Default Opportunity Knocks

I’ve been looking for a 28 gauge clays gun for quite some time.
Mostly Skeet but I can load for whatever.
I like Brownings and they fit me well. A 525 Sporting Golden Clays was my target gun.
Solid handsome guns. The search to find one bore no fruit.

This morning on Guns International.

30” non ported barrels, chrome lined, Midas choked, 10mm rib
I gave up a little on the wood but it is uncut and wears a Browning Factory “Sporter” 5/8” pad.
All of the 525 bells and whistles, looks to be unfired.
It will fit nicely in my modest cabinet.

We had a very nice clean slightly used Citori 725 32” 28 gauge in the shop for cleaning a year or two ago . That gun felt really good when you picked it up or so I thought .

Nice long-legged beauty. I have a 30" Dickinson with choke tubes. You'll enjoy that one.

The 525 is a very nice version of the Citori.
