The Black Gold treatment gives this Citori 725 a distinctive look with factory engraving that includes gold-inlaid oil derricks and pump jacks, 'Black Gold' script on the receiver, and a gold Browning Buckmark on the trigger guard. The satin silver receiver contrasts cleanly with the polished blued barrels and black scrollwork for a classic presentation.
The 30 in steel barrels feature a ventilated top rib and vented side ribs for balance and heat dissipation, paired with a green fiber-optic front bead for a crisp sight picture.
