Hi, my son wants to buy a clay gun. He has tried several and is down to Browning 525 or 725. Some say the 525 is better built, what are members experiences and views pleas
ive had both , both great guns but I'm currently shooting my 525 sl ( sporter laminate ) the 725 is a low profile action and mechanical triggers the ds chokes are superb , but i prefer the 525 bigger action and my laminate stock is easy to care for and weighs in at 8lb 4ozs nice weight for a sporter the midas chokes are good , no issues with recoil , but its what feels best for you , try out both ! great reviews by lloyd pattison on youtube .Hi, my son wants to buy a clay gun.

I learned MANY years ago that you can take 4 or 5 different Browning/Miroku guns out of their boxes and each one can feel totally different. 2 years ago I went with a newcomer to the sport to buy his first gun, a Miroku MK38. He was a left hooker. We tried around 6 different new guns but the 1 that fitted him best of all, was a right hander. Beretta guns are machined to such fine tolerances, that I do not think they vary much from gun to gun. Browning/Miroku guns can vary vastly. Which is why you should really TRY the gun of your choice.As has been said, try them, the replies you get are those persons opinion to them of that gun. When I first started I thought the 525 laminate was for me, but when handling it it just felt to light and the forend to slim 'for me'. Now those first impressions made me think all Brownings would be the same, wrong. Just on the off chance I tried a 725 Pro sport after selling my Beretta 686 and as soon as I picked it up I thought this seems to fit just perfect to me straight out of the box so to speak.I almost didn't try it as I was thinking Browning wont suit me because of the first impressions I had with the 525
