I agree with your favoring your Browning 425 over the Ruger. I used to work in what was known as Galyan's Sporting Good in Fair Lakes, Va. We sold a lot of Browning Citoris and Berettas. Both of them are very nice and very well built. The Ruger was okay, but I didn't like the way those barrels plopped out of the action when you moved the lever to the right. Dind't sell a whole lot of them.
