    Browning B525 Liberty Light question,

    Hi guys, Can you order in one of these b525 Liberty's for my wife(?) I can't seem to find them and wondered if they're not available; or if the north American market uses a different name?

    Designed specially for lady shooters, this stunning new addition to the Browning range is likely to become a highly sought after lightweight 12-bore shotgun.

    What’s new?

    Although Browning has produced a lightweight range for some time, this new addition breaks the mould due to some new and exciting characteristics.

    • Weight is just under 6lbs (2.7kg)
    • New style engraved aluminium 
action frame
    • New style Monte Carlo stock, in 
American grade 2/3 walnut.
    • Diana Extended Chokes.
    • Back-bored 28in or 30in barrels.
    • Inflex Recoil Pad.

    The gun instantly impresses and exudes quality. Picking it up, its lightness, balance and feel give it the dignity and authority of a high quality gun.

    Designed for the lady shooter

    Primarily designed for the lady shooter it also works well as a training and coaching gun. It would also suit younger and smaller shooters of all ages.

    As a gun for walked-up and rough shooting days, I would rather have this over my arm than lug around my usual game gun. It would certainly be my go-to choice.

    Instructor Rose Thomas tested the Liberty Light

    For the test I enlisted the help of a lady shooter, Rose Thomas of Kibworth Shooting Ground who is a qualified shooting instructor. After using it she said: “What a fabulous gun, I could get to like this – a lot, and it’s an ideal choice for teaching newcomers to the sport. I love it”.

    The higher than usual comb prevents any shooter from being too low and not being able to see the barrels, giving a more head-up position for visual target acquisition.

    Conclusion

    I’ve shot a lot of different guns during my life and have to say that this is the first lightweight gun that I would want to own.

    I said earlier that it possesses a dignity and quality, and by that I mean it has a pedigree and class that I find very attractive. It handles very well and so sweetly. It offered me a “liberating” experience.

    Nice. I know there might be an extended timeline in place, but I would appreciate a heads up when they become available. Is there someone I can email, or somewhere I can watch for their release and pricing?
    Thankyou

    Just thinking of my sub 6lbs 12 gauge single shot and I fail to see how this will be the ultimate woman's shotgun. I would think it would kick like a mule. I put 3/4lb of lead in the butt of my single shot and now it is quite pleasant to shoot, but before that it was pretty rough.
    I like guns....

    well...its a over under, not a single shot so it can be used for more than hunting and trapp...its similar to a larger gun, but lighter, so realistically it will be well suited to smaller men as well that want to go skeet shooting.... really it sounds like a good all around gun.
