Knifebar 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi I was at the gun shop on Saturday to see what sort of gun I could afford. I was shown a Lanber Sport gun £550 new. A medalist £750 (new) but he then gave me a BROWNING 525 Advance 28" M/C. I was impressed I think it was Grade 2.5 not sure what that means. It felt brilliant fairly light beautiful pistol grip etc. etc. Has anyone got one of these guns as I did'nt ask him if it was steel proof or if I could shoot magnums? They were asking around £1100 for this gun. Knifebar Quote Link to post

It just felt a snug fit with nice lift and balance. I think I may have to buy on terms, ie need to put application to the wife to be passed for purchase. Knifebar Quote Link to post
The Sporting Agent 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Don't go near the Medalist; its not made by Browning; but the 525 model range is great. The "2" means grade of finish I suspect; Browning usually do a 1,2,3,4,5; 5 being the best, although they have started caling them prestige, ultra etc 525 = GREAT GUN Quote Link to post
Aaron 3 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 there a great gun, all the 525 are steel proofed and will take 3 inch cartridges. Regards Aaron Quote Link to post

THEN HAPPY DAYS. Never did but I think it's going to get its maiden voyage here. Although I have her "trapped". She wants to go on a Hen Weekend with some friends and she asked would it be OK, all I could think of was "CHECK MATE" or "BORWNING 525". Knifebar Quote Link to post
