Welcome back, exactly right over your comments on this and a much better review of this gun than others have done. PS. I'm glad you enjoyed my sarcastic comment on this gun on another channel. Take care.
Browning did the right thing building this gun on the 525 chassis but made the same mistakes with the hollow stock and poor balance of the Cynergy. A real shame. The laminates are superb guns to shoot. Thanks for posting Lloyd 👍👍
I swapped a 525gl for one a few weeks ago. Without weights your right....bloody awful. 160grams of 725 stock weight later and its a different beast. TGS outdoors said the same. Put it this way...Im keeping it !
Strange how they missed with this one. Their composit version of the Maxus 2 is excellent. It's also way too expensive, composite stocks usually occupy the budget end of the range. Shopping around you can get a new Sporter One adjustable for just a little bit more £.
Good honest review. Haven't seen one in the flesh yet 1800 quids a lot of money for something to throw around the pigeon hide think I'd rather spend a grand on a used one dressed in timber.
Morning lloyd. Just went and shot my 1st 100 clays using hull cartridges superfast. No problems with cartridges. Probably made 1001 mistakes myself. Bruised shoulder so no doubt mounting gun wrong. Using swatcom headsets. Found these very intrusive when shooting.any advice be welcoming
Hey Lloyd. Yeah, missed you (well, ghe channel anyways ;) ). Thanks for the video's, as the choice between Browning (advocated by you) and Beretta (advocated by Jonny) wasn't that obvious for me. Both handle great and shoot flawless (for me anyways), and as i was looking to get into clay shooting, i greatly appreciate both of you for the work you put into these channels. I ended up getting a Browning, in part to your video's, also the deal i got on it, and maybe a little cause it's made locally here. Thx!
@@lloydyp Hey Lloyd. No, i don't live in Japan, i live in Belgium. FN owns Browning (or something) but i just googled, and it seems the 725 is made in Japan.. who knew (i didn't 😅)
Of course, manufacturers are looking for new materials, a new modern design and improvements. Plastic shafts are increasingly being used in production. For hunting, plastic may well be useful, but plastic cannot replace a beautiful wooden stock.
Other reviews came to the same conclusion, great gun once it’s balanced. Big mistake not sending it with the weights included. My buy a new gun and then have to spend more money finishing it off for the manufacturer ?
In the states, we can get anything you want in tactical plastical. But hardly anything in laminate. As far as shotguns that is. I don't understand......
Meglio il legno. Ma Browning costruisce fucili impeccabili a prezzi molto accessibili. Ne ho cinque, tra tiro e caccia. Sparati migliaia di colpi, mai un minimo problema. Finiture eccellenti, fucili eterni.
Good to see a review that doesn't pull its punches. Much better than certain reviewers who give every gun a glowing report.
Brilliant review mate, it’s a breath of fresh air to see pure honesty

Nice review and honest feedback on areas of improvement. Thanks for sharing
Nice to see you back mate!!!
Thanks for the honest review. Glad to see you

I think weights would make a massive difference, which is why they should come with the gun.
@@lloydyp totally agree.
Keep up the great work 👍

I don't think i'v heard anyone have a good word to say about this B525 👎
Another Great Review Lloyd 💯, thanks for Sharing it 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
A couple of channels have given it a glowing review. 🤷♂
@@lloydyp😧 I after admit Lloyd ,when I first saw it I did like the look 😳
A no nonsense review at its best.
On the American version we get a black receiver and only 28 or 30" barrels. And Browning won't sell the weight system here, either.
Good honest review. Haven't seen one in the flesh yet 1800 quids a lot of money for something to throw around the pigeon hide think I'd rather spend a grand on a used one dressed in timber.
thank you for a honest review
Real-world honest down to earth review. I am not a strict traditionist, but timber is hard to beat.
Honest and excellent review, thx!

Can't give away a 525 in Canada. Loads of them for sale for years.
Great video mate thanks from Ireland 👍

You live in Japan? Would love to hear what the shooting is like out there. And you are very welcome. Glad you enjoy your show.

@stevet4962 every day is a school day 😂
With the Perazzi gone, what do you intend on replacing it with?
I already replaced it. Video out soon.
What a mistake. @@lloydyp

Thank you for a real review!
You are welcome.
Great to see new content.
Probably have to fill the hollow plastic stock to add a Falcon Strike on this little kicking mule!
To me, what they should have done is reduce the barrel weight by using a short center rib like on the 686 White Wing or other lightweight field guns.
Honest and fair review.
How much for a plastic stock? .... I'll keep my 425 black ultra with actual wood
Good honest review,unfortunately it looks like one to avoid. The look on your face during the review said it all.
Other reviews came to the same conclusion, great gun once it’s balanced. Big mistake not sending it with the weights included. My buy a new gun and then have to spend more money finishing it off for the manufacturer ?
"Large bearing surface that if not meticulous cared for will become loose"? Large bearing surface should make it not shoot loose but the opposite.
A good honest review ❤
Glad I have the b525sl
Where do you live i wanna meet you i am from india i love your content

Should have just made another laminate, in a different color.
Couldn’t agree more with you
Cheap and nasty looking browning are going backwards

No thanks
