What’s Included
- Browning Citori Grade I Field 20 Gauge over/under shotgun
The Grade I Field configuration pairs a blued receiver with factory-applied simple scroll engraving, giving it a traditional Browning look. The barrels are marked "SPECIAL STEEL 20GA - 2 3/4 AND 3 - 26" and retain the pre-Invector fixed-choke setup consistent with the era.
Functionally, it uses a single-selective trigger with a tang-mounted safety and barrel selector. Automatic ejectors clear spent shells cleanly, and the break-action over/under layout provides a two-round capacity.
Sighting is straightforward with a ventilated rib and a single front bead. The 26 inch barrels keep the package responsive while maintaining a familiar field sight picture.
The walnut stock and long field-style forend feature a gloss finish and cut checkering for a secure hold. A ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer completes the field-ready stock set. Overall finish is blued throughout.
