I understood that the 16g Browning 525 weighs around the 7 lb. mark, which surely defeats the object of a 16. It is clearly not on a true scaled down 16 action, unlike the Lincoln (F.A.I.R) which are and weigh around 6 1/2 lbs. just a thought.

I'd second that  of OB  Just checked and a 525 game one  30" barrel weighs 7lb 3oz - 7lb 4oz compared to my Jubilee prestige at just under  6 1/2 lb

They say that the 525 16g is based on the 20 bore action but i used to have a 525 hunter 12g  that weighed around 7lb 3oz

Does'nt seem to add up

So if your 12g feels heavy now then a Lincoln would be the better choice weight wise and are ideal for long walked up days

 

NB Lincoln are still offering the £50 cashback deal on new guns
