B425
The modern-day reference
Of the same family as the B25, the
B425 represents without doubt the best value for money in its price-bracket on the market.
It is a very reliable gun which will last the whole of a hunter's life and beyond. The
B425 has been designed to shoot thousands of cartridges, without problems and without
excessive wear.
Extremely robust, the action frame of the
B425 is machined from a solid block of high-quality forged steel and the barrels are bored
from a single bar. Like all Brownings, the B425 includes all of the technological
innovations typical of the make: automatic hammer-operated ejectors, single selective
trigger, large, treated flat lock, one-piece hinge pin and of course engraving, which
confers such nobility on a fine gun.
The stock and forearm of the B425, made
from European walnut, receive a hand-rubbed oil finish. Only the B425 Waterfowl, which is
intended for intensive use in humid environments (sea, lakes, etc.) has a stock which
receives 4 coats of varnish. The Elite, Prestige and Ultimate grades are further
embellished by the use of superior-quality wood, fine chequering and increasingly refined
engravings.
The sports enthusiast will find the gun for him among the
different versions currently available:
B425
Hunter (or Hunter) Grade I
B425
Special Waterfowl Ca. 12 Mag.
B425
20 gauge Grade 1
A B425 20 gauge, chambered for magnum cartridges, is not
simply a reduced 12 gauge. It has its own identity and a very marked personality by virtue
of it semi pistol grip (a perfect compromise between looks and handling) and its narrow
forearm. The wood in European walnut, has an oil-rubbed finish.
B425
Elite 28 gauge
The use of a 28 gauge gun is both
new and extremely ancient. Did you know that in the 18th Century, throughout Europe,
smooth-bore firearms were all 24 or 28 gauge? Today, owning a 28 gauge is above all an
indefinable pleasure which the general finesse of the lines and the balance of this gun
provide. This pleasure will be all the greater when you discover the "Elite"
engraving and the superb oil-rubbed European walnut.
All over-and-under shotguns in this range are supplied
in an elegant black, 100% recyclable polypropylene carry case marked with the Browning
logo in gold.
