Back bored Browning?

Cheers because I bought a 2016 B525 last month and it's an invector not an invector plus.

It's for my game shooting and I only use fibre sad which I know some folk say back bored barrels lose a bit of performance with fibre wad so this suits me perfectly.

I thought all recent models of Browning shotguns were Invector plus? My 2015 525 sporter was Inv +

20 bore...... I only ask as I was just pondering over the fibre wad game cartridges I use and thought that there probably isn't any real effect on performance from back boring that I would notice...... but it would be nice if it wasn't back bored so in theory better suited for the fibre game cartridges I have.

 

 

I know my 12 is back bored as its invector plus! Which is perfect as its now my clay only gun and will only see plastic wads :good:

These guns, like modern sporting Berettas and most other modern guns are not back bored. They are bored normally but with a fractionally larger bore diameter. We're talking about a few thousanths of an inch only which causes no sealing problems with fibre wads. I've used many thousands of fibre wads through such guns and never once experienced anything that could be considered a poor wad seal.

 

Back boring was often done to lighten barrels but has pretty much died out now that virtually every maker offers overbored lightweight barrels.
