Browning Citori 825 Sporting 12 GA 30" Barrel Walnut Grade III/IV

Versatile new Citori 825 over and under 12 gauge shotgun tailored for sporting clays and skeet competition. Features all new styling, Fire Lite 2 Mechanical Trigger, enhanced controls, and the Invector-DS choke tube system.

For hunters, sporting clays is the perfect game to improve shooting skills and accuracy in the off season. But if you find yourself looking forward to a round of clays nearly as much as a frosty November morning on the lookout for pheasants, then you might have found yourself a new hobby and a dedicated sporting clays shotgun might just be in order. 

Enter the new Citori 825 Sporting, an over and under that will take you to the next level. From crossing clays to bounding rabbits, this shotgun has the handling, features, and durability for round after round of fun. 

Optimal stock dimensions will have you looking down the rib and focusing directly on your target. A close radius pistol grip with palm swell and adjustable Triple Trigger System aid in obtaining a consistent set-up between shots. Ventilated top and side ribs keep your barrels cool on hot days to prevent heat distortion. The 50/50 point of impact may even have you considering carrying this shotgun afield.

The new Citori 825 is the latest in the storied lineage of Browning over and under shotguns that began with John M. Browning and his legendary B25 Superposed. This new model shares a number of features with the original, the most important being the easy handling prowess that feels nothing short of intuitive. It is quick to the shoulder, natural to point, and effortless to swing.

Like the B25 and other Citori models, Citori 825 shotguns rely on the blueprint of the renowned full-width hinge and tapered locking lug design to provide maximum strength and unstoppable reliability for a shotgun that will outlast every other. All of this durability is stuffed inside a low-profile receiver that offers advantages to the shooter, as well. The reduced height of the receiver lowers the bore line of the barrels to optimize swing and pointability, while also putting the barrels more in line with the shoulder to better control felt recoil and minimize muzzle jump for more accurate second shots. The receiver is also where the changes that highlight the Citori 825 begin where new styling and engraving artwork alter both shape and appearance. Visual differences stop at the receiver, with the stock and forearm both receiving subtle new styling cues that are accentuate the aggressive new look of the Citori 825.

The popular mechanical trigger from the Citori 725 has been enhanced to offer even better performance and lighter pull weights than ever before. Dependability with extra light loads has also been improved.

Other new features added to the Citori 825 Sporting center around the interface with the shooter. The controls have been redesigned, with the shape of the safety/selector making it easier to use. The top lever is more ergonomic, easier to operate, and the styling blends with the looks of the new receiver. Even the forearm latch has been scrutinized with the larger lever making it easier to remove the forearm.

Across the board, the Inflex II recoil pad makes shooting more comfortable with the combination of a soft material and internal ribbing that forces the comb down and away from the face to reduce felt recoil. A smooth heel eliminates snagging when shouldering.
