Which gun do you prefer "Remington 20 Semi auto or a Browning 20 Semi auto? I am trying to buy a new gun to shoot skeet with and can't make up my mind. I don't like o/u's. And a good company to buy from.
Thx[:D]

Do I need to say anymore.[8D]
If you have the chance to look over both shotguns , I would choose the one that throws up and points better .
You'll break more rock with the one that fits you , more so than the one that looks nicer .

both guns are great guns pick the one that fits and feels more comfortable for you
+Remington - lots of options available. Shell catchers avail.
-Remington - Gas ring needs replaced, hvy trigger, sometimes tight chamber if using reloads, Stocks are in all grades.
+Browning Gold - Better metal finish, stocks are better wood and finish, chambers a little more open to accept reloads, optional gas vents.
-Browning Gold - Pay a little for the name. Not as many parts and options as the 1100 or 11-87.
You should consider the Beretta 390 or 391, or Winchester Super X. They are above the price range of the 2 above, but far better in all aspects. Also consider an O/U if using for skeet if ever thinking about competition or using reloads, just makes life easier.
Best of luck
Gauge. The recoil is very noticeable more than the Remington 20, Remington has less recoil. [:p]
If I had of known you were a lady I would have recommended a Browning Lady Gold in 12 ga. They are ported, overbored, have a recoil reducer in the stock plus an oversize stock and pad. My wife shoots one (couldn't talk her into an O/U) and I did quite a bit of research and shot many different guns to find the lightest felt recoil. The 12 ga. also gives better patterns with light loads then a full load 20 ga IMHO.
Since you already purchased the gun, I recommend that you have the gun "fitted" to you. This makes a huge difference in comfort level and greatly enhances your abilities. If there is to much recoil you can add a reducer in the stock and have the barrel ported. A Morgan plate can be added to change angle if needed.
Best of luck with your new purchase.
I was wondering why a "Remington forever" guy would buy a Browning.

we bought the browning because that is what she wanted just like your wife she picked hers . that the way it should be. The gun they like not what we like after all there the one going to shoot it not us. The remington would be my fist choice browning would be 2nd choice. btw this is her 2nd gun. her first gun is a 12 gauge remington 1187 gloss stock she shoots it very well, we not new to the game. she bought the browning for a second gauge. the gold browning would have been a better pick over the silver browning. price and looks took her to the silver because it was more appealing to her I'M going to have fited and add some weight to it.
