- Browning Citori 725 Sporting 12-gauge over/under shotgun with 30" ported barrels
- Installed Invector-DS extended choke tubes: Modified (MOD) and Improved Cylinder (IC)
The Sporting configuration centers on 30-inch ported steel barrels with a ventilated floating rib, 2 3/4" and 3" chambers, and the Invector-DS extended choke system. This example is set up with MOD and IC tubes installed, providing versatile patterns for clay target disciplines.
Browning’s Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones and back-bored bores (nominal .742") are designed to deliver consistent patterns and smooth shot transitions. The low-profile 725 action contributes to a balanced feel and direct sighting plane over the rib.
Sighting is fast and clear thanks to the HiViz green fiber-optic front bead paired with a mid-bead. The stock set is walnut with a gloss oil finish and sharp checkering, matched to a beavertail forend and an Inflex II recoil pad.
The Fire Lite mechanical single-selective trigger uses Browning’s adjustable Triple Trigger System to tailor reach and preference. Ejectors are timed, and the shotgun carries a 2-round capacity typical of an over/under sporting gun.
The steel receiver wears a durable silver nitride finish with factory engraving, including a gold Browning Buckmark on the receiver and trigger guard, "725" on the flank, and "BROWNING 725 SPORTING" on the belly. Markings note "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH — MADE IN JAPAN / MIROKU" and "CITORI SPECIAL STEEL 12 GA 2 3/4" AND 3"." The observed "ZW" date code corresponds to 2014 production in Japan.
