Need help choosing my first 0/U

How does the Beretta fit you? Do you know how to check to see if the gun is pointing where you are looking? As has been mentioned several times, fit should be a priority. A new shooter at our club was struggling at skeet shooting 14-16 with his Turkish made O/U, and we determined that the gun didn't fit him. He then purchased a Citori CX with adjustable comb, and we adjusted it for him. His first round of skeet was a 22, and the second a 25, and ever since, he shoots in the 20s. Do not discount fit.

I have no experience with gun fitting. Im a decent shooter, and I know whats feel right but im by no mean an expert. I wish I could go somewhere and simply try them all.

Look at the Franchi Instinct L. Very light and quick handling. I had the Bettinsoli marked one. (Bettinsoli supposedly makes the Franchis.) Nice little gun. There are a few at our club, both field and target models.

You mentioned you wanted a non-automatic safety. Most Browning and Beretta field guns have automatic safeties. The Franchi/Bettinsoli has one too, but it is a two minute job to disable it.

Its actually my second choice, there just hard to find used with my criteria. But its also very close to the price range of a 686 so im wondering if I should take the extra step and go with the 686. In the end my best option should be to try them all, wich I cant.
 
If you can find one, the Bettinsoli X-Trail is the same gun and is usually less expensive as most are unfamiliar with the brand. When I bought mine (new) the Bettinsoli cost $300 less, came with 5 chokes rather than 3, and had a 5yr warranty as opposed to 2yr.
