    The old Brownings were made in Belgium, Remington's and Mossberg's are made in here in the U.S. and the Benelli's are being produced in Italy.
    All that have been mentioned are of good quality. The Browning's had a lot of hand fitted parts and come from an era of pride and quality manufacturing, for sure. Just my opinion, but Remington quality seems to have slipped since they are now owned by a large conglomerate called " Freedom Group". The Mossberg's, I believe, still are a good common sense working mans gun that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Benelli's are known to be of very high quality and you will pay for that!

    To tell the truth I’m not sure now. I haven’t shot it since I started having health trouble two years ago.

    Love those Ithaca’s, and we still use rifled slugs! Killed my first gun season deer 65 yards full run out of an bird barrel with an improved cylinder and a 2 3/4” Remington slugger. That was when they were $1.50 a box now I think there almost $5!! Our area is still only allowed shotgun for deer. The next county over is allowed rifle which is sort of scary!
