billytheghillie Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Well I tried the above gun recently, and decided to go for it. Went to my local gun shop and was told the end of December before he could get me one! Should be worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Just the bog standard one, with 28in barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Daft question maybe-but why not buy one from another dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Just the bog standard one, with 28in barrels. OK they look good in the catalogue. Are you clay or game shooting. I ask because they come with 1/4 1/2 3/4 full chokes. If clay you might be wanting an open choke at some time.

BattleFieldRelics Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I've had one for 13 years or so. Fantastic gun, never missed a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterBen Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Have a look at the sporter..less heavy and better handling in my opinion..ive got one for game only.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Have a look at the sporter..less heavy and better handling in my opinion..ive got one for game only.. I've got a sporter but aren't they heavier than the game version on the rationale of soaking up recoil on clay shoots whereas game version is lighter for carrying?

martindd Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I bought the same game b525 but in 30" only had 50 sporting clays with it and took on our little rough shoot on Saturday and bagged a brace of pheasants happy with it so far.

HunterBen Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Normaly game would be less but the 525 sporter has ventilated barrels .less weight..I weighed them all in the shop before i purchased..

BrowningB525 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Are you desperate? You should be able to pick one of these straight up for under £1,300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Gun is for clay and game shooting. yes its under £1,300, and I can wait, so wont use another dealer, as if there is any problems it is local to me.
