67gtonut 847 Posted November 15, 2010 Found one used..... Need opinions if anyone has held or shot one... From what I have learned..... made by FN, the same company that makes some of the Brownings..... in fact this gun has been compared to the Browning 525.

tony357 386 Posted November 15, 2010 Thats not an auto loader.. sweet O/U... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parker 213 Posted November 16, 2010 What barrel length, 28" or 30"? Tried a friend's at Thunder Mtn. some years ago when they first came out. A bit different than Browning's 425/525 as the Winchester's receiver is shallower than the Browning-syle lockup. I think an O/U is more versatile as both a field and clays gun and it can be put to good use for any of the clays games by the merits of its single sighting plane with two different chokes. Any O/U than begins with B, B, SKB or W would be a solid shooter. It's just a matter of taste and style in what you want. Just make sure the gun fits you properly before you purchase. That's equally as important. BTW - The new Browning 625's are starting at something like $2,600! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maideneddie 35 Posted November 16, 2010 Boy I guess your buddy Brian could sell ice to an eskimoe I thought you were sold on an autoloader? Looks like a solid gun Troy, but I would try to shoulder one before buying it. God forbid it doesn't fit right, because I'm not sure I can afford this right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenw 293 Posted November 16, 2010 No, I'll let Troy buy it, and if it doesn't work out for him, I'll be a good friend and take it off his hands for a ridiculously low fire sale price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
