We seem to forget that Browning has had a custom shop for many decades now - and the B25 custom grades are simply incredible. A very "quiet" shop, with every skilled artisan busy on a certain part of the process of making a Browning. Truly fantastic video gentlemen, absolutely wonderful. Thank you from Missouri, USA.

FN as a company takes pride in all their products. These custom Brownings are no exception! Great video. It makes me upset when I see some of the guns that are available to the European market that are not as easily accessible to us in the USA but, Im sure the feeling is mutual coming the other direction too!

People either don’t know or have forgotten that John Mosses Browning invented the over under shot gun. Browning as a company has always advanced their design to keep their over under shotguns at the forefront and absolute best on the market. I purchased a Browning Citori CXS 20 gauge two years ago. I’ve put thousands of rounds through it and it is flawless. This gun is built to last for generations as are all Brownings.

Interesting you think they would have some sort of information on their official website. I had no clue that they made higher end shotguns but it’s because I’ve shopped browning website many times and I’ve never seen anything about that. The only stuff they sell is the mass market!
