I'm going to try one on tomorrow, at $1750 Australian for a sporter it's a great buy considering a silver pigeon is close to $1000 more, just going to have to put it against an Ata 686el and see which one fits better
A very nice 12 bore my friend has the exact same gun and is father bought it brand new 33 years ago and its still going strong. Would highly recommend.
Hi just brought a brand new browning 525 game one after getting my licence nearly three months ago looked at a couple of other guns but finally decided to buy the browning, a long wait but well worth it, fits me like a glove.
I would tighten the choke tubes so you cant unscrew them with your fingers, have you ever seen blown out chokes as the gasses get behind the threads that are loose?
In terms of build quality you can't beat it. Mine has a couple of small knocks on the stock and barrel but really it still feels brand new after 7 years!
got the same gun 2012 model same spec by the look, mine has a silver trigger also. cracking gun, must say I'm a browning lover like you and purchased the sxp on your reviews/ usage !
it don't matter when u clean it really u can go months without cleaning ur gun because the modern gun powder and primers we use today don't attack the rifling or ur smooth bore
good Guns brownings. i love my cynergy black ice fitted me lovely since I picked it up 2 years ago and finally collected it last summer as the shop let me pay it up and use it while i was doing so lol. ive watched you do some good shots with that gun. keep up the good work. ill be getting a t shirt or hoody of yours asap when pennies allow. have you got cammo tops? take care cheers
I’ve got the sporter model also with the plastic but plate , really like the gun but wish I could Change the plastic plate for a rubber one as sometimes I end up with a bruised shoulder after a day on the pigeons I assume it’s probably the way I’m shouldering the gun Great gun tho 👍
How is the fibre optic sight working for you? I've got an old Baikal with too large a drop on the comb. Willing to try anything at this point! Keep the great content coming!
srspower where did you get the sights from? I have never had a gun fitted and struggle in some way with correctly mounting all my guns, I'd be interested in trying one of these out
Good to see thanks. You have a lot of gun for the money. I bought a grade 5 Miroku (for specific purposes) and the chequering is better finished on your browning. Sorry for you about the fitting - can you take it back and ask for assistance?
Foss2506 he probably can't because it is not a gun that they fit to people you just buy it as it comes out of the factory. The only way really would be to get a stock fitted to him and then change the stocks out which would cost a bit of money. I guess they maybe able to raise the rib on the gun but I don't really know the technicalities behind it. But theoretically is possible but again it would cost quite abit to do.
hi, i was wondering if you have done a video for a beginners gun. im new to shotguns and im hoping to go into gamekeeping as a proffesion. if you havent done a video then would the b525 be a good gun for me to get? thanks.
Another great video. I am in a similar position to you, with a gun that is too short etc. and have applied the same methods as yourself with the stock jonny and hi viz tube bead. both are pro tem solutions for me until funds allow me to get something more suitable. I wonder if you have considered making a video in collaboration with one of the fantastic gunsmiths that frequent the forums, such as pigeon watch, in which you look at gunfit and have your gun adjusted for You? From what I understand, it doesn't have to be a case of new stock, so not horrendously expensive. just an idea. Adam
i would think it mutually beneficial as we are all aware of the importance of gun fitting, yet little is known about the work involved, and who to do the necessary modifications.
Well I will probably take a hundred quid potential spending money but I don't have anything particularly in mind. Although I do need a silencer and I am tempted by a Browning buckmark Carbine, so if as good price comes along you never know ...
Thanks...B525 Browning probably the best Gun at the most affordable price
I would say so yeah :)

I guess that would be the 325?

Was thinking of asking you to do a review on this recently ! You beat me to it ! Was using one last week was spot on !
In terms of build quality you can't beat it. Mine has a couple of small knocks on the stock and barrel but really it still feels brand new after 7 years!
Good video and the guns works well. Take your point regards fitting.
Yes fit comes first, build quality second to be honest.
got the same gun 2012 model same spec by the look, mine has a silver trigger also. cracking gun, must say I'm a browning lover like you and purchased the sxp on your reviews/ usage !
The SXP fits me better than my 525!
no problem ill keep checking. take cheers
Such a nice gun. Very stable. Great video anyway.
It has served me well and still feels like new. Thanks for watching :)
Real nice scattergun. I like it.
it don't matter when u clean it really u can go months without cleaning ur gun because the modern gun powder and primers we use today don't attack the rifling or ur smooth bore
Good video. Good shotgun I really like my browning 525!
Thanks for watching :)
Keep up the content great vid👍🏻
Thanks for watching Jack :)

No camo yet Tim unfortunately, I couldn't find an international T Shirt place that do them.
I’ve got the sporter model also with the plastic but plate , really like the gun but wish I could Change the plastic plate for a rubber one as sometimes I end up with a bruised shoulder after a day on the pigeons I assume it’s probably the way I’m shouldering the gun
Great gun tho 👍
have you got round to getting this fitted or found something that fits you better?
Just seen your review on the 525 very good I'm getting one at the shooting show! I'm I likely to get a better deal there or at my local gun shop?
I doubt it will make any difference to be honest.
the lower choke sits deeper than the upper choke - why is that? is this a design feature or a margin of error??

It's worked for me well in terms of forcing my to shoulder the gun in the right place.
srspower where did you get the sights from? I have never had a gun fitted and struggle in some way with correctly mounting all my guns, I'd be interested in trying one of these out
Same as my Miroku mk70 sporter checkering etc

Ian Coleys do gun fitting but you are talking about £600 upwards! There are other options though, I need to shop around.
Nice video Bro, thanks for sharing
Do you put 3 inch cartridges through the 525 ?
Hello mate ..what is your 525 ?
187mm or 184 mm (bores)
Becose i am intersting to buy the new 525
It's 12 bore but comes in pretty much any bore you like.
@@srspower okay mate thank you.....
Also i have another question how many years old is your gun
hi, i was wondering if you have done a video for a beginners gun. im new to shotguns and im hoping to go into gamekeeping as a proffesion. if you havent done a video then would the b525 be a good gun for me to get? thanks.
If you are looking for a good over and under to last you all your life then you should buy either a Browning B525 or a Berreta Silver Pigeon.
***** thank you :)
I have been looking a at the browning pro trap but I don't now if it would be a good investment
All guns are a good investment but especially section 2.
srspower ok thank you. Will you ever be going to doveridge clay ground. 😀
great video
Thanks for watching Henry :)
Sam,
Just been told the 525 is now £1545 new now? Didn't you get yours for £1200??
That seems a little pricey! But there are different versions and the 'game' is generally the cheapest.
I got mine for £1300 brand new in 2016
asking him if I could shoot the rabbits on his land I think he was having a bad day never been back there . looking into a 17hmr or a 22LR rifle .Paul
Another great video.

Adam
That is a good idea especially if they give me a big discount (or free) for advertising!
i would think it mutually beneficial as we are all aware of the importance of gun fitting, yet little is known about the work involved, and who to do the necessary modifications.
Whats a good budget over under?
Sam go to a gun smith and he will sort the stock out and you will kick your self for not doing it in the first place
are you going to the shooting show next week end
Yes I plan to.
planing to buy anything or just looking
Well I will probably take a hundred quid potential spending money but I don't have anything particularly in mind. Although I do need a silencer and I am tempted by a Browning buckmark Carbine, so if as good price comes along you never know ...
Sunday ?
Saturday I think.
Do you live in Cheltenham because Ian Coley Is very good
No Worcestershire, but not far away.
What did you do with the pigeons?
I ate them, well not just me.
Good vid/review though 👍😀
Thanks for watching Charlie :)
Any views on the benelli 828u?
I just checked it out, looks like it came out of some sci fi movie! Pretty cool actually.
srspower i think i will be investing in one for the next pheasant season i will have a closer look at the shooting show.
I think the silver pigeon has a much better finish than the browning
It's a little prettier yes but not as solid I don't think.
srspower agreed. This is a nicer feeling gun ... but choice I guess. Never shot game version, but 30 inch sported also decent for game.
The Beretta locking system is inferior to the Browning's underbolt. Especially when it comes time for a rebuild.
You have to be related to Joe Sugg..
take care cheers lol
