The receiver underside is marked "BROWNING Citori," and the barrels carry the "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q." marking. The gun is marked "MADE IN JAPAN," matching its Japanese manufacture.
The 26 inch, vent-ribbed steel barrels use the Invector-Plus choke system and are chambered for both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells, adding flexibility for the field. A single front bead provides a straightforward sight picture. Installed chokes are Full and Modified.

The stock is gloss-finished walnut with a pistol grip and cut checkering for a secure hold. A Browning-branded ventilated recoil pad and a 14.0 inch length of pull round out the classic field fit.
