Browning 018165013 CIT 725 28 Shotgun

The Browning Citori 725 28 Gauge shotgun is a premium over-and-under platform engineered for shooters who demand precision, reliability, and balanced handling in upland game hunting and sport shooting applications. Built on Browning's proven Citori design, this 28-gauge configuration serves hunters and competitive shooters seeking a lighter-recoiling alternative to 12 or 20-gauge without sacrificing effective pattern density or range. The 28-gauge cartridge delivers excellent ballistics in a compact, maneuverable package—ideal for flushing birds in tight cover or executing clean shots on clay targets downrange.

The Citori 725 features a traditional over-and-under barrel configuration with single selective trigger and automatic ejectors, delivering the fast target acquisition and reliable ignition that professional hunters and sport shooters depend on. At 9.2 lbs and 37 inches in overall length, the shotgun maintains excellent pointability while distributing recoil evenly across both shoulders, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The action geometry and trigger pull are refined for consistent shot sequences, and the 28-gauge platform generates minimal recoil impulse, allowing shooters to manage follow-up shots with precision and maintain sight picture between rounds.

The Browning Citori 725 28 Gauge is well-suited to upland hunters who work pointing breeds in quail, pheasant, and woodcock coverts, as well as competitive clay shooters entering Skeet, Trap, or Sporting Clays events where recoil management and target transition speed are paramount. This shotgun pairs effectively with standard 28-gauge ammunition loads ranging from 3/4-ounce field loads to full 1-ounce competition loads, offering versatility across different hunting seasons and target ranges. Shooters transitioning from heavier gauges will appreciate the reduced felt recoil and the opportunity to build technique without developing flinch patterns—making the 725 an excellent choice for developing shooters and experienced field hunters alike.
