The 8th generation of the Browning B25 is here in the form of the 825 Citori. i was lucky enough to test the pro-sport out at the wonderful Domain de Sandricourt in France, shooting driven pheasants.

Which of the 825 models should we get our hands on next?

[@OldFashioned-h1k]

If the 825 is the eighth iteration can we see the ultra rare B225 and B625 please?

[@tomwilkins3099]

I think you should review the standard sporter 👍

[@neilbrailsford4882]

game gun please engraving is a bit mk11 naff would look better with scroll but it would be nice to know if it shoots nice

[@jameseray1979]

I think its the game gun model. But id like to see the 825, that has the birds and dog engraved on it.

[@tgsoutdoors]

@@OldFashioned-h1k625 is a US only model is what I heard from a conversation many years ago I thought they skipped 225? B25 (a few generations here I guess if we are counting), B125, 325, 425, 525, 625, 725 and 825.

[@tonyemans4512]

You never fail to deliver a quality production, outstanding again. Always look forward to a TGS video, thanks.

[@drjohn5407]

you should shoot an episode of your clothing, especially what you wore for this one. As a transplanted Brit to the USA, I appreciate the clothing worn for hunting and shooting, not just for its style but also the practical aspects, with perhaps a little history thrown in. I just did a quick YT search and did not find any videos covering this.. opportunity?

[@MrCritterKiller]

Such a cultural difference. Then again, when I'm rough hunting, the only people to judge me are the dogs. What the US could use is jackets really cut for wingshooting. My best jacket is my bowhunting jacket, which is cut for shoulder movement.

[@GuidesNWcom-mk9uc]

My favorite part...13.06 completely stops describing gun weight distribution, looks away from camera... "Oooooh, a Pheasant!" ... instantly resumes talking about gun weight😂👍

[@DiRTYZs19z]

I thought there was no audio at first, until I turned my headset around. At which point I figured out it was mono right side, probably not something that would get caught while editing. But being deaf in my left ear it was noticeable right away. This happens quite often, not with your videos though, idk if there is a way to change it for headphone users at this point or not. But maybe in the future it could be looked at more closely. Thanks for a great vid either way, Ive been waiting for more vids about this gun!

[@6point5x55]

Caught me off guard aswell.

[@windym709]

Another one with a new camera that separates voice channels, bit crap for us deaf in one ear. 😢

[@colinblance7271]

Yep, totally agree. Although I am not deaf in any ear, I really dislike the mono voice for close, I often switch off videos which do this. Stereo for the voice “off camera” and the music and changing to mono back and forward is a bit rubbish. 😜 Apart from that, I love Johnny’s videos. 👍😎

[@prestontice8839]

also something odd about the coloring in the beginning ?

[@jammyjim69]

Just watched Lloyd s review this morning. Look forward to watching yours

[@gregcameron9907]

I'm very very happy with my 725, adj comb a high grade 4.5 wood, fits very well and not worth jumping in price for the 825

[@dave_724]

Spotted one of these in Barbury for the first time up close and it’s the first Browning that’s got my attention and thoughts and got me going umm that’s rather nice the old 725 pro sport was undoubtedly one of the best mechanical actions. The lines and styling of the new 825 are gorgeous I can see a lot of people like my self falling in love with the 825 range !

[@kencoffman7145]

The wood on the stocks is unbelievable!

[@danhill6333]

Looks like an amazing couple of days with some great folks and a nice bit of kit. Thanks for sharing with us. Not sure, but I might be a convert to browning in the future. I'm digging the orange socks. A bit brighter than burnt orange but not quite braze orange.

[@johngeorge2081]

Any chance you could touch on why the UK gets the new chokes, new recoil pad(s), different engraving and a case with the pro sport vs the US. Even the forensic options are better over there. What gives, Browning?

[@manatoa1]

They're charging $1250 USD more based on RRP in both countries, so that might be why.

[@johngeorge2081]

Yes. But the US doesn't get nearly as good of a gun. No new Pro chokes. No fore end options , no case, no extra length but pad. Same stock as the 725, and the US guns don't have the nice engraving. We can't even get the old 525 XS Pro. I thought we were the gun country... just not O/U from Browning.

[@MrCritterKiller]

Lovely review, and looks like an amazing experience, which is so different from my rough hunting here in Wisconsin (but we do have 1 million acres of public land in this state!). Big fan of my 625 sporting, and the 825 looks quite nice.

[@batmantiss]

That's a HANDSOME Browning!

[@YorkshireClayShooting]

0:01 got to say JC that coat and trouser combo is epic. Unfortunately I’m of the Jacamo persuasion so highly doubtful I’ll be getting in a pair 🤣. Great video as per 🤩 🙌 👌🏼

[@michaelt.9372]

I have an American 825, and we definitely get shafted like someone else said. Cardboard and styrofoam box, cardboard choke box in plastic bags. BUT I just keep my shotgun in a gun sock in my safe so whatever. But it’s a beautiful gun. Took it on a quail hunt yesterday and it wasn’t overly heavy to carry all day.

[@highwaystar2272]

Man tell me about it. Owner of an 32" 825 Sporting. ~$3,200 gun sold with a carboard and styrofoam box.... feels so down market. Having seen this, god now I want the Pro model.

[@xtan9879]

@@highwaystar2272 725 sporting was like this as well, only pro model comes with hard case

[@trevorn9381]

@@highwaystar2272 The molded styrofoam is to protect the gun during shipping. LOL Back in the day if you ordered a Midas Grade Superposed it came from Belguim in a cardboard and styrofoam box.

[@Gaucho_tche447]

@@highwaystar2272- I was looking at the pro model in the US and the engraving is also different. I think it looks cheap compared to what is shown here. I don’t understand why the US version of these guns are so far behind.

[@MrCritterKiller]

@@Gaucho_tche447 Agreed. Looking at this gun and the gun on Browning's US site, and the UK gun is a step up.

Loved this video as I just ordered a 825 Sporting over the weekend. There are differences but I am looking forward to my new gun and the fun it brings!!

[@jsnyder0512]

I have been waiting for this, glad you like it!

[@paulwilson7234]

A very nice looking Browning, I like it.

[@NonsenseHater]

Is this also a ‘no nonsense’ review in your view or would you argue that it contains some remnants of ‘nonsense’?

[@paulwilson7234]

​@NonsenseHater Actually TGS is probably one of the best shooting channels available on U-Tube , The Clay Tour in my opinion is first class.

[@30STR8]

That gun looks like a mullet. Business/traditional on the bottom and the new/party on top

[@crankygunreviews]

Super nice! Another one I’ll probably never buy- I can get a lot more cheap guns for the cost of that guy :) you guys over there sure make sport shooting a sport! Amazing videos and that venue looks awesome! I bet that Pheasant tasted great

[@consumertester5665]

La France est belle!

[@jeremiah5313]

Great video (for being in France 😂). I’ve been shooting a 725 for a couple years now and enjoy it very much. I don’t think I could justify buying a 825 but would love to try it. Also, not too sure about the orange socks 🧦. A bit too flash for me 😁

[@zevgoldman6769]

Excellent to see your video, always a joy. I hope that you and yours have a wonderful new year. What company produces the 825 for Browning? A look inside would be interesting.

[@durexjim]

not watched you for a while johnny always great content thx for the review

[@OliviaStumpf-k8h]

Every time I am convinced that your channel is one of the best! Thank you for the quality content and interesting videos.♂️🐞🍮

[@necdetyenidogan7710]

Ferfect guns very nice organization❤👌👌

[@funkla65]

Looks like a great gun. The re-contouring and engraving panels seem to acknowledge that the SL2 is a trendsetter. 😉 And watching someone running a pair of doubles on peg has me thinking that the "unsporting" smears on pumps and autos for holding more than two rounds are a bunch of rubbish. The pair of doubles can clearly maintain a higher rate of fire.

[@Rob_Steele725]

Great video as always, I’m tempted to upgrade one of my 725’s after watching this, or just add to them, be good to look at the standard sporter model next

[@matthewlobba8775]

It appears to me a quick attempt to mimic the design of Beretta’s sl2 for the coming exhibitions. Regardless, I’ll give it a try, we’ll see! Cheers John, great video as always!

[@felixd7818]

Another good video. The Citori is ok too.

[@Jolly56Roger]

Looks a bit like a toy gun bit puffy ,Yes all good and well , but it makes my 525 XS pro worth a lot less! so I am sticking with the best gun out there 525 XS Pro 32". live long and prosper 😂

[@machilverweij2564]

I’m excited!

[@johngeorge2081]

Does Browning advertise the POI on the Pro Sport? I'm hoping for 50/50. Yes, I'm aware that POI can ve affected by gun fit, but only increasing as you see more rib.

[@wda-59-14]

Nice video! Thanks!

[@patricksarsfield942]

wait until the 826 comes out!

[@jamesjohnson7905]

Liking the new tweeds jc

[@LeonRookey]

Are you planning on reviewing the Pointer Acrius line any time soon??

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

The 825 doesn't look as clunky as previous iterations. Apparently, you're grip is similar to mine as you agree the stock is easier to hold.

[@ruffus6465]

So which one would you pick now that you reviewed them both? The Browning citori 825 pro or the Beretta 688 performance?

[@dgoodman1484]

Magnifique! Video I mean. Knowing Browning, we probably can’t get the gun over on this side of the pond. Comparing it to my 65 year old thin ribTrap Special B25, I’d take my wood but in that 825 pattern, my action and engraving with that manual trigger and definitely the selector (the one thing I genuinely dislike about my old Superposed is the sloppy feeling selector). Probably the new choke tubes although I don’t really have any issues with mine being fixed except for skeet. Definitely my actual ivory bead vs that high vis plastic. But except for the modern styling, I do like it. I’d probably put that stock on a Browning Autumn and be extremely happy but of course they don’t let us have the autumn either so I guess I’ll have to keep my old Superposed and keep buying Italian (if you are listening Browning)! As others suggested a video on your clothing styles/brands would be interesting. I think it’s awesome and miss the class in today’s hunting here in the USA. But definitely glad I don’t have to spend a week picking briars out of those smart looking socks! 👍🏼👍🏼😁

[@OliCM3]

What's this?? Have Browning thrown out the double decker bus template they normally use to design their actions around!? As a through and through Beretta fan, this low, sleek 825 is the first Browning I'd ever consider buying.

[@funkla65]

The shoulders have gotten some re-contouring, but I'd say the engraving panels are pulling off an optical illusion. The plain-jane white US version doesn't look as low.

[@johngeorge2081]

Considering shipping one to the US. Does the gun have a mid bead? No one has mentioned this one way or the other.

[@sonicrose8430]

Do Browning shotguns still have the weird slightly angled bottom firing pin that likes to light strikes certain primers?

[@glockparaastra]

Too much fun!

[@ausguntv]

Love the videos, please do more factory tours if you can, also, clean ya finger nails.

[@benvetonline]

How does this compare to the DT11. ? Being browning's top clay gun. Any opinions. ?

[@mattforster2660]

Are those Invector DS Pro chokes the same fitment as the Invector DS on the 725 to let people take advantage of just new chokes as an upgrade to an already decent gun? (Rather than spending £4k for a whole new package)

[@NJpatc]

Is this receiver design different than what's being sent to USA? On the Browning website the receiver engraving looks much different, unless im missing something.

[@chrisschilling8729]

You said man's perfect grip. Huhuh.

[@benjaminwilley3578]

I'd like to know about your grey partridge day.

[@dennisobrien2578]

Been producing for a hundred years? If I’m not mistaken Val Browning invented the over/under shotgun. Cheers!

[@tgsoutdoors]

Invented is a big word, I think JMB started the design and Val finished it and brought it to final production. Invented the first mass produced over and under perhaps is an acceptable term, although Merkel probably could claim that title in some small regard as their design went back to 1898 although less ‘mass market’ than browning. Boss could probably chip in too with the first modern looking OU in 1913(ish). There were over and under flintlock guns a century before break open OU guns.

[@wackeyracer2001]

Browning the sticker company have made a new gun 🎉

[@johnbiddle9126]

How would you compare it to a ultra xs pro which do you prefer

[@robinlewis3288]

Would also like to know your thoughts on that comparison

[@MrCabimero]

Those birds seem quite high. What chokes do you use?

[@KennethStephenson-z8t]

Would you consider the 825 pro sport instead of a DT 11?

[@BradWetherell]

Is there a way to get that version in the states? All I’ve seen for sale have a floral design that covers the entire receiver and I think it’s not as attractive.

[@prebaned]

Across the pond the 825 is very different. We get the shaft big time. The stock is completely different, the engraving is so-so and the grade of wood is far from 3/4. Nice video but the Audio is crazy messed up. Edit to add: are those leg warmers you're sporting? Haven't seen those in America since the 80's women. I like..

[@michaelt.9372]

I got grade 3/4 on my 825. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

[@gregquinn9429]

Wish the US would get this version. The us sporting version is so plain and un-inspiring, comes off looking like a de-contented 725 at a higher price. The us prosport engraving is also less attractive and lacks the aggressive hand finish of the euro version. Really disappointed with our options on this side of the pond.
