Reading Nick Sisley's report on the new Browning 625 Sporting Clays gun, in Sporting Clays magazine, yielded these gems of idiocy. First, tricky Nicky says "One of the main new differences with the new 625 is the introduction of Vector Pro, Brownng's new extended forcing cones. The extended forcing cones are over 2" in length, longer than on the 425 or 525. Further, the taper is much more gradual, which translates into even fewer deformed shot pellets. The Vector Pro geometry completely eliminates any step or double taper between the chamber and the bore." How could you have a longer forcing cone WITHOUT a more gradual taper??? And "steps"?, "double tapers"??? Are we talking about forcing cones or fly lines?
Next, talking about Browning's new "Diamond Grade" screw-in chokes, Nick says "Browning calls these Diamond Grade I guess because of the diamond shapes built into the extended portion of the chokes." What a coincidence! Or just MAYBE the diamond shapes were put in the extended portion of the chokes because Browning had previously decided to call them "Diamond Grade", ya think?
