USA? Flat rib or ramped like the 725?

 

flat rib

 

Cool!
In my opinion browning struggles with packaging here. Ramped ribs, porting, no hard cases, tacky hi viz sights instead of just using Bradley beads, gold accents instead of black and silver, on and on. Hopefully they get this one right!

 

I can't wait to see one!!

 

How, much does, it weight?.
Give it 6 months, after the initial release and they will offer it in sub gauges.

32" is listed at 7 lbs 10 oz...

 

I'll stick with my SK FIELD 16ga.

 

I've had several Citori's over the years (decades?). In general, I don't like porting but absolutely refused to buy a 725 because of the unattractive forend that the guns imported into the US come with. Hopefully the porting will be deleted on the 825. And the gun will come with a better looking forend. And mechanical triggers would definitely be a plus. Add a Bradley white sight instead of the HiViz Pro-Comp and I'll be first in line to purchase one.

 

That forend is the one thing that helped me make the decision to buy my 725! I like the thinner profile. That's the best thing about the Citori. There is a model for everyone.

 

I don’t see why it’s necessary for a $3500 gun to have mechanical triggers. Browning stubbornly marketed the hell out of non mechanical “mechanical” triggers, and obviously it wasn’t up to snuff. They need to ditch that sinking ship and go with standard citori triggers. It was a stupid endeavor on their part. Fake mechanical triggers? How about take that money and give us a damn case. Eu brownings come in a nice hard plastic case.

 

some 725`s had issues on the second shot when using sub gauge tube sets. a true mechanical trigger should not have any issue with tubes sets.

How would a dealer have an 825 when browning hasn’t even announced one yet?

I was wondering the same exact thing

 

We've heard all this before so color me skeptical.
I don't understand the fascination with mechanical triggers and we've heard that before too, "true mechanical triggers."
What was the balance dynamic of the gun in your hands? Without beefing up the action or lightening the barrels it'll still be a nose heavy gun.

 

to me the gun felt well balanced. true mechanical triggers will benefit those that use sub gauge tubes sets, no issues resetting the second shot.

 

Look forward to seeing one if this is on the level. Hoping that the matte finish will not become the new standard, I know it is "in fashion" but looks cheap to me.
Must also comment about those who continually bad mouth the 725's "phony mechanical trigger", from what I've seen most who say that have not owned one. I own three725's and the trigger is one of the best features in my opinion, light, crisp and consistent, far better most inertia guns that I've shot.

 

Did the forearm have a schnabel ?

 

no

 

If a 825 is in the works. I’m sure we will start seeing info coming out of browning around shot show in January. My father in law has two 725s. One has a set of tubes. The trigger had to have work done twice to shoot the 410 tubes. Works great now.

 

The Browning reps do have 825s

 

I hope browning has success with it
But I'll stick to my custom O/U'S

 

It’s a little surprising to me that browning wouldn’t take the opportunity to go more directly up against the 694. They could easily keep the 725 in its current price range and have the 825 be a step up- sort of like the 725 is with the CX.

 

No idea why they wouldn’t bring the pro sporter here. And the eu sporters get flat ribs, and nice square rib posts that aren’t those godforsaken oblong oval posts holding up a square rib. I’m tellin ya browning just doesn’t want to be competitive here for some reason.

 

They don't need to that's why
Not enough demand /profit margin for the pro sporter here to make it worth it
if I understand it correctly.
Randy has, said the 725 is, the best selling o/u in the u.s

Yeah, cause the 725 pro takes up all the demand and profit margin 🙄

 

Forend is similar to 725 in size with a softer cut tip. No porting. The reciever has some changes. Supposed to be full mechanical triggers but I can't verify that for sure.
Just like shootem said.

 

I never understood why folks think mechanical triggers are better. Lots of Berettas, Perazzis and Citoris with tube sets and their inertia triggers work just fine.
I’d rather Browning worked on their bottom barrel failure to fire issues instead!

 

Citori shouldn’t have mechanical triggers. It should have dead simple dead reliable inertia triggers. It’s a Camry. Camry doesn’t have a dual clutch transmission and air ride. It’s a Camry. People want cheap reliable and easy to fix. Features that are on par with the price segment

 

Europe gets a 725 with a round knob, too. We get porting no one has wanted for 15 years and chintzy engraving.

 

I'm pretty sure Randy

 

Looks, like, a, real bad photo shop to me

 

Ruger did make the Red Label in 28 gauge. I handled a few of them.

 

No you didn’t. Randy said they never made them. Not a single one. It’s okay. I misremember stuff sometimes too.

 

I'm sorry, not being familiar with everyone here, I'm a bit in the dark. Is that a jab at Randy?

I most certainly did.

 

I'll have a look at 'em when I can see one IRL. If it sings to me, I'll buy one. Been pretty happy with my 725.
