Browning Citori 825 Field 20 Gauge 3in Silver Nitride Over Under Shotgun – 26in – Walnut

Browning Citori 825 Field 20 Gauge 3in Silver Nitride Over Under Shotgun – 26in – Nothing embodies upland hunting quite like an open field, a trusted bird dog, a weathered vest, and a finely crafted over-and-under shotgun bearing the Browning name. Whether you’re working a pheasant field or stepping onto the sporting clays course, the small-gauge Citori 825 Field delivers a compelling blend of tradition and innovation. Lighter, sleeker, and packed with performance-enhancing features, it is built to excel wherever wings rise and targets fly. At the heart of the Field model is a low-profile receiver that points naturally and swings effortlessly through the target. Its balanced handling shines in every scenarioâ from a rooster pheasant erupting at your feet in a thunder of wingbeats to a crossing bird appearing unexpectedly from a neighboring field. The Citori 825 continues Browning’s storied over-and-under legacy, a lineage that began with John M. Browning’s legendary B25 Superposed. While thoroughly modern, the new model retains the intuitive handling characteristics that made its predecessors famous. It mounts quickly, points instinctively, and swings with remarkable fluidity, giving shooters the confidence to react without hesitation. Like the B25 and generations of Citori shotguns before it, the Citori 825 is built around Browning’s proven full-width hinge pin and tapered locking lug design. This time-tested system delivers exceptional strength and unwavering reliability, creating a shotgun engineered to withstand a lifetime of hard use. All of that durability is housed within the receiver’s streamlined profile, which offers significant performance advantages. By lowering the bore line, the receiver improves pointability and swing dynamics while aligning the barrels more closely with the shooter’s shoulder to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. The result is faster target reacquisition and more accurate follow-up shots. The receiver also showcases the most visible updates to the Citori 825, featuring new styling elements and engraving patterns that create a more contemporary appearance. Complementing these changes are subtle refinements to the stock and forearm that enhance the shotgun’s bold, purposeful aesthetic. The popular mechanical trigger system introduced on the Citori 725 has been further refined for the Citori 825. The result is a lighter, crisper trigger pull and improved consistency, while reliability with lighter target loads has been enhanced as well. Additional updates focus on the shooter’s interaction with the firearm. The redesigned safety and barrel selector are more intuitive and easier to operate, while the reshaped top lever offers improved ergonomics and seamlessly complements the receiver’s updated styling. Even the forearm latch has been reengineered, featuring a larger lever that simplifies forearm removal and installation. Comfort has also been elevated across the entire Citori 825 lineup. The Inflex II recoil pad combines a soft exterior with internal directional ribbing that directs the comb downward and away from the shooter’s face during recoil, reducing perceived kick and improving shooting comfort. A smooth heel further enhances handling by eliminating snags when mounting the shotgun, ensuring a clean, uninterrupted shoulder mount every time.
