Gordon R Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 £1500 at a dealers, if in very good nick. Bamfords at Eccleston have one in. Only grade 5 I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax55 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks gordon would I be right in saying grade 5 isn't as god as a grade 1? The grain in the stock isn't the nicest to be honest far from it in fact. but still its a freebie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Grade 1 is the basic, followed by grade 3 and then grade 5. If it is a grade 5, it will have "teardrop" drop points on the stock. Grade 5 should be the best wood. Is the engraving the same as the one at Bamfords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax55 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 it just says in the book citori sprorting g-5. To me the stock just looks bog standard and nothing special no tear drop the butt is just plain rubber the engraving has ducks on the one side and pheasants on the other. cant find the pic on bamfords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) photos would help PP makes it 1988 IIRC which was the year the 325 was launched, it may be a 125 the predecessor aka citori although the citori moniker has been used for miroku made Brownings depending on the market they are sold in.

Gordon R Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 The one in Bamfords doesn't have the expected teardrop:- http://www.guntrader.co.uk/3rdParty/Bamfords/Detail.php?NewGunID=100508111954005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Nice engraving, but the wood is pants for a grade 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I quite like it i think a refinish would bring out the grain (not the best photo's) i prefer it to this one http://www.guntrader.co.uk/Guns-For-Sale/Browning_Shotgun_B325-Grade-5_For-Sale_130628174226001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Neither reflect well on the grading system. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danoi99 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Tear drops? thought they were called drop points ! Aside from that, my brother shoots a Citori...he got it for about 900 quid. Cracking piece of kit for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
