When I started shooting skeet and sporting clays 15 years ago, I started with a Browning Citori 12 ga., but I found the Browning to be "clubby". My second sport specific shotgun was a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon Sporting 12 ga, and I wish I had that gun back. I had a guy walk up and offer me $300 more than I paid for it, and I let him take it home. I don't shoot as much as I used to, and I have used my Benelli Super 90 for the last several years. I also have a Beretta 686 Onyx 12 ga with an English stock, but I am quite comfortable with my Benelli for an all around shotgun.

I am not knocking Brownings, and I have no experience with the newer "sporting" models. The older Citoris do not fit me though.
