OK Shotgunners!

After Shooting at a range this weekend, comparing the following O/U models:

Winchester Supreme Select, Field
Remington Model 332
Browning Citori 535 Field

I rounded down my choice to the Browning Citori 525 Field 12 ga with 28" barrol. This would be used for upland, maybe some clays, and just an all around shotgun. Hopefully I will hear positive feedback to make my final selection easier but I am welcoming all opinions and comments. Please give me your thoughts on this specific Browning.

Thanks All

I have not shot Citori 525, but it looks like a good gun. What did you think of the Remington & Winchester over/unders?

The Supreme Select felt nice in my hands and was sweet. I did not have any complaints about it. I only fired a few rounds from the Remington 332. I was not as impressed with the 332 and it just did not fit me well. The Browning felt like quality even before I lefted it up my shoulder. I shot it for about an hour. The shoulder was a bit soar but I liked it a lot. I am very open minded still, this will be my first shotgun but thus far, I am leaning towards the Browning.

In my humble opinion I would opt for the three you described in this order: Browning, Browning, Browning, and Browning! The other two would come as a close next and last with the Winchester just ever so slightly ahead of the Remington. I believe Winchester significantly improved thier Supreme from what thier first intorduction was, and I saw nothing about the Remington that got MY blood pressure up any. It is a 332, not a 32. I'm not a big 32 or 3200 fan anyhow. The 525 is somewhat more money than the Winchester and Remington and I think you will get what you pay for. That said, I looked at several 525s recently and one I fondled at Cabela's had a fairly poor piece of kindling on it that was desguised as a butt stock! Poor piece of sap wood that couldn't hold checkering! Sad fact, the kid behind the counter couldn't see or understand what I was talking about. I suppose he will get wiser with age?

Thanks Scott, I am planning on buying a over/under in the near future. So far I have considered the 3 you have listed & also the Beretta Silver Pigeon S.
