mark a Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi all I'm saving for a new shotgun and I'm always on guntrader just looking to see what's what. I fancy a browning 525 but I've notice the price difference around the country could be a few hundred different. Does this mean that although they are new they were made in different years like one could be made in 2017 and the other 2016. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsDad Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 The price difference on new guns usually reflects whether the gun is being sold at its RRP or at its discounted price rather than its year of manufacture. A well known dealer in Tunbridge Wells is for example showing on his website: £2998 for a Miroku Mk 60 Grade 5 20 bore, however his cash price is £2645.

Mark hello, i am sure some RFDs mark up eg profit has a bearing on this, depending on what model 525 you wish to purchase i would look on gun trader and find that one being sold new look at the lowest and highest price and see what deal you can get with a RFD of your choice, i bought a 525 light hunter doing just that.

silver pigeon69 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Find the best price online and see if your RFD will match it! Mine will, or at least, be only a few quid dearer (which still works out the same by the time you pay RFD transfer fees or petrol/time) Edited September 9, 2017 by silver pigeon69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 The price difference should be due to new and old stock. A new updated 525 came out but exchange rates made it more expensive than currently held stock. I could have bought a brand new on the rack with full ten year warranty 525 for a lot less than the new stock. I bought a older Beretta for the same money as I prefer the fit and feel.
