Traveler Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi folks, having a look at a second hand one of the above. Any owners got any pointers or tips on them? It has a set of the short flush chokes with it - are extended chokes quite readily available/made for them does anyone know? Thanks in advance. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes if you keep your eye out on here full sets come up for sale. Invector plus is the usual choke system for the 525. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice reading up on it that it's one of the first to be backbored but wonder how that matches up with the (now superceded) older short invector choke system?

figgy Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) The 525 is a good gun and bombproof as they say. Only thing with Browning/Miroku is the black American walnut can crack and one of the firing pins can stop working when it's done a lot. Firing pins are cheap. If the stock has no cracks it probably won't ever crack as the gun will be a few years old now being one of the first backbored. Traveller I've just read a review from 2007 on the Elite and it says it's got the older invector chokes. This was about the time they changed over to invector plus. It will say on the barrel of the gun what chokes are fitted. Edited January 29, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 525 is a great gun. Whether it is invector or Invector + would'nt worry me an iota.........I have both(invector 425/invector + Heritage 525) and have'nt ever noticed any difference...personally I don't like extended but both are readily available for both. 'Elite' was the name for Grade 3s so its got a bit more engraving/better wood. Better wood means just that...don't fret about the wood failing unless you intend to club things with it. atb.

Jay_Russell Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Had one for quite a few years and was faultless. Invictor chokes and patterned just fine with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
