Description
There is a reason so many clays regulars keep coming back to the Citori 725, and this Sporting Medallion High Grade in 28 gauge might be the prettiest version of that argument. The blued steel receiver carries extensive engraving with gold accents, and the Grade IV Turkish walnut is picked for dark, rich grain that matches the deep blueing, then treated to a premium gloss oil finish. There is even a name plate inlay in the stock if you want your initials on it. This is the kind of gun people wander over to look at in the rack before you ever break a clay with it.
What Makes the Citori 725 Medallion Shoot as Good as It Looks
Underneath the fancy wood is a serious sporting gun. The 725 action sits noticeably lower than older Citori receivers, which puts your hands closer to the bore line for a flatter, more connected swing, while the full width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt keep the legendary Citori durability intact. The FireLite mechanical trigger breaks light and clean, and since it does not rely on recoil to set the second barrel, your follow up shot is always ready. The 30 inch lightweight barrels give this little 28 gauge a smooth, deliberate swing instead of the whippy feel some sub gauges have, and the HiViz Pro-Comp front sight makes target acquisition quick.
Citori 725 Sporting High Grade, From the Clays Course to the Field
With five choke tubes in the box, from Skeet all the way up to Full, you can set this gun up for skeet, sporting clays, or a fall afternoon chasing grouse and quail. A 28 gauge already treats your shoulder kindly, and the Inflex II recoil pad softens things further, so long practice days stay pleasant. Cut checkering and a right hand palm swell give the stock a comfortable, repeatable grip. Built by Miroku in Japan like every Citori, the fit and finish here lives up to the High Grade name.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Citori 725 Sporting Medallion in 28 gauge just a clays gun, or can I hunt with it?
It was built with sporting clays in mind, but it makes a fantastic upland gun too. The 28 gauge is a favorite for quail, grouse, and dove, and with five chokes included you can tighten or open the patterns to match the birds and the cover. Plenty of owners split time between the course and the field with this one.
How is the trigger on the Citori 725 Medallion different from older Citoris?
The 725 uses Browning's FireLite mechanical trigger instead of the inertia design found on earlier Citori models. It breaks lighter and crisper, and because it does not need recoil to set the second barrel, you get an immediate second shot even with light target loads. The Triple Trigger System also lets you swap between three trigger shoes and adjust the shoe position to fine tune your finger reach.
What makes this the High Grade version of the 725 Sporting?
The Medallion High Grade steps up to Grade IV Turkish walnut with a premium gloss oil finish, chosen specifically for dark grain that complements the blueing. The receiver also gets much more elaborate engraving with gold accents, plus a name plate inlay in the stock for your initials. Mechanically it shares the same proven 725 action as the standard Sporting model.
Who manufactures the Browning Citori 725?
Like every Citori since the line launched in 1973, the 725 is built by Miroku in Japan for Browning. Miroku's fit and finish is highly regarded in the over/under world, and these guns have a decades long reputation for going tens of thousands of rounds without trouble.
