Sporting clays shooters looking to level up and make serious improvements to their game have come to the right place. The new Citori 825 Pro Sporting has the features, handling, and durability help you find your way to the top step of the podium.
The Citori 825 Pro Sporting offers "Pro" level adjustment with the Pro Balance System – a set of adjustable weights in the stock that allows shooters to customize the balance of their gun to change swing dynamics and reduce felt recoil. The Pro Fit Adjustable Comb provides even more customization, using simple one bolt adjustment to personalize both cast and drop measurements to have you looking straight down the wide rib.
The differences don't end there, either. The reshaped new receiver features a beautiful new traditional scroll engraving pattern that has been hand retouched to add amazing depth and dimension. Grade III/IV walnut is exquisitely finishes in a gloss oil finish and features an adjustable comb to customize your view down the rib. The comb uses simple one bolt adjustment to personalize both cast and drop measurements. A close radius pistol grip with palm swell and adjustable Triple Trigger System aid in obtaining a consistent set-up between shots.
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 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 Pro Sporting 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.
