Browning Citori Grade I Skeet 20 Ga Over/Under Shotgun – 28" Ported Barrels, 1994 Miroku Production
Built by Miroku in 1994, this Browning Citori Grade I Skeet offers the handling qualities skeet shooters prize, paired with the durability Browning over/unders are known for. Factory-ported 28-inch barrels, early-generation Invector-Plus choke system, and a ventilated rib capped with a red fiber-optic bead give this 20-gauge a target-focused setup straight from the factory. Scroll engraving on the gloss-blued steel receiver, a gold-plated single-selective trigger, and gloss-finished walnut furniture round out a shotgun that balances field elegance with competition utility.

Produced in Japan and marked with the appropriate proof stamps, this Citori carries the 1C3 serial suffix that denotes the Grade I Skeet configuration. Matching serial numbers appear on the receiver, barrels, and fore-end, confirming factory integrity.
The 28-inch barrels wear a gloss blued finish and leave the factory with porting to reduce muzzle rise. A ventilated top rib promotes fast heat dissipation and leads the eye naturally to the bright red fiber-optic front bead.
Browning’s early Invector-Plus system gives shooters an interchangeable choke platform ready for pattern tuning. The 2 ¾-inch chambers suit traditional skeet loads, while the gold-plated, single-selective, inertia trigger allows instant barrel choice without breaking rhythm.
The stock is cut from nicely figured walnut, finished in high-gloss, and shaped with a Monte Carlo comb, pistol grip, and Schnabel fore-end. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches, providing a comfortable fit for most adult shooters.
Shooters will also appreciate the tang-mounted safety/selector, steel receiver construction, and scroll engraving that adds classic Browning character without excess ornamentation.
