Seeking Advice for a Left handed shooter

One more question gentlemen. When discussing the B guns, several posters have stated that if one fits......the other brand won't. I realize this is subjective, but can you give me some specifics about the differences between the fit of the Beretta vs the Browning? I have no range around here that rents the B guns so other than shouldering them in the store......it is hard to know if it really fits.
 
Being left eyed myself, I understand your problems. For me, I can shoulder 10 Beretta over and under shotguns and none will feel totally identical. I'm talking new guns on the rack at a dealer. That is why I can't order a gun over the internet. I've got to be able to shoulder it first. The 682 I bought for my son came with a short and a long recoil pad that was easily changed.
 
Lefteye, I see your in Iowa, you need to contact Wenig's custom gun stocks in Missouri They can solve all your problems. Your on the right track though. I've bought a few shotguns that were "pretty", but if I don't shoot them well they are gone in a hurry.

The differences are subtle, yet they do matter - stock dimensions are different between the two - different drop at heel, comb, cast (previously mentioned), toe, pitch. The guns themselves are different - Beretta's action has less depth to it than the Browning with its underlug - that isn't saying one is better, just different, and thus will come to the shoulder and point differently for each person

You should be able to pick a spot on the wall holding an UNLOADED gun, close your eyes, mount the gun, open your eyes, and be looking directly at that point without seeing any rib. What helps is also how you hold the forearm. Many folks, to aid with the pointing aspect, use their index finger alongside the forearm in a pointing manner - this helps a lot in making sure the muzzle are pointing where you look as you will naturally do that
 
Thanks for all the input guys! I am going to be in Dallas this weekend and plan on visiting the Beretta Gallery. I will shoulder several of their guns and see how they feel. I have received a few emails from people with pre-owned P and K guns for the same price range of a new Beretta. Now I just need to spend some time handling the guns.
