    thanks again. I will simply shoot the beretta next week and take it from there. Does the monoblock design actually make a difference to anything though?

    the 'arghhhh' referred to the fact that all posts in this thread were giving the 525 the thumbs up but trev someone cane along and said the beretta was better. I just wanted to name my decision and purchase you see and now j have to try the beretta on Wednesday ! What about the silver pigeon anyone? Compared to the 525? Oh, and the instructor at the ground, who liked the 525, said the only thing he didn't like on the 525 was the monoblock and he prefered the 425. Thanks again everyone

    Arghhh. Just shot 50 with 525 sporter and liked it. My only concern was that to get my cheek bone resting correctly on the comb just didn't feel spot on, felt like the comb needed raising, is this possible? To be honest though I may just have not been holding right! Still felt good and got 40 out of 50 which I think is ok for a newbie! Will try the beretta on Wednesday. Thanks again all

    I'm so keen to get my first gun! All these people telling me to take time choosing........ but I'm not a patient man, never have been!!!! However I will take my time, I know I should.

    hey thanks for that! It really helped me. If I can't get to shoot the beretta tomorrow i think I will just go for the 525. I can't see me entering comps just yet so I don't think I have need for the titanium pins just yet! However, good to know its an option for the future. I don't mind spending around £1000 so I maybe able to get a new one for that with any luck. Thanks again everyone.

    thanks for that. If I was buying 2nd hand would you then suggest the 525 then? when you say the 525 has a weak firing pin how does this show itself in real terms shooting clays? 2nd shot sometimes not fire sometimes?

    well, to be honest, it's 25 years since I shot anything properly (other than the odd stag/lads day out at clays!) so I can't profess to know much about guns at all. So, with that in mind I am thinking of buying new though the gun shop that is "local" to me does say they will sort anything out with any of the 2nd hand guns they sell. I'm just a little worried that if I buy 2nd hand I have no real idea of what condition it is in the "inside" so to speak. So, leaning towards new! It's really hard not to rush out and buy instantly I can tell you! Just got the cert this week (4 weeks fr

    Thanks guys. I am leaning towards the 525 as its the only one I've actually shot and I liked it. I was being swayed by the cynergy looks and pr machine I have to say but I am reluctant to purchase any gun unless I've actually shot it! Have you tried the cynergy? In regards to the 525, any advice on model? I liked the sporter I handled in the shop but can't remember whhch one I shot at the clay ground.!! thanks

    I am looking for my first shotgun in 25 years and, purely by handling them in the gun shop, got down to 3 Browning 525 sporter browning cynergy black ice berretta 682 e all 30 inch barrels m/c Have handled them all but only shot the 525, which I liked No one at the shoot has either of the other 2 so can't try out Anyone shot 2 or more and can give me opinion? I will be shooting mainly clays by the way. Oh, the cynergy is on the list as I like the looks and have seen the promo video on the browning site. Oh, and it felt nice in the shop if slightly barrel heavy,
