Browning B525 Sporter I Reduced Stock Inv.+

With the B525 Sporter 1 Reduced Stock over-and-under shotgun, Browning has optimized its popular entry-level model for shooters whose requirements lie in short stocks.
With its extremely short stock, the over-and-under shotgun is ideal for female hunters or shorter shooters. The Browning B 525 over-and-under shotguns are an evolution of the popular B 325 and B 425 series and have delighted hunters and sport shooters for generations. The legendary original model, the B 25, was manufactured until the late 1970s and was globally appreciated for its robustness and good shooting performance. The good qualities of the B 25 can also be found in today's series.Action and LockThe action of the B 525 Sporter One Reduced Stock is machined from a forged steel piece and features a durable silver nitride finish. It carries its name and the intricate logo of the gunsmith in a purely minimalist fashion. The mechanism of the lock is also top-notch and absolutely reliable: The shotgun locks via two parallel rear barrel hooks. A wide, flat locking wedge that engages across the entire width into the hooks significantly increases the locking surface and provides additional stability. The high-quality hinge pin with an extra wide diameter of 8 mm also guarantees a long service life. The hammer ejectors operate extremely safely and powerfully. They are based on the design of Holland & Holland, although modern coil springs are used for the hammers.Safety and TriggerThe trigger safety is ergonomically optimally positioned on the stock neck. The safety slider is also responsible for barrel selection. The wide slider is simply moved left or right for barrel selection. The single trigger is controlled via a recoil switch. It releases at a trigger weight of approximately 1500 g without any prior dry firing.Barrel SetThe barrel sets of the Browning B 525 Sporter One Reduced Stock are manufactured with lengths of 71 cm or 76 cm. The barrel is equipped with a 10 mm wide rib. The barrel and chamber are hard chrome plated on the inside, providing optimal rust protection. A special highlight is the back-bored barrel technology. The shotgun barrel slightly tapers from back to front, resulting in a softer transition at the choke. This measurably increases shot speed, significantly reduces recoil, and greatly improves coverage. The extra long and interchangeable Invector-Plus choke inserts have been specially developed for the back-bored barrels.StockThe Browning 525 B 525 Sporter One Reduced Stock features an appealing hunting stock made of high-quality walnut wood class 2 with textured checkering on the fore-end and pistol grip. The fore-end ends in an elegant schnabel, and the entire stock is meticulously polished and oiled, highlighting the high quality of workmanship of the entire shotgun. The pistol grip has been angled steeper in this version to ensure safe handling of the trigger even for small hands. The stock is finished with a 20 mm wide, elastic, and smooth Inflex II recoil pad, which significantly reduces recoil and simultaneously slides quickly and securely into the shoulder when shouldered.Caliber: 12/76Included in delivery: Instruction manual, 4 interchangeable chokes (¼, ½, ¾, Full), choke key, ABS case, trigger lockTechnical Data:
