Going to try and pick up a lanber as that is what I used to knock most clays out of the sky with.
That's the way to do it.Go with the one that works best.
I 'wanted' a Beretta..........but couldn't hit a barn door with all the ones I tried.......as they just didn't 'fit' me.
Ended up trying a Browning which worked a treat, so have gone for one of them.
However, 5 weeks on from ordering it (as none in UK) I'm still waiting for the bloody thing though.......

Hopefully it will be better than my Browning experience. Kicked like a mule and bruised my shoulder terribly I sold it.Go with the one that works best.

Certainly no kick issues with that gun.

I had an absolutely lovely Browning B25 Custom, really wish I hadn't sold it.

I shoot 28g cartridges in a 2012 B525 and it doesn't kick - it's a lovely gun.Certainly no kick issues with that gun.
I'd prefer a slim rubber buttpad if I could find one that's an easy fit. Someone told me the Inflex 2 might fit, however on most 525's the butt of the stock is convex, not flat like the maxxus and B725. Has anybody ever tried fitting one?

Had this dilemma a few years ago. My 525 also doubled up for some rough shooting of some big birds, so do occasionally put some bigger cartridges in it, usually 42gm but have gone bigger. My wife also shoots it from time to time (but not enough to justify her own gun) and complained about it kicking. Did a bit of research and concluded it was just easier to sell it and get the 2015 onward 525 that has one fitted as standard.Haven't regretted it one bit (and the old ones hold their value very well so managed to 'upgrade' for about £200). Has a few subtle improvements and seems a very good gun for the money, very little difference now between the 525 and 725 really.
I'd love to have a go with a Cynergy too but they seem pretty rare in these parts.
With regard to the issue of which make of shotgun is best for you, I believe any gun that has been properly fitted to the user will shoot well and it is therefore just a matter of practice makes perfect. I tried both Beretta and Browning, but found Browning to be a mite wide in the receiver for my taste. I have two identical Berettas, in 12 and 20bore. Both have been professionally fitted and I am very satisfied with the result. I am a wide boy (in the physical sense) and the 20 bore has a significant cast, the 12bore was built with a fair cast on it when I bought it. Both had to have the stock shortened. Horses for courses as they say.

Cabinet finally fitted; just waiting for FEO to come back and - all being well - approve it and give me my certificate.
In the meantime, its home to my three air rifles.
What did you do about the gap between the cabinet and the wall due to the skirting board sticking out?In the meantime, its home to my three air rifles.
Looks like a good sized ammo compartment btw.

creampuff,
I know you are right, but in the absence of a need for an FAC there didn't seem much point applying for one. My land is small (6 acres) and flat, so not really safe for .22 rimfire etc. FAC airguns don't seem worth the bother.
That being the case, a shotgun certificate seems like it will be fine for now, as I just want to go and bash some clays at the various shooting grounds round here.
