Browning 018163305 Citori Feather 12 Gauge 3" 2-Round Over/Under Shotgun

The Browning Citori Feather 12 Gauge 3" 2-Round Over/Under Shotgun (SKU 107961) represents a purpose-built platform for hunters and sport shooters who demand reliable performance without unnecessary weight. Over/under shotguns have long been the standard for upland game and clay target competition due to their inherent balance, quick target acquisition, and intuitive handling characteristics. The Citori Feather line specifically addresses the fatigue factor in all-day hunting scenarios by optimizing weight distribution while maintaining the structural integrity required for 3-inch magnum loads.

Built on Browning's proven Citori platform, this over/under delivers the inherent advantages of dual-barrel configuration: independent aiming planes, reduced felt recoil through distributed impact, and single-trigger mechanical advantages that enhance shot control between first and second rounds. The 12-gauge chambering in 3-inch specification provides sufficient velocity and payload for both field applications and competitive clay courses. At 12.45 pounds, the Feather variant uses modern materials and refined metallurgy to achieve this weight while the 41-inch overall length ensures adequate sight radius and swing characteristics for moving targets. The 2-round capacity—one per barrel—reflects the over/under design and aligns with regulatory requirements across most jurisdictions.

Law enforcement trainers and rural professionals appreciate over/under shotguns for low-light performance and mechanical simplicity—no battery-dependent systems, minimal moving parts, and rapid manual operation. Hunters pursuing upland birds, waterfowl, and medium game benefit from the Feather's reduced fatigue factor during extended field days. Sport shooters competing in trap, skeet, and FITASC disciplines rely on the refined trigger break and balanced ergonomics that Browning engineered into this platform.
