This thread has me thinking I'm due for another O/U and should probably start checking out the Beretta and maybe circle back to that Winchester M101 too.
Eh...wot?

That's a left-handed shotgun Danny. Just a heads up for potential buyers.

What makes them left handed? Aren't they a straight stock and tang safety?

IDK, the ad says it's a left-handed shotgun. Maybe the way the stock is configured?

My main competition o/u is a Beretta 682X which has been rebuilt twice. (About every 100,000 they get loose) Can't go wrong with a Beretta for dependability and bang for yr buck. Like was previously stated here-to shoot well it must fit. Some people have long necks and others have short necks. Your height and arm length play into barrel length.

If I remember correctly, maybe not, the Remington M332 was made in Turkey.. I believe they were made by Remington in IIlion, NY. Reportedly the last O/U Remington built in the US. Remington seemed to be scrambling to get a share of the O/U market from the mid-1990's through the mid-2000's. They kept coming out with new models (based on the old M32) and then quickly discontinued them. The Peerless from 1993-1999 and it's prettier Custom Shop version the M396 of the same years, The M300 Ideal which was only made during 2000 and 2001 and finally the M332 from 2003-2006. All were marketing failures and none were very good quality guns. As said above though, I do really like the way my M332 fits me. It's a shame it was compromised by poor market-strategy and lousy quality control. I have also had four Winchester 101's two 26 inch skeet 12ga and two trap. A 30" and a 32". All four have gone down the road. There must have been something that steered me towards the Remington fifteen years ago. I was looking hard at the M101 but bought the M332 instead. What was it you didn't like about your M101's?

Awesome gun. I have a Krieghoff K-80 4 barrel skeet set that would cover all your bases.

Thanks Paul. To me "light and whippy" seem like they might be pluses in the grouse woods where you have right around two seconds to recover from an explosive take-off that has you wanting to duck for cover, whip the gun up, point it in the general direction of the blur and yank the trigger before said blur disappears behind cover.

I always figured three seconds but I'm quibbling.

Danny, they are built with cast. Exactly. The proper cast allows for proper eye alignment with the barrel without getting to much check into the stock, which really helps with the quick and consistent mounting. Not to mention less hammering of the cheek. Whichever O/U that you settle on. If it doesn’t have a four way adjustable comb installed on it have one installed. Then spend some time getting the proper fit. A properly fit shotgun is a joy to shoot both in the way it points and in felt recoil. Up until the last year I shot off the shelf non-adjustable shotguns and yes they will kill, but once I got a shotgun properly fit to me it was night and day difference.
