André,

You have a wonderful double and I undestand you won't use it when the rain will spoil it..................

but You forgot to tell something very important.

THE BALANCE.
Little can be added to the Browning double's legend.
But for the poor guys who have never totted a Browning, I have no words to depict the phenomenal balance of this rifle, especially in 9.3-74R. One has to try it to believe it.
In my limited humble opinion, balance-wise the closest double is the Chapuis O/U.
Your opinion?
