I was thinking of buying one of these this fall, but there seems to be allot of dislike for the 725 overall, can anyone tell me why?

Yep, Had one of the originals and the adjustable comb was junk. Swapped that out and it was a goer. If you look around a bit, some of stocks on the originals were outstanding looking. My wood was beautiful!

Browning’s are good guns for the money. The original Browning comb hardware sucks but you can avoid that by buying one from Guns Unlimited with their hardware, and if the trigger isn’t to your liking have a gunsmith correct it for you. Get one new and you won’t live long enough to wear it out. Good Luck!

The early 725 models had some troubles with the triggers. Browning claims that the 725 has mechanical triggers. This is not the case. When Browning first introduced the 725, their were a few issues with some guns triggers. Not all of the early production guns had issues. Only some of them. Browning fixed the issue rather quickly. If you look at Briley's website, you will notice that Briley charges extra money to convert the 725 triggers, if you ever plan on having the 410 sub-gauge tube-sets installed on your 725 shotgun. So the trigger in the 725 is not the same as the standard Citori shotgun line. The 725 has a more complicated trigger shall we say.
Other than this issue, which is rather minor IMO. The shotgun is a workhorse and will last longer than you will. Maintenance is rather light and inexpensive to care for as well. Whether you do the work, or pay to have the work done for you.
If your in the market to buy any Browning shotgun, I suggest you contact Guns Unlimited. Great prices, and their gunsmith can install adj. butt plates, and combs with top notch hardware. The comb's hardware on factory Browning's are cheap!!! break em all Jeff

Beasty1 I have the 725 trap adjustable or pro trap it’s been very good to me also as I have 50,000 plus rounds shot with it I do my own maintenance and have had no trouble with the adjustable comb you have to use the right tools on the older ones like mine . I have all the weights in the stock that come with it for 9.1 lbs I shoot trap and skeet with it .

I held a 725 double with adjustable comb. It was very nice compared to what I’m used to shooting. I’d love a combo from GU.
