New Browning B525 Game Laminated over-and-under shotgun
Browning International introduces the B525 Game Laminated 12-gauge over-and-under hunting shotgun, featuring a laminate tapered handguard and buttstock with pistol grip, for increased weight and solidity, providing better control and lower recoil even with the hottest 3" loads
The new Browning B525 Game Laminated 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun, freshly announced in Europe and other Countries just in time for the 2021 hunting season, is Browning International's first hunting shotgun to feature a laminated wood stock and handguard.
The Company has already had a sporting-oriented shotgun – the B525 Sporter Laminated – with a laminate wood stock and handguard for some time now. The choice of such a dense and heavy material, normally used for rifle stocks, allows Browning to provide for higher rigidity and perfect stability even with the hottest 76mm/3" loads.

And given how the Browning B525 Game Laminated was specifically conceived for waterfowling and small game hunting, shooters and hunters will indeed be able to exploit the extra push of full-power 12-gauge, 3" loads and hit targets much farther away without being forced to pay for it with a sore shoulder.
