Well Ive done the deed and bought the gun. I ended up buying a Browning B325 which I am told will last me a lifetime if I look after it well.Pick it up at the end of the week.

It will be used for a bit of walked up shooting and clays every now and again when out of season. Don't want to end up buying something that will be replaced after a short amount of time. Any advice please.
