and drop on the A400? That might help determine which O/U will fit you better without major adjustments.
