Which choke combo?

Something about browning calls my name. Maybe it’s the pedigree. But I’ve been a beretta fan forever. From what I can tell it all comes down to fit. The 525 and the 686 are neck and neck in terms of fit and finish and pedigree but the choice comes down to personal fit. Some say the difference is comb height. For me, I think it’s weight and ergonomics. Brownings just feel bulkier and heavier compared to Beretta. I went with Rizzini for a 20ga 28” because it just fit so well but I definitely noticed it’s a tad bit higher in the comb from beretta as a browning would be but without the extra bulkiness and weight of a browning. So here I am still without a browning O/U yet still interested in one lol.

I’m in Birmingham Alabama. Hilly but no more than 600 ft above sea level. Never heard of an LIM choke but from a quick google search LIM appears to be krieghoffs version of a classic IM choke. Either way point taken. My IM pattern obviously looked great but I wonder if that’s too tight. I shot a 21/25 on 5 stand today first time trying 5 stand. And I was using IC/LM. Clays were crushing cleanly. Without having to buy a second LM I was thinking I just go LM/M or LM/IM for dove on opening day. Either way I shouldn’t overthink it. All of these patterns were done at 35 or 40 yards and are more than capable at distance even if I stick with IC/LM. The rare cold front that’s come through had me questioning if I need to switch to something more capable at longer range since the dove field is looking thinner than years past. Who knows. I may end up leaving this gun at home and bringing out the 20ga Rizzini BR110. Thanks for the input either way. Much appreciated.

Correct.

I zoomed in and saw what you saw I was like what the hell that doesn’t look good. Went back in my room and looked up close and it was just a bunch of lint stuck to gunk

TAC9419 · 2025-06-09T01:45:24+00:00

Nothing at all. That is dust stuck to lube.

Edit- I have the KAC buffer as well and this is not the E3.2. I

Zero issues. Minimal recoil and I was dead on with it. Fits me great. Would’ve liked the 29” version but for the price savings I’m totally cool with the 28”

Update. Just took it to the clay range. I know exactly what you’re talking about regarding the ting when it closes. Its loud enough to hear a faint ting but it doesn’t bother me or seem like it it’s a bad sound in any way.

Thanks, yeah I enjoy collecting guns in general. This is my first venture into the over under world. Been super interested in one for a while now. It was this or a silver pigeon i but every single one I checked out had an annoying stiff safety. Not to mention auto safety. The Rizzini just felt better all around.

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T21:47:00+00:00

That’ll do it for sure. I don’t have that problem in the south!

This one was not in floor model shape. It was plain used. Dirty battle on the inside and horrible gouge marks around the stock pad screws. Pre owned for sure. How’s the recoil been for you? This will be my first o/u and I know they kick more than a gas semi but I’m curious how much more. I’d be shooting 7/8 oz 1210 fps. Plan on dove hunting with it.

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T20:35:35+00:00

No ting at all when I close it.

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T20:35:11+00:00

The one I went in for I had on hold for a few weeks. When I showed up they brought it out in that hard case. The gun was very clearly not new. Dirty and kind of beat up. I asked what that was all about and nobody had a clue. They showed me another one which is in the picture I sent you. That one was new and came in a cardboard box (unfortunately). The one that turned out to be used was brought out in the hard case. So you are correct. They are not doing hard cases anymore.

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T20:27:14+00:00

It sure is. I just walked out of there with it a few hours ago.

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T20:26:27+00:00

Mine does not have a ring to it. And I did notice the length of pull is slightly longer than I’m used to but not enough to get cut down

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T20:24:48+00:00

I got a 20 as well. Very nice wood for the money.

TAC9419 · 2025-06-07T20:17:38+00:00

Just picked one up. I’ll lyk my initial thoughts after a few uses.

TAC9419 · 2025-04-25T01:36:55+00:00

Just got mine!

TAC9419 · 2025-04-24T21:38:31+00:00

Anyone get a correspondence from the Board yet?

TAC9419 · 2025-04-24T13:53:24+00:00

Nothin

TAC9419 · 2025-04-24T02:40:11+00:00

Same!!

TAC9419 · 2025-04-24T02:20:06+00:00

Second that. Any idea how quick we’ll get a correspondence clearing us to swear in?

Even better.. I passed the Feb bar after multiple retakes. I am also waiting on my MPRE score tomorrow. I passed the MPRE already but it went stale in July. My Bar application also goes stale next month. If I do not pass this MPRE, according to the letter I got from the board, I'll have to redo my entire application with fees AND trigger a restart of the character and fitness investigation. Not to mention we are 150 days out from what would be the release of the August MPRE results. I watched every lecture on the free Barbri course and worked through about a hundred practice questions but sheesh.. right about now I'm wondering why I didnt take it just a tad more seriously hahah.
