Wot does the board value a high condition 12 ga. GR4 Beretta w/30" bbls and M&F fixed chokes w/or w/o aftermarket recoil pad?
Also, in the same vein do you consider a BSS [Miroku made, of course] to be the better gun?
The Great Pumpkin hit me up w/this quandary, justin case ya wanna know :-)
I would rate them about equal. For example, GR4 would be similar to BSS BLE Gr II. In this case the Browning would be substantially more expensive.
One of the most under-appreciated doubles in this handling category were the Sears Roebuck Model 100s by AyA. It's basically A&D actioned BLE that externally mimics Winchester Model 21. It had well struck barrels, nicely blued action and solid piece of walnut with fine checkering. Butt plate and pistol grip was bovine horn or something similar.
