Browning Citori 725 Sporting .410 Bore 30in Over Under Shotgun

Description

Running .410 events with a gun built on a true small frame receiver is a completely different experience than swinging a 12 gauge frame with skinny barrels hung on it, and that's exactly what separates this Citori 725 Sporting from a lot of sub gauge guns. Browning scales the receiver down to the bore, which trims weight into the mid seven pound range and keeps the balance right between your hands. Pair that with the 725's signature low profile design, which puts your eye closer to the bore line, and you get a gun that points naturally and follows through smooth instead of feeling barrel heavy or whippy.

What Makes the 725 Sporting .410 Worth It

The FireLite mechanical trigger is a big part of the story here. It breaks light and crisp with minimal take up and overtravel, and because it's mechanical rather than inertia driven, the second barrel is ready instantly, no recoil required, which matters with soft shooting .410 loads. The 30 inch ported barrels tame what little muzzle rise there is, and the ventilated top and side ribs shed heat on long practice days. A HiViz Pro-Comp front sight with an ivory mid bead gives you a clean, fast sight picture, and the chrome plated 3 inch chambers add durability round after round. Underneath it all is the same full width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt that has kept Citori actions tight through generations of hard use.

Looks That Match the Performance

This one wears the classic bi-tone treatment: a silver nitride receiver with gold accented engraving over polished blued barrels, with Grade III/IV walnut in a gloss oil finish. The close radius pistol grip and rounded 725 style forearm with 20 LPI cut checkering feel great in hand, and the Inflex II recoil pad mounts to the shoulder cleanly. Five extended choke tubes come in the box along with a T-wrench, so you're covered from tight skeet presentations to long crossers right out of the gate. Whether you're chasing a perfect skeet round or just love the challenge of the little bore, this is the kind of gun that earns a permanent spot in the safe.
