Bango Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 hi guys, thinking of getting one of these new, have any of you had any experience with one? thanks callum When choosing my 1st shot gun I tried both the 525 and the beretta 682e.

Bloke Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Got one about 5 months ago, really pleased with it - shoots where you point it, looks good . A little nose-heavy, but I prefer that. Yes the grip is a little thicker than the Beretta, but I prefer the angle of the Browning pistol grip and I don't have small hands, so the grip feels right for me. The 2.5 wood and the black decor is a nice touch as well. One little niggle though. They come with the Browning invector X2 extended chokes(great chokes, pattern beautifully) as standard, and the notches in the tip of the choke where the key locates are like razors, I have had to re-line the end of my gunslip because it has cut the nose lining to ribbons . Solution - open the gunslip fully and place the gun inside (But it will still chafe the lining a bit if you carry the gun 'barrel down') or buy a couple of Teagues, simples! Overall, great gun if you like the 525 series and as cheap for a cash price as a Grade 1 basic 525 + a set of extended chokes, no contest really.

sako751sg Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Best gun i have ever shot.With 30 barrels mine feels so balanced and i hit way more than with the Beretta.Love the look of the action and the only prob i have is with one of the firing pins.If i dont use a snap cap when not in use it can fail to provide a strick that fires the cartridge and have never bothered to get it seen to.No worries with them at all from me.
