Good to see a review that doesn't pull its punches. Much better than certain reviewers who give every gun a glowing report.

Welcome back, exactly right over your comments on this and a much better review of this gun than others have done. PS. I'm glad you enjoyed my sarcastic comment on this gun on another channel. Take care.

Browning did the right thing building this gun on the 525 chassis but made the same mistakes with the hollow stock and poor balance of the Cynergy. A real shame. The laminates are superb guns to shoot. Thanks for posting Lloyd 👍👍

I swapped a 525gl for one a few weeks ago. Without weights your right....bloody awful. 160grams of 725 stock weight later and its a different beast. TGS outdoors said the same. Put it this way...Im keeping it !

I think weights would make a massive difference, which is why they should come with the gun.

Strange how they missed with this one. Their composit version of the Maxus 2 is excellent. It's also way too expensive, composite stocks usually occupy the budget end of the range. Shopping around you can get a new Sporter One adjustable for just a little bit more £.

Good honest review. Haven't seen one in the flesh yet 1800 quids a lot of money for something to throw around the pigeon hide think I'd rather spend a grand on a used one dressed in timber.

Of course, manufacturers are looking for new materials, a new modern design and improvements. Plastic shafts are increasingly being used in production. For hunting, plastic may well be useful, but plastic cannot replace a beautiful wooden stock.

On the American version we get a black receiver and only 28 or 30" barrels. And Browning won't sell the weight system here, either.

Morning lloyd. Just went and shot my 1st 100 clays using hull cartridges superfast. No problems with cartridges. Probably made 1001 mistakes myself. Bruised shoulder so no doubt mounting gun wrong. Using swatcom headsets. Found these very intrusive when shooting.any advice be welcoming

To me, what they should have done is reduce the barrel weight by using a short center rib like on the 686 White Wing or other lightweight field guns.

Hey Lloyd. Yeah, missed you (well, ghe channel anyways ;) ). Thanks for the video's, as the choice between Browning (advocated by you) and Beretta (advocated by Jonny) wasn't that obvious for me. Both handle great and shoot flawless (for me anyways), and as i was looking to get into clay shooting, i greatly appreciate both of you for the work you put into these channels. I ended up getting a Browning, in part to your video's, also the deal i got on it, and maybe a little cause it's made locally here. Thx!

Other reviews came to the same conclusion, great gun once it’s balanced. Big mistake not sending it with the weights included. My buy a new gun and then have to spend more money finishing it off for the manufacturer ?

"Large bearing surface that if not meticulous cared for will become loose"? Large bearing surface should make it not shoot loose but the opposite.

Meglio il legno. Ma Browning costruisce fucili impeccabili a prezzi molto accessibili. Ne ho cinque, tra tiro e caccia. Sparati migliaia di colpi, mai un minimo problema. Finiture eccellenti, fucili eterni.
