NEW
Heritage Hunter
Here is Browning’s new top-range over-and-under hunting gun. The
Heritage is the direct descendent of the side-plated B 25 and has
inherited all its elegance. The engraving on its action-frame is a creation
by Cesare Giovanelli, the Italian master who has trained most of the
engravers in Italy today. The stock is made from carefully oil-finished topquality walnut. With its rounded half-pistol stock and its tulip fore-end,
this shotgun pays real homage to the B25, of which it is a worthy cousin.
The Browning Heritage is luxury and reliability available to all.
B525
THE B525

SEMI-TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURE OF THIS WEAPON EXPLAINS THIS IMPECCABLE QUALITY. THE WORLD
OF HAND-MADE CONSTRUCTION REIGNS OVER THIS SHOTGUN, WHICH
IS ASSEMBLED A FIRST TIME – IN A DUMMY RUN – BEFORE BEING
POLISHED, ENGRAVED, HARDENED AND THEN RE-ASSEMBLED. AT EVERY
ASSEMBLY OPERATION, CONTACT SURFACES ARE CHECKED USING RED
OCHRE ON BOTH METAL AND THE WOOD AND THEN HAND-FILED FOR
PERFECT FITTING. IT IS THIS ATTENTION FOR DETAIL, THIS QUEST FOR PERFECTION AND FOR HONOURING GUNSMITHS’ TRADITIONS, THAT GIVES THE
B525 ITS WELL-JUSTIFIED REPUTATION FOR LONG LIFE. THE B 525,
THE FIFTH GENERATION OF BROWNING’S OVER-AND-UNDER HUNTING
GUN BUILT ON THE BASIS OF THE FAMOUS B25, ALL OF BROWNING’S

BEEN INCREASED BEYOND
“Back-bored” ensures that there is less friction between the shot and
the wall of the barrel. Instead of having to overcome friction, more of
the energy generated by the gunpowder gases serves to propel the
cartridge, thus increasing the velocity of the load.
The shot retains its ballistic quality.
The force of the pressure exerted by the barrel wall on the load is
reduced, thus reducing the number of deformed pellets fired
2. IMPROVED SHOT PATTERN
The ballistic characteristics are improved and you achieve exceptionally
uniform shot patterns with many more effective pellets hitting the
target.

Fusion Evolve II Gold 12M
FUSION EVOLVE
THE FUSION EVOLVE IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE MOST SOPHISTICATED AND
THE MOST “INTELLIGENT” OF ALL THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUNS ON THE
MARKET. WITH ITS ACTIVE VALVE PILOTED GAS-OPERATED SYSTEM, IT CAN
FIRE CALIBRE 12 CARTRIDGES FROM 28 TO 56 G, OR ORDINARY N°
12S (70 MM) OR 12 MAGNUMS (76 MM) WITHOUT ANY MANUAL
ADJUSTMENTS BEING REQUIRED. THE ACTIVE VALVE ONLY USES A STRICT
MINIMUM OF GAS TO GUARANTEE PERFECT RE-LOADING AND THE LONGEST
POSSIBLE MECHANICAL LIFE.
SPEED LOADING GUARANTEES ULTRA-FAST LOADING, WHEN YOU NEED
TO FIRE AN EXTRA CARTRIDGE JUST AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IN JUST
ONE MOVEMENT, SLIDE THE CARTRIDGE INTO THE MAGAZINE TUBE AND
IT IS CHAMBERED IMMEDIATELY. ASSOCIATED WITH THE CUT OFF, SPEED
LOADING EVEN LETS YOU CHANGE A CARTRIDGE ALREADY IN THE CHAMBER
FOR ANOTHER ONE THAT YOU SLIDE INTO THE EJECTION OPENING WITHOUT
MOVING ANY OF THE CARTRIDGES IN THE MAGAZINE. IT IS A SURE, FAST
AND SIMPLE SYSTEM.
FOR ALL THESE REASONS AND, OF COURSE, BECAUSE
BROWNING SHOTGUN POSSESSES A HIGH-PERFORMANCE STEEL-SHOT

1. RELIABILITY & VERSATILITY
The Fusion’s piston has an “Active Valve system” regulating valve inside
it. This regulating valve works independently of the piston, which make
it more efficient than other gas operated systems and means that it
lasts longer.
THE
MOST EFFICIENT SHOTGUN IN THE FIELD.
2. EXCEPTIONAL BARREL
• The Fusion Evolve’s Back-Bored barrel and its new, ventilated rib which
is silver-welded are synonymous with great rigidity. The advantage of
this strength when firing is that the points of impact are perfectly
consistent and regular. Your shot pattern isn’t scattered.
• The Fusion Evolve semi-automatic shotguns’ barrels are completely
interchangeable, so you can change them easily. Depending on your
type of hunting, you could use a 61cm, 66cm, 71 cm or 76cm barrel
on the same gun.
3. SPEED LOADINGTM
Express loading system
The exclusive Speed Loading (*) and Cut Off combination gives Browning
semi-automatic shotguns the following advantages:
• Express loading • Instantaneous cartridge loading in the chamber •
Complete safety with the breech open
• Immediate reloading by disabling the Cut Off
• Ultra fast
• Extremely simple to load
• Just one action is required to load your gun: with the breech open,
simply insert a cartridge into the magazine tube and it will be
chambered automatically.

36 g
56 g
• With light loads, the piston uses most of the energy generated by the
gases for perfect operation.
• With heavy loads, the excess gas is rejected through the piston’s side
ventilation holes.
• Operates perfectly with all cartridges from 28 g to 56g.
• The regulating valve has 3 segments which ensure that it is perfectly
tight and that the magazine tube is

• Back Bore Technology barrels allow you to get the very best
performance out of the cartridge:
• An increase in velocity and penetration
• Improved shot patterns
• A 6% reduction in recoil

• Excellent balance and ergonomy.
• Ambidextrous safety devices, quick, easy adaptation.
• Hammer safety device exclusive to Browning, safer than simply a
trigger safety device.
• All hunting or sport shotguns (over-and-under or semi-auto guns) by
Browning, Winchester and Miroku fitted with original chokes (Invector,

1. THE QUALIFICATION OF NEW PRODUCTS
Before they are launched onto the market, Browning guns undergo
numerous, very strict Browning internal tests. No product will be validated if it fails to completely fulfil the following requirements:
BROWNING ARMS COMPANY QUALITY DEMANDS
1.1 OPERATION AND ENDURANCE TESTS
•
•
•
•
Minimum of 2 000 shots for rifles
Minimum of 5 000 shots for hunting shotguns
Minimum of 10 000 shots for sports shotguns
Test conditions: the gun is cooled down every 50 shots and cleaned
every 500 shots
• The full range of cartridges of different makes is used.
• No part breakage is tolerated.
• Once the test has been completed, none of the parts should be
excessively worn..
1.2 TESTS IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS
• The gun should operate at extreme temperatures : from -30°C to
+50°C
1.3 “TORTURE TESTS“
All of these torture tests are carried out in extreme conditions that
greatly exceed those of the conventional C.I.P. standards. Browning
guns’ legendary solidity and reliability are largely due to them passing all
of these tests.
• Overload tests for all guns
• Obstruction tests for rifles
• Safety tests : drop tests for all guns
48
Browning’s extremely stringent quality checks impose a systematic inspection of each serial gun which is screened during numerous checks
and tests.
2.1 GUN CHECKS
• Visual inspection of each product : gun + packaging
• Systematic measuring of certain points : headspace, chamber dimensions, weight, specific dimensions...
2.2 GUN TESTS
• Manual operation tests.
• Shooting tests : operation and accuracy.
2.3 ACCURACY TESTS
• For rifles: very precise check on bullet grouping.
• For shotguns: • P.O.I. ( Point Of Impact) test which is the shot pattern’s average point or centre of aim.
• This test is carried out at 35 m with different points of
aim depending on the product and therefore its use:
• For under-and-over shotguns, the maximum difference between 2 shot
patterns’ centres should not exceed 10 cm with a convergence set
at 35m.
• Systematic check on the quality of the lead shot patterns using computerised analysis to guarantee operation and extreme reliability.

The Elite version of the CCS 525 has brand new engraving on the
steel action frame, which is richer and deeper and is finished by hand.
The grade 3 walnut stock has also been re-worked to give it a more
traditional, finer design. Good looks and handling along with this double
express rifle’s technical qualities make it the ideal battue gun.

Browning recommends
CCS 525
Browning has been the leading producer of express over and under rifles
for decades. With the introduction of the CCS 525 in the 525 range,
Browning wanted to provide the demanding hunter with a gun that is
attractive, while at the same time guaranteeing flawless operation and
unequalled accuracy, and that can be easily adjusted to accept the
different types of cartridge available on the market.
CCS 525 adjustment
système de wedge

Browning has reinvented the Express Rifle
The barrels, the essential part of this gun, are both traditional and
original. A spacer on the upper barrel ensures the accuracy of the
vertical convergence of the barrels, while lateral convergence is
ensured by the design of the barrel itself, which incorporates a unique
“Cradle“ strip. Once the ammunition has been chosen, a spacer ring is
recommended and inserted securely under the foresight on the upper
barrel, guaranteeing unequalled accuracy. (*).
The weight and balance are perfect for current hunting conditions.
The action frame has been strengthened by means of high strength
stainless steel inserts.
Very special attention has been paid to every detail of this gun: a “hog’s
back“ stock with a Bavarian cheek piece, an accentuated tulip-shaped
forearm for greater elegance, a fluorescent optical fibre foresight and a
traditional battue rib allowing a scope to be mounted by a gunsmith in
minimum time. The animal engravings with which it is decorated make
this a very special and unique rifle.
Exclusive barrel convergence adjustment system: Cannot be unset and
can be adapted to different types of ammunition.
Thanks to this system, the double Express CCS525 rifles are originally
set to 60m by the Liège Test Bench and the 2 impacts should be within
a 5 cm square. The ammunition used is Winchester Partition 12.96 g
and 18.53 g for 8x57JRS and 9.3x74R calibres, for the 30R Blaser,
it is Blaser CDP 10.7 g ammunition. If you would like to use different
ammunition you should adapt your gun using one of the 7 adjusting rings
that are delivered with your gun.
System operation:
Whatever the diameter of the adjusting ring mounted at the gun’s
muzzle, the barrel convergence angle maintains a natural pressure and
therefore a permanent contact between the muzzle of the upper barrel
and the barrel spacer wedge.
As this wedge is itself silver-brazed on the lower barrel, we are certain
during firing that the position of the upper barrel’s muzzle in relation to
the lower barrel will be constantly maintained.
(*) It is essential that this operation is carried out by your gunsmith.

HUNTING
• The undisputed leader, Browning is the semi-automatic rifle specialist.
• 42 years’ experience, the first BAR was launched in 1966.
• Over 1.000.000 BARs sold in the world
THE
• Bar ShortTrac / Bar LongTrac Eclipse Gold
• Bar ShortTrac / Bar LongTrac Eclipse Gold Gaucher
In 1966, Browning launched the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle)
that was to quickly become THE market reference. In spite of severe
but often ineffective, competition, the BAR became the leading
semi-automatic rifle in Europe. In 2002, in close collaboration with
Winchester, Browning developed the WSM (Winchester Short Magnum)
calibres, combining the power and the accuracy of classic “magnum“
calibres with a smaller cartridge.
300WM / 30-06 / 270WSM
30-06 / 300WM / 9,3 x 62 / 270 WSM
In 2003, Browning launched the ShortTrac, the first semi-automatic rifle
on the market to be developed specially for WSM calibres. The smaller
dimensions of the WSM cartridges have made it possible to create a
lightweight, compact gun that guarantees “Magnum“ performance.
The ShortTrac incorporates all the experience of the BAR gained by our
Research and Development departments over a period of almost 40
years for your maximum satisfaction.

2. THE MOST RELIABLE RIFLE ON THE MARKET
40 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE
• Chromed chamber and gas cylinder, do not rust and make ammunition
extraction easier.
• Very high quality finish and assembly.
• Exclusive Browning B.O.S.S (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System)
system: Improved accuracy
The BOSSTM system allows the rifle to be quickly adjusted to the
desired load. Each barrel equipped with the BOSSTM is marked with 10
incremental markings, and a table of average settings is supplied for
each calibre.
Reduced recoil
The BOSSTM system allows the bullet to leave the barrel at the ideal
moment, i.e. in the “peak“ or the “valley“ of the vibration wave when the
muzzle is virtually motionless.
• The Browning gas-operated system is adjustable; it therefore enables
you to adapt the gun to the type of ammunition used. This operation
must be carried out by your Browning gunsmith.
• Welded gas cylinder, perfectly watertight.
• Breech damping system, reduces mechanical parts’ wear and stress.
• The regulating system’s floating mass ensures regular supply and more
reliability.
.
• An ergonomic magazine catch allowing easy access to the hinged
magazine holder and easier loading.
3. GREAT ACCURACY
• Locking occurs in the barrel by means of 7 lugs which engage in an
extremely rigid way. This gives excellent shooting accuracy and the
possibility of firing magnum cartridges.
• One piece barrel: better rigidity than bound barrels.
• Hammered barrel manufactured by the
Fabrique Nationale (National Factory) in
Herstal, a guarantee of quality.
• The barrel is breeched in the frame
which gives great rigidity.
• Reversible safety device for lefthanded users.
• Height- and side-adjustable stock
on Short & LongTrac using 5
inserts.
• Innovative design
• Recoil sensation much softer
than with bolt action rifles.
• Drop-down magazine set
• For countries where the legislation
allows it, a removable drop-down
magazine with a 6 shot capacity is available as an accessory.
• There are 3 buttplates of different sizes (1.3cm - 2 cm - 2.5cm),
which enable you to adjust the length of your gun to suit your build. The
original gun is delivered with the 2 cm intermediary butt plate.
• This red dot on the receiver acts as a gun-locking indicator for
increased reliability. You can also load your gun in silence, safe in the
knowledge that it is locked properly.

Without doubt the most versatile rifle on the market. Indeed, the
Eurobolt is unique in that it is provided with interchangeable sights. The
gun can thus be easily modified from a stalking rifle (with a rear leaf
sight) into a driven game riffle (with a quarter rib). The trigger has a
“stetcher“ (set trigger) mechanism, allowing the gun to be fired with a
very light trigger pull (hair trigger) for very accurate shots. The Bavarian
“hog’s back“ stock is always perfect, both for sighting with open sites
and with a scope. Supplied with 2 sights: rearsight + battue rib: to be
mounted according to choice.
Interchangeable Battue-type rib and rearsight.

A-Bolt Composite Stalker
Ideal for target shooting, vermin or game, the stainless stalker seduces
as much by the intrinsic qualities of its materials as by its looks. Its
composite fibreglass/graphite stock, together with its stainless steel
barrel and action make it a gun that is perfectly suited to all kinds of
weather
A-Bolt Composite Stalker
Sharing the same characteristics as the rest of the A-Bolt range, this
new Stalker version, with its composite stock, will withstand the most
severe conditions. It will also meet every expectation of both hunters
and target shooters.

A-Bolt Titantium
Everything has been studied to make this rifle a genuine featherweight :
100% Titanium casing, a breech made of composite materials, a super
light stock specifically developed by Bell and Carlson which is the result
of a combination of composite materials and fibreglass. A Pachmayr
Decelerator butt plate softens the recoil.
A-Bolt Hunter Field
A very European look for this A-Bolt Hunter Field whose essential
element is a Monte Carlo stock, with a matt finish, which gives greater
comfort when firing with a scope.
(Accessories not provided)
A-Bolt M1000 Eclipse
This version is specially designed for long-distance sports shooting.
Two major components suit it to this purpose: a heavy barrel offering
superior accuracy and a Monte Carlo stock whose ergonomic grip
ensures perfectly stable handling.

ACERA
Straight-pull action rifles
THE
ONLY BOLT ACTION RIFLE IN THE WORLD TO HAVE ITS BREECH BLOCK COMPLETELY ENCLOSED WITHIN THE RECEIVER
Acera Battue
With the Acera, reloading simply involves a straight-pull action: a straight
back-and-forth movement along the line of the gun is all that is required.
But its other major advantage is that the bolt is completely enclosed in
the receiver. This gives increased strenght and reliability and the hunter
is thus able to keep the target in his sights while reloading. Available in
calibre 270 win, 7X64, 7RM, 30.06 and 300 WM.
Comes in a black ABS carry case.

The lever-action rifle is the most traditional American rifle. Redesigned
by Browning, this myth of the wild west has become a modern, highly
effective hunting gun. The BLR is the only lever-action rifle developed
in a magnum calibre. Its mechanics are faultless and characterised by
their smoothness of operation, it has a removable magazine, it is preequipped for fitting a scope and has a top-quality barrel.
The BLR now exists in a Take Down version, i.e. you can dismantle it for
easy transport on hunting trips. No tools are required for dismantling,
which is a quick, easy operation that in no way modifies the accuracy of
your gun. By moving an slide on the front of the receiver and drawing
back the breech, the arm is separated into two parts, barrel and foreend on one side, stock and receiver on the other. Re-assembling is just
as easy.

This is the ideal model for both sporting clays and hunting. Its backbored barrel, its 10 mm rib and its ability to shoot any type of cartridge
(including steel shot) make it an incredibly efficient gun, without loss of
comfort, for hunting waterfowl and migrating birds. It has removable
butt swivel rings, its stock is made from very attractive selected
European walnut with an oil-rubbed finish.
