Overview
The Browning Citori 725 Sporting is engineered for competitive and experienced shooters demanding precision and consistent performance from an over/under platform. Its design integrates ergonomic considerations with advanced barrel and recoil management systems, positioning the shooter’s eye closer to the barrel axis for intuitive target acquisition. This configuration aims to optimize pointability and ensure consistent pattern delivery.
Key Features
Performance Engineering
The Citori 725 leverages Browning’s Total Barrel Dynamics, a system designed to optimize bore geometry and forcing cone length for enhanced pattern uniformity and reduced felt recoil. Integrated Inflex II technology further mitigates recoil, improving shooter comfort and enabling faster follow-up shots. The low-profile receiver design contributes to the firearm’s balanced feel and natural pointability, allowing for fluid target transitions. This engineering approach positions the shooter’s eye closer to the axis of the barrels, facilitating instinctive target acquisition.
Locking Mechanism & Reliability
A robust locking mechanism features a tapered locking bolt that precisely engages a full-width tapered recess in the rear barrel lugs. This design ensures secure lock-up and long-term durability under demanding use. The hinge pin extends the full width of the receiver, providing maximum structural integrity and consistent barrel-to-receiver fit.
Ergonomics & Adjustability
The Triple Trigger System offers crucial adjustability, allowing the shooter to fine-tune the finger-to-trigger length of pull for a personalized fit. The fixed Grade III/IV Black Walnut stock features detailed checkering for a secure grip and is finished with a durable gloss oil, enhancing both aesthetics and weather resistance.
Barrel & Choke System
Equipped with a 32-inch polished blued over/under vent rib barrel, this shotgun provides a clear sight picture and aids in heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. The Invector-DS choke system ensures consistent, reliable tightening and pattern density adjustment. The package includes a comprehensive set of Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Skeet choke tubes, along with a dedicated wrench, allowing for immediate adaptation to various shooting disciplines and target presentations.
