One mans opinion only.

687 Beretta's are the Ford 150 pick up of O/U's Browning's are the Chevy's and probably just as good, except most Browning's are ported, something to be avoided.

Mine is a 687 SP II, dressed up same frame. A lot slimmer and to my mind better handling than other O/U's at the same price. Thousands of rounds and never a hiccup. Cheaper is not going to be as reliable, to top the 687's you have to spend a lot more money.
