Experience Time-Honored Browning Performance with the Citori 825 Shotgun.
Few other shotguns in history can boast of a reputation like that of a Browning Superposed. Designed by John M. Browning himself. This shotgun was the first commercially successful double barrel that featured the barrels stacked one on the other. This innovative creation displayed all of the elements that were typical of The Master’s style: Sleek lines, handling best described as intuitive, and a mechanism that is beautifully elegant, yet supremely robust and built to last generations. The new Citori 825 shares many design features of the Superposed and its namesake, the Citori, and is ready to build upon the reputation that has been earned in fields, marshes, and ranges for more than 100 years.
Like its predecessor, the Citori 725, the new Citori features a low-profile receiver that puts your eye closer to the axis of the barrels for excellent hand/eye coordination and improved recoil control for more accurate follow-up shots. This compact design also results in a shotgun that has a lighter feel, faster swing, and promotes a smoother follow through.
The Citori 825 also benefits from an action that has been perfected by generations of Browning over and unders — beginning with the Superposed. This lightweight, low-profile receiver utilizes the same ultra-tough, full-width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt design that “wears in, not out.” The new Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger enhances reliability and provides a light pull, crisp break, and reduced overtravel for performance that is uncharacteristic of most shotguns.
Style is a Browning trademark that is never overlooked and is on full display in the new Citori 825. The receiver features sharper lines that elevate the appearance to match the performance. Expertly applied finishes beautify the finely grained and checkered stocks sculpted to match the shape of the restyled receiver. A Browning trademark has always been the high level of hand finishing goes into every firearm, and this craftsmanship results in exquisite looks and a level of fit and finish that produces a shotgun you'll be proud to call your own.

Features of the Citori 825.
LOW PROFILE RECEIVER
A low profile receiver improves recoil control, reduces muzzle jump and places the front hand closer to the bore line for superior hand-eye coordination and pointability. These factors contribute to the nimble handling of the Citori 825.
FULL-WIDTH HINGE PIN
The monoblock hinges on a strong full-width hinge pin that is significantly stronger and more durable than trunnion designs.
TAPERED LOCKING BOLT
A transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt fits into the monoblock recess and self-adjusts for wear to keep the action locked-up tight.
FIRE LITE 2 TRIGGER
This mechanical trigger offers immediate second shot capability without using recoil to set the next shot. Trigger performance has been enhanced when using extra light loads. A light pull, reduced take-up, a crisp break, and less overtravel improve accuracy.
STEEL RECEIVER
The receiver is machined from steel and features an extremely durable silver nitride finish that offers improved wear resistance, increased fatigue strength, and added protection against corrosion. Read more...
ERGO BALANCE
Incredible balance in the hands facilitates a light feel, fast swing and promotes a smoother follow through.
PRECISION BARRELS
Browning shotgun barrels are noted for their quality construction that emphasizes extreme durability with features that optimize shot pattern performance.
INVECTOR-DS CHOKE TUBE SYSTEM
The Invector-DS Interchangeable Choke Tube System is featured on the Citori 825. This system uses threading at the end of the muzzle for a sleeker barrel appearance. A gas seal keeps powder fouling from working between the barrel and the tube for easy tube removal. Read more...
CHROME CHAMBERS
Citori 825 shotguns feature chrome chambers for increased durability, corrosion resistance, and easier cleaning.
FLOATING RIB
A floating rib prevents point of impact shifts caused by barrel heating as it allows the rib and barrel to expand independently.
POINT OF IMPACT
Citori 825 shotguns have different point of impact (POI) specifications depending on the intended use. A flat 50/50 POI is preferred when a target presentation can come from any direction, like a target soaring in from overhead on a sporting clays course or a pheasant erupting from the brush. The versatile 60/40 POI is great for all clay target sports and hunting as it allows the shooter to float the target slightly to improve the sight picture. Shotguns with a 70/30 POI are more suited to trap, where the higher POI allows a rising target to be visible when the trigger is pulled.
INFLEX II RECOIL PAD
The Inflex II recoil pad uses directional deflection to send the comb down and away from the face, reducing felt recoil for greater shooting comfort and allowing faster, more accurate follow-up shots. Read More...
SAFETY/BARREL SELECTOR
The safety/barrel selector has been redesigned for easier manipulation and matches the styling cues of the Citori 825. It is located within easy reach on the top tang. The safety and barrel selector switch is intuitive to operate and allows you to select which barrel fires first.
FOREARM LATCH
The redesigned forearm lever is larger, making operating the lever easier.
TRIPLE TRIGGER SYSTEM
Featured on target models, the adjustable Triple Trigger System lets the shooter set the trigger shoe in one of three positions to fine-tune finger-to-trigger reach. Three interchangeable trigger shoes are included.
ADJUSTABLE COMB
Certain models feature an adjustable comb to customize stock dimensions such as cast and drop. An adjustable comb will help you achieve a perfect fit to your shotgun and a repeatable mount that instinctively puts your eye consistently in alignment with the sights.
PRO BALANCE SYSTEM
Citori 825 Pro models include the Pro Balance System that allows the shooter to add or remove weights from the stock and fine-tune the balance point for a perfect mount and swing.
PRO-FIT ADJUSTABLE COMB
Citori 825 Pro models include the Pro-Fit Adjustable Comb to customize stock dimensions such as cast and drop. An adjustable comb will help you achieve a perfect fit to your shotgun and a repeatable mount that instinctively puts your eye consistently in alignment with the sights.
HIGH-POST RIB
A high-rib is common on target shotguns when clay targets come from below the shotgun's sight plane. Having the rib higher above the top barrel allows the shooter to see targets earlier. The high rib also allows the shooter to shoot from a more comfortable, upright stance.
The Browning Difference.
Whether you're on the range cruising to victory or swinging onto a covey of quail, the shot pattern your gun produces is vital. Citori 825 shotguns feature Total Barrel Dynamics – the combination of lengthened Vector Pro forcing cones, Back-Bored Technology, and the Invector-DS interchangeable choke tube system – working in unison to optimize shot pattern performance. Each component of Total Barrel Dynamics plays a part to reduce shot deformation, improve pattern density, and put more pellets on the target.
VECTOR PRO FORCING CONE
The forcing cone is the tapered transition between the chamber and the bore that constricts the shot column. Vector Pro is superior because it has a gradual taper. The Vector Pro forcing cone reduces stress on the shot column as it moves into the bore to reduce pellet deformation for more uniform patterns and more pellets in the center of the pattern.

BACK-BORED TECHNOLOGY
Optimal bore diameter specifications maximize shot velocity and shot pattern performance. Read More...
INVECTOR-DS
“DS” stands for double-seal, our proprietary differential-banded brass seal. It compresses against the barrel wall to keep the choke tube threads clean, making installation and removal easier than any other muzzle thread system. Read More...
