Description
There's a reason the Citori name has stuck around since 1973, and the 725 Field in 20 gauge might be the best version of the idea yet. Browning took the classic Citori formula, dropped the receiver height for a lower bore axis, and kept the stuff that made these guns famous, including the full width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt that keeps lockup tight even after decades of hard use. This 26 inch barreled 20 gauge weighs in at 6 pounds 7 ounces, which is right in the sweet spot for a gun you carry a lot and shoot a little on a good grouse or quail day.
Why the Citori 725 Field Swings So Well
That low profile receiver puts your front hand closer to the bore line, and the difference shows the first time a bird flushes at a bad angle. The FireLite mechanical trigger breaks clean and light, and since it's mechanical rather than inertia driven, your second barrel is ready instantly no matter what. Browning's Triple Trigger System lets you swap between three trigger shoes to dial in your finger to trigger fit. Up front, the Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones and back-bored barrels help smooth out patterns, and the flush fit Invector-DS chokes give you three constrictions to match whatever cover you're hunting.
Looks That Match the Performance
This one earns its spot in the safe on appearance alone. The silver nitride receiver wears tasteful high relief engraving, the barrels are polished blue, and the Grade II/III black walnut stock has a gloss oil finish with cut 20 LPI checkering and a gold plated trigger. Chrome plated chambers shrug off corrosion, and the Inflex II recoil pad directs the comb down and away from your face on recoil, which keeps a light 20 gauge pleasant even with heavier loads.
Citori 725 Field 20 Gauge in the Real World
Built by Miroku in Japan, these guns have a reputation for outlasting their owners. With 3 inch chambers, an ivory bead front sight, and a 14 1/4 inch length of pull, this is a do-everything double that's just as happy breaking clays in the off season as it is chasing roosters in November.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Browning Citori 725 Field 20 gauge good for both hunting and clays?
Yes, and that's a big part of its appeal. The 26 inch barrels and 6 pound 7 ounce weight make it a fantastic carry gun for upland birds, while the mechanical trigger, vent rib, and Invector-DS chokes hold their own on skeet and sporting clays. If you want one over under to do both jobs, this is a strong pick.
What makes the 725 different from a standard Citori?
The 725 uses a noticeably lower profile receiver, which puts your hands closer to the bore line for better balance and pointability. It also adds the FireLite mechanical trigger with lighter, crisper pulls, plus the Inflex II recoil pad. Underneath it all is the same full width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt that gives Citoris their legendary lifespan.
Can I shoot steel shot through the Citori 725 Field?
Yes, Browning rates the 725 Field for steel shot performance, and the Invector-DS choke system is designed to handle steel loads. Chrome plated chambers add corrosion resistance too. As with any shotgun, follow the choke constriction guidelines in the manual when running steel.
Does this shotgun have 3 inch chambers?
It does. The 20 gauge Citori 725 Field is chambered for 3 inch shells, so you can run everything from light 2 3/4 inch target loads to full power 3 inch hunting loads. That flexibility makes it easy to match ammo to doves, pheasants, or clay targets.
