Why You Need A High Rib Shotgun! 

This video was just the same as every other video. You didn’t answer your own question on ‘why you need a high rib shotgun’ nor did you even explain what a high rib does. I came away from this not knowing why I should consider one.

David, I'm not sure why you guys in the UK always get the best in Shotguns. Browning needs to send some of those to the USA.

Just traded mine into Connolly's Red Mills in Kilkenny Ireland yesterday, absolutely mint , i only shot it for 6mts from new, in new condition. I high rib just wasn't for me but it was an absolutely beautifully handling gun that looks fantastic... and now you go and put up this review and break my heart ...oh boy....great review but you cant keep them all i suppose.

Can you do a comparison video of Standard vs Mid vs High rib for us newbies. What's the pros/cons of each when shooting sporting clays?

725 Trap (high rib, of course) owner here, and I’ll take a fixed high rib over an adjustable. I’ve owned adjustable rib guns (Browning and others) and it just doesn’t feel sturdy to me. I’m careful about how I pick my guns up and find myself having to ‘manoeuvre around’ the adjustable rib, when holding and shouldering the gun. And, no matter how it’s adjusted/tightened, the adjustable rib always makes the gun sound like it’s rattling when closing the action.

I have also a browning b725 pro master. And i love to shoot with it. Everything On the gun is correct and perfect balance.

I have had a Pro Master for about a year and it is a pleasure to shoot, I use it for Sporting and it handles everything very well it is setup with half choke in both barrels and just a raised comb and a second choke from my Pro Sport.

I have a 725 and love it. 32" 20 bore

It looks a nice piece of kit I used to have a Lincoln over in London Monte Carlo stock and high rib only trouble it’ I had two triggers

I have a high rib 682 (X-Trap) and love it.

just ordered one of these based on your review, Brian from Canada. BTW the gun that I ordered was a 30inch Pro-Trap edition with the GRACO premounted, 2019 Shot Show Special

Loving my B725 pro master. Not shot a high rib before but after a few sessions and adjustments it is such a pleasure to shoot with. Best purchase in a long time 👍🏼

Hi David. Please explain what the advantages are of a higher rib. For example, allows you to see the clay better as it rises in Trap. But what about for sporting? Why better than low rib? Why worse than low rib? Etc. Related, what makes this gun a hybrid between sporting and trap? Non-adjustable butt?

Hello TSC, David it is a awesome looking gun but well out of my price range.

One of the biggest advantages of the adjustable rib is changing the POI. I’m considering buying one to shoot sporting, skeet AND trap, so being able to a just the POI is essential

Not a fan of high rib guns, as they don't shoot my shooting style, david mounts the guns very very low in shoulder so he needs a high stock/rib, which is something that needs to be focused on- he always says x gun is low in comb, when it's more how he mounts the gun

* It's nice to have the ability to make adjustments to one's firearm, it's cheaper than having a custom stock made to fit only you. Concerning the advantage of a high rib, and what it offers the shooter is interesting. Most shooters these days like a high comb, they shoot their shotguns like one would shoot a rifle, they really lock into the stock. Slapping a higher rib on a shooter's gun will raise his head so he can still obtain his normal sight picture. A raised rib actually lowers the comb. Now , the shooter has to raise the comb to gain back his original sight picture. The advantage of a higher comb is that the shooter can see the target a little better in reference to the end of the barrel. While it's true that a shooter should only concentrate on the target, the image that a shooter sees will most likely include part of the end of the barrel (particularly if your eye is positioned over the rib). When shooting, the shooter doesn't notice the end of their gun's barrel, but this will become apparent when they switch guns, especially, if they go from shooting, let's say a 12 ga. to a .410, the .410 will appear to require a little more lead than the 12ga., when in fact the leads are the same. This is because the peripheral vision notes the difference in size between the 12ga. barrel vs. the barrel of the .410. The shooter's sight picture looks different. A lot of shooters have trouble adjusting to the small diameter of the .410 until they have shot enough .410's to obtain the correct sight picture. A high rib can cause some of the same effect, but it's much easier to adjust, if you can still see the end of the barrel. I shoot with only one eye, so my sight picture is more limited. The most important aspect is does the stock fit the shooter, and does the shooter use the correct eye when he shoots? I believe a shooter that shoots guns that gives him the same sight picture is a head of the game. Consistency matters, but shooting the .410 sure is fun.

Hola .tengo la PRO-TRAP HIGH RIB para mí es una maravilla viaja sola el plomeo es fantástico la madera impresionante realmente un producto excelente!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!!!

Looks a nice gun but for me i would need 28" barrels , Great Review Thanks

The video is titled, "Why You Need A High Rib Shotgun" yet that is never explained.

Muy excelentes lances de cazerias

a comparison between the browning pro master and the Beretta 694 acs would be interesting.

Love this gun. Please do more reviews of high rib O/U. I really like high rib sporters and would enjoy learning more about them. I’m considering a Browning 725 high rib. It’s fixed , not adjustable like this one in the video but I can’t seem to find much on RU-vid about that gun.

I'd be interested to hear why you cant the gun so much, particularly on the left to right clays?

So...the title of the video is..."why you need a high rib gun" but that question is not addressed at all !!!

I disagree, the stock and barrel weights are to adjust the balance to your own personal taste. Some like it forward some rearward. It depends on your shooting style. My own preference is for weight up front to slow gun movement down. Works for me. Others like a stock heavy gun, works fir them. That's why there are additional balance weights.

Yet another gun I “must have in my cabinet”

Does it come in a left hand? I've been waiting on a A5 in left hand for years

Those shells have quite some snap.

please tell us what choke you use?

What do think about the 725 parallel?

How does this compare to the 694 ACS?

How is the B725 High rib sporter vs the high rib trap?

Or a Beretta ACS.

No entiendo nada de lo que dice .pero si algo de escopetas,y a mi modesto modo de ver esta es la MEJOR ESCOPETA QUE VI .LO TIENE TODO.el afortunado que pueda adquirir una Máquina de estas ,porque es una verdadera máquina de tirar,la va a usar toda su vida y SIN PROBLEMAS DE NINGUNA INDOLEy lo mejor es el precio que no es para nada Oneroso.debe de andar entre los 6000 a 10.000 dólares.❤😂😂

How can I get a Browning Pro Master in the USA?

Do I need a high rib for sporting

Want one :) time to part ex the pro-sport

Balance

How do you shoot the second barrel so fast? Do you have double triggers or do you quickly switch to the bottom barrel?

I notice you don't move your head at tall amazing to watch

Price

Advice question… left eye dominant. Normally shoot RH. Trying to find a LH O/U. Should I just shoot RH?

Its actually a semi high rib......look at the pro trap.

this video does NOT explain why you need a high rib and doesn't go into what high rib does...

🇪🇨🇪🇨👍

How do you clean under the shotgun rib? I cannot remove mine.
