Browning

Nothing says upland hunting better than an open field, a loyal dog, a well-worn vest, and a fine over and under shotgun emblazoned with the name Browning. From the pheasant fields to the sporting clays range, the Citori 825 Field is a game changer. This new shotgun deftly straddles the line between tradition and technology, with looks and features that enhance performance and maintain tradition.

The Field has a low-profile receiver that is natural to point and swings with fluid ease through your target, equally perfect for those experiences when a bird explodes at your feet in flurry of wing beats or crosses your path from an adjacent field. 

The new Citori 825 is the latest in the storied lineage of Browning over and under shotguns that began with John M. Browning and his legendary B25 Superposed. This new model shares a number of features with the original, the most important being the easy handling prowess that feels nothing short of intuitive. It is quick to the shoulder, natural to point, and effortless to swing.

Like the B25 and other Citori models, Citori 825 shotguns rely on the blueprint of the renowned full-width hinge pin and tapered locking lug design to provide maximum strength and unstoppable reliability for a shotgun that will outlast every other. All of this durability is stuffed inside a low-profile receiver that offers advantages to the shooter, as well. The reduced height of the receiver lowers the bore line of the barrels to optimize swing and pointability, while also putting the barrels more in line with the shoulder to better control felt recoil and minimize muzzle jump for more accurate second shots. The receiver is also where the changes that highlight the Citori 825 begin where new styling and engraving artwork alter both shape and appearance. Visual differences stop at the receiver, with the stock and forearm both receiving subtle new styling cues that are accentuate the aggressive new look of the Citori 825.

The popular mechanical trigger from the Citori 725 has been enhanced to offer even better performance and lighter pull weights than ever before. Dependability with extra light loads has also been improved.

Other new features added to the Citori 825 center around the interface with the shooter. The controls have been redesigned, with the shape of the safety/selector making it easier to use. The top lever is more ergonomic, easier to operate, and the styling blends with the looks of the new receiver. Even the forearm latch has been scrutinized with the larger lever making it easier to remove the forearm.

Across the board, the Inflex II recoil pad makes shooting more comfortable with the combination of a soft material and internal ribbing that forces the comb down and away from the face to reduce felt recoil. A smooth heel eliminates snagging when shouldering.
