Another powerful review Matthew and very informative. Your reviews are priceless and always a pleasure. The 425 grade 6 review is undoubtedly of a beautiful gun which I think is very similar to my 525 Prestige except the engraving on the action is silver finish. However the 525 trigger is gold but adjustable. The weight is also spot on as you say at 7lbs 12ozs. Another contributor made an interesting comment that the equivalent today is the crown.

Thank you for your comment and kind words. Indeed the grade 6 (Ultimate) is virtually identical to the grade 5 (Prestige) apart from the gold. Certainly at the time the Heritage was the grade 6’s replacement in terms of a 525. Following the recent relaunch of the 525 Prestige in game specification (initially a limited edition) that would put the 525 Crown as a grade 6 equivalent yes. Kind regards, Matthew

Very well presented and informative video, thank you. I’ve just stumbled across your channel and impressed with the focus on some of the older icons that I was fortunate enough to grow up around, including Belgian Brownings and solid old Berettas. I have a 12b Miroku mk60 grade 6 32”, a pretty little 20b Beretta S687, an old AYA 16b s/s , and I’m just moving on my late father’s 30” 12b B2G, and replacing it with a B425 Grade 6 as featured in this video but a 30” 20b version which I think is a nice find. It’s also been pressure tested so future proofed for years to come. I’ve been off the shooting scene a bit for probably 15 years, and only shot a few times a year, I’ve sort of ignored the influx of Krieghoffs, Blasers and Ceaser Guerinis that don’t really interest me. Now my son is 7 I am looking forward to picking it up again a bit more regularly and teach him, it’s nice these old dinosaurs can still be considered a class act. Amongst many guns I learned to shoot with, I also remember having a 20b Remington 1100. I quite fancy one of those again for the cabinet, perhaps a .410 for the novelty factor. Maybe it would be nice to have a review of that iconic gun. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful Shotgun 💯 Great Review , Thank you 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Beautiful is the word. I’ve owned a pair of Belgium O/U in 12 ga. and 20 but enjoyed having a 20ga. Miroku as my edc for grouse and partridge. After selling the Miroku I carried a 12ga. S/S Greener for all game. The only thing that I prized more was my springer spaniel out of Saighton Smug (Wales). A total “bird machine”!

Great video as usual Matt.....always wanted a 425 but couldn't afford it and had to start with a Browning medallist back in 94. Maybe u could review one of those as I thought they were a great starter gun.

Hello Matt! Excellent video and excellent work! Thanks a lot for the contetn you are putting here!

There is a good possibility that gun was originally destined for the US market since it lacks "tear drops". I've seen one each 425's and 525's here with tear drops and both had UK proof marks. I'm guessing they were both imported after their original sale in the UK.

Yes nice guns ,I always thought the 325 g 6 was a lot better awesome, a deeper engraving & stronger more gold colour

hello! please tell me, on many brownings, including that in the video, the following is clearly expressed: the check from the upper barrel is located less deeply than the check from the lower barrel, the lower one is deeper by 1 ml, and judging by the gun from this video it is clear that the gun is of the highest class and it is unlikely that such an arrangement of chokes is a marriage. tell me, please, is it the idea of engineers to arrange the chokes like this, or is it an acceptable error??

What is the purpose of the centre bead?

@eastfieldgunroom

8 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. My understanding has always been that the centre bead is there for a reference point. Many people that close an eye to shoot certainly seem to prefer them and also beginners as it allows them to get a more consistent head position in terms of lining the beads up.
