Two weeks ago Scheels had shotgun demo days at my local sporting clays course. I was asking the Browning rep if he had any pull so we could get a 725 in 16. He said that nothing was in the works. However he told me that Runnings had a run of 200 525 fields in 16 gauge made for them. The Bismarck store had two last week with 28" barrels. They are asking $2000 for them. Somehow I left the store without one.

Was the wood on the 525's anything special or just barn siding?

All the 16 gauge 525 Sporting models that I have seen (including the one I have and my shooting buddy) they are Grade III, but also had a retail price of about $3,000 when new.

I have a sporting model as well with gorgeous wood. These are grade 1 field models. I can email pics if somebody wants to see them.

Anybody here have any influence with any browning reps. Sure would be nice to have a 725 with 32" barrels. My 525 is 32" love it.

The wood finish on my (2007?) 525 is a oil finish. It was a kind of minimum finish from the factory. building it up with some stock oil did bring out a bit more grain, and a nicer more weather resistant finish.

I prefer the oil finish to the gloss acrylic type finish the majority of Citori guns get.

Take a look at the B. Rizzini BR110 can order with 32" barrels standard production comes in 30" barrels. Lot more reasonable price than the browning.

The BR110 is a 7.5 pound gun. What is the weight of the 525 field, the add says 6.8 pounds.

Reviving old post.... but...just picked up one of these on gun broker. The “Runnings 525 special run”. $1910 shipped with a case of federal wing shock and a fancy fuzzy leather gun box. Can’t beat that with a stick, or the plainish stock, lol. They had 5 left. 4 now!!!
