Hey folks, I’ve been looking into getting a new over/under and have been looking at Prophet Rivers sale on Huglu shotguns right now. They have good reviews and most people seem to like them. I have an opportunity to buy a well used Browning Superposed from the mid 50s as well. Both are the same price. My question for those who’ve handled the Huglus is how do they compare? Any insight you may be able to give me? I don’t have the ability to handle one in person as this will be an online purchase.
I would not purchase any shotgun, unless I had the opportunity to shoulder that make and model. A shotgun that doesn't fit the shooter isn't of much use for wingshooting. As for the Huglu vs Superposed, that would depend on the condition of the Superposed, some of those old Superposed guns have seen a lot of use, and have issues.

Other consideration, Superposed won't likely have screw in chokes. If it has fixed chokes tighter than Imp-Cyl or skeet you aren't going to be shooting steel out of it unless you have them opened up. Even with the right chokes, they weren't really designed for steel though I know lots of guys that shoot it out of them.

I wanted a trap gun and had obsessed over several makes. Went to Prophet one day and Clay let me and the wife shoulder about 50 different shotguns.
We both settled on a Benelli Supersport. It's handling was night and day difference from the ones I had thought I wanted. Originally was going to spend about 700 but ended up spending 1900, and was happy with the purchase. The fit of a shotgun is important.
