Browning B825 Sporter Inv. DS

The Sporter 12M over-and-under shotgun is the version particularly designed for clay pigeon shooting in Browning's new B825 series, but it is also excellent for hunting.The new Browning B825 over-and-under shotgun – here in the Sporter 12M version – continues the success story that began exactly one hundred years ago with the legendary B25. A century of experience and the latest technical developments come together in this shotgun. This is evident not least in the significant improvements achieved in key areas compared to the predecessor model, the 725. The Sporter 12M version comes in a simple design but is unbeatable in clay pigeon shooting.

The Stock
The dimensions of the 375 mm long stock made of walnut ensure an optimal view over the rib and a quick target acquisition. Its surface is elegantly finished with an oil finish. The pistol grip has an ergonomically perfect shape, allowing the shooting hand to remain relaxed at all times. The grip surfaces there and on the fore-end are equipped with a pleasantly tactile fish skin texture. In the Sporter 12M version, stock weights for the Pro Balance system can be optionally purchased, allowing you to individually balance the B825.

Action and Locking Mechanism
Like all Browning shotguns, the steel action of the B825 Sporter 12M features a continuous hinge and conical locking lugs. This guarantees reliability and safety. The action is kept low and has a clear line design, which facilitates recoil control and minimizes barrel rise. Its surface is coated with a silver nitrate finish. This is highly wear-resistant and effectively protects against corrosion, contributing to the longevity of the shotgun. Hammer ejectors ensure prompt ejection of the hulls, and unfired cartridges are lifted for easy removal. The safety button also serves as the selector, making handling easier. The B825 is equipped with a mechanical Fire Lite 2 trigger system for optimal second shots. The dry, short, and quick release ensures high accuracy. The Sporter 12M shotgun is designed for the caliber 12/76.

The Barrels
The B825 features Back Bored Vector Pro barrels with an enlarged bore diameter and an extended transition cone. This construction principle increases speed and ensures better penetration. The 10 mm wide ventilated rib keeps the barrels cool and avoids distortion from heat mirage. The barrels are matte finished to avoid disturbing light reflections. The proven Invector DS Pro Extended chokes are used. These press against the barrel walls, protecting the threads and are easily replaceable even after heavy use. To optimize ballistics, they extend out of the barrels. You can choose between barrel lengths of 71 cm and 76 cm for the B825 Sporter 12 M.
