The 725 is very Beretta-like...slim etc...but nobody makes a Beretta, like Beretta...so look at a Beretta, perhaps

I just got a MK38 and in my humble opinion it's got to be one of the best buys out there, went thorough the proof house in Belgium, I had a MK70 which was a little low for me so instead of paying to have it altered I PX it for a new MK38 adjustable stock trap , I have never shot sporting better, I swear it goes where you point it, after my ramblings whats the Browning equivalent to the MK38 , the MK70 was the 525.
I still like the Tiger Cub and yes down the rd in a cloud of blue smoke . what happened to two stroke

Tried a couple when I first started shooting last year, and just didn't get on with them.The 725 is very Beretta-like...slim etc...but nobody makes a Beretta, like Beretta...so look at a Beretta, perhaps
Maybe the 725 is too much like a Beretta and I don't get on with that either.
Maybe a year on I should try them again.

I have a mkII 525 and i belive it to be a better package than an mk38, i love the game scene engraving on a grade 1, half decent wood, adjustable trigger blade, stainless steel invector plus chokes and ventilated mid rib. Whats not to like?

I got my browning sporting (which they don't make now) for £1350 brand new, which I thought wasn't a bad price.

Well I've got 'em both, and like them both. My regular go to is the mirook, but the 525 just feels nice to shoot, grade 3 wood and a nice scene on it.

Interesting thread, covers just about everything
I fancy a browning cynergy, i think the looks are stunning,
Mind you , that said, it wouldnt be the first time ive bought somthing based on looks, only to find it failed to perform
That said, ive heard that they are a nice gun to shoot
re the motor side of things, i'm spoilt , working within spitting distance of Goodwood race circuit, my daily aural treat is the whine of V8's & 12's with some exotica thrown in for good measure ......
However i have to say, the sound that does it for me is the vulcan at 90% throttle :bow:

To combine a fitting response that features guns and cars; think of a Cynergy as Reliant Robin.Interesting thread, covers just about everything

The Browning rep advised me against them. I thought that was pretty damning.I fancy a browning cynergy, i think the looks are stunning,

There is also a Citori - Is that any good?
I think it's the B 5.25 that is the rock solid traditional Browning

I think it may have been the same engine as in the Hillman Imp, was called a "Coventry Climax" engine Pete?

Coventry climax fire pump engine, got as far as F1, half of one became the Imp engine. I had one in an early race car boy could that thing rev, not fantastic for reliability. Robin reliant basis of the 750MC 750 Formula another incredible little lump, not related to the Imp though. Good piece for nostalgia nuts, that'l be me then.

Friend of mine had a speed boat back in the 60's with a stage 2 Coventry Climax engine in it, Boy did that thing go!! Remember chasing cormorants up the River Teighn in it with a 5 shot Franchi. In those days there was a bounty on them because of the damage that they did to fish stocks.
My how things have changed in the past 50 years.
