The 30 inch barrels are steel with a ventilated flat top rib and ventilated side ribs, delivering a classic Sporting sight picture and good barrel cooling. The barrels are blued and roll-marked on the left side with the inscription "CITORI SPECIAL STEEL 12GA - 2 3/4 and 3," reflecting its 2 3/4 in and 3 in chambering. Automatic ejectors are present and correctly timed.
The receiver is steel with a satin silver finish and marked "825 CITORI," with the belly marked "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY 825 SPORTING." The action is the proven Browning/Miroku over/under design with a tight lockup and plenty of life remaining in the locking surfaces. A tang safety with barrel selector and a single-selective, mechanical, gold-colored trigger provide straightforward control, and interchangeable trigger shoes are included.
