Browning B525 Composite

[@aynesie1]

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

[@MichaelAnsell1842]

Brilliant review mate, it’s a breath of fresh air to see pure honesty

[@mauriciomesa3023]

I was about to buy it before seeing your review. Finally decided to go for the S One and no regrets at all! thanks for sharing this crucial information.

[@stu748r]

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.

[@robertgriffin5538]

same s...t just 20 years later. good review Lloyd👍

[@Grant_901]

Nice review and honest feedback on areas of improvement. Thanks for sharing

[@markbutler1616]

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 👍👍

[@XollyWolly]

Thanks for the honest review. Glad to see you

[@Blondejam]

Nice to see you back mate!!!

[@paulwilson7234]

A no nonsense review at its best.

[@TMFShooting]

I don't think i'v heard anyone have a good word to say about this B525 👎 Another Great Review Lloyd 💯, thanks for Sharing it 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@lloydyp]

A couple of channels have given it a glowing review. 🤷‍♂

[@TMFShooting]

@@lloydyp😧 I after admit Lloyd ,when I first saw it I did like the look 😳

[@johntrott9513]

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 £.

[@colinreid7305]

Real-world honest down to earth review. I am not a strict traditionist, but timber is hard to beat.

[@nickhill5314]

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 !

[@lloydyp]

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

[@nickhill5314]

@@lloydyp totally agree. Keep up the great work 👍

[@funkla65]

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.

[@petermitchell9551]

thank you for a honest review

[@jammyjim69]

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.

[@G78.]

Great video mate thanks from Ireland 👍

[@jamapaza]

Thank you for a real review!

[@lloydyp]

You are welcome.

[@timeverett7828]

Can't give away a 525 in Canada. Loads of them for sale for years.

[@mrbritish]

Honest and excellent review, thx!

[@arthur703]

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.

[@iain777uk]

Great to see new content.

[@x-Timmer-x]

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!

[@lloydyp]

You live in Japan? Would love to hear what the shooting is like out there. And you are very welcome. Glad you enjoy your show.

[@x-Timmer-x]

@@lloydyp Hey Lloyd. No, i don't live in Japan, i live in Belgium. FN owns Browning (or something) but i just googled, and it seems the 725 is made in Japan.. who knew (i didn't 😅)

[@lloydyp]

@stevet4962 every day is a school day 😂

[@Liam0839892]

With the Perazzi gone, what do you intend on replacing it with?

[@lloydyp]

I already replaced it. Video out soon.

[@timeverett7828]

What a mistake. ​@@lloydyp

[@Runner_in_the_dark]

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.

[@GaryMatlock-d5e]

Probably have to fill the hollow plastic stock to add a Falcon Strike on this little kicking mule!

[@neilkeenan2827]

Honest and fair review.

[@steveadams2328]

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

[@TheHaggis666]

Good review 👍 did I hear you say the laminates have been having problems with the stocks?

[@lloydyp]

No.

[@cedhome7945]

How much for a plastic stock? .... I'll keep my 425 black ultra with actual wood

[@James-cv5tx]

A good honest review ❤

[@airwindandfire7145]

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

[@grahamkirk5974]

Good honest review,unfortunately it looks like one to avoid. The look on your face during the review said it all.

[@tonyemans4512]

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 ?

[@RustyControls]

Glad I have the b525sl

[@harrismanzoor9555]

Where do you live i wanna meet you i am from india i love your content

[@jameseray1979]

In the states, we can get anything you want in tactical plastical. But hardly anything in laminate. As far as shotguns that is. I don't understand......

[@jameseray1979]

Should have just made another laminate, in a different color.

[@stevenraine5457]

Couldn’t agree more with you

[@nicholasrichards2402]

Cheap and nasty looking browning are going backwards

[@Jam28915]

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.

[@cinnreds18]

lol 2g for a plastic o/u No thanks
