Browning Citori 725 Sporting 410 30 Overview
The Citori has been the Browning flagship over and under since 1973. It is built by Miroku in Japan and is known for a strong action that stays tight for decades, which is why so many are handed down. The 725 Sporting is the clays version of the modern Citori, with longer barrels and target style handling, plus the mechanical FireLite trigger and Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones.
Barrels and Chokes
The 30 inch barrels have a polished blued finish, a 5/16 – 7/16 inch rib and a hiviz pro-comp front sight. The Standard Invector Diana choke system comes with full, improved modified, modified, improved cylinder, skeet tubes, so you can go from open chokes for close birds to tighter ones for longer shots. Chrome plated chambers resist corrosion and make cleaning easier.
Action and Trigger
The Citori locks up with a full width hinge pin and a tapered locking bolt that engages the full width of the barrel monoblock, a design that stays tight after many thousands of rounds. Hammer ejectors kick out fired hulls and lift unfired shells for easy removal. The FireLite mechanical trigger sets the second barrel mechanically, so it does not depend on recoil from the first shot.
Stock and Fit
The Grade III/IV black walnut stock has a gloss oil finish and cut 20 lpi checkering. Browning lists a 14 3/4 inch length of pull and an Inflex 2, Large recoil pad. If the fit is not quite right, a good gunsmith can adjust length of pull with spacers or a new pad.
Receiver
Silver Nitride finish covers the receiver, which carries the Browning name and Buck Mark details. The steel receiver adds weight between your hands, which helps the gun swing smoothly and soaks up recoil.
The 410 bore
The 410 bore is the smallest common shotgun gauge, light and soft shooting. It takes skill to hit with, which is why many clays shooters use it to sharpen their game, and it suits young or recoil sensitive shooters.
Clays First, Field Too
This Citori is built first for sporting clays, skeet and trap, but it also works for upland birds if you do not mind a little extra length and weight.
