Description
There is a reason you see so many 725s in the racks at sporting clays events. The Citori 725 Pro Sporting takes the proven Citori formula, the full-width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt that have run for generations, and builds it on a low-profile receiver that puts your eye closer to the bore line. The gun points where you look, swings smooth, and this 20 gauge version at 7 pounds 7 ounces carries enough weight to stay steady on long crossers without wearing you out over a 100-bird course.
What Makes the 725 Pro Sporting Different
The Pro models are where Browning stacks the competition features. The Pro Fit adjustable comb lets you tune cast and drop so your eye lines up the same way every single mount, and the Pro Balance system uses weights in the stock to shift the balance point to your preference. Add ported 32 inch barrels that tame muzzle rise, Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones, and five extended Invector-DS choke tubes (Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Skeet) that seal gases with a brass band at the base so they come out easy even after a long day of shooting. Up top, a HiViz Pro-Comp front sight and ivory mid-bead give you a clean, fast sight picture.
A Trigger Worth Talking About
The Fire Lite mechanical trigger is a highlight here. Because it does not rely on recoil inertia to reset, your second barrel is ready instantly, and the pull is light and clean. The Triple Trigger System includes three shoe options so you can fine-tune reach to your hand. An Inflex II recoil pad directs the comb down and away from your face on recoil, which matters more than you would think by station ten.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Citori 725 Pro Sporting and the standard 725 Sporting?
The Pro model adds the Pro Fit adjustable comb and the Pro Balance weight system, which lets you shift the balance point of the gun using weights in the stock. Both are big deals for competitive shooting since gun fit and balance affect your scores more than almost anything else. The standard Sporting has a fixed comb and no balance system.
Does the 2.75 inch chamber limit what I can shoot in this 20 gauge?
For its intended purpose, not at all. Virtually every sporting clays, skeet, and trap load in 20 gauge is a 2.75 inch shell, so you will have no trouble finding ammo. Just note it will not accept 3 inch magnum hunting loads, which is a fair trade for a purpose-built target gun.
Is a 32 inch barrel too long for a 20 gauge sporting gun?
Longer barrels have become the norm in sporting clays because they smooth out your swing and help you stay on line through long crossing targets. On a sub-gauge gun like this 725 Pro, the 32 inch tubes also add welcome weight up front to keep the gun from feeling whippy. If you shoot registered targets or long presentations, most folks end up preferring the longer barrel.
How does the Fire Lite mechanical trigger benefit me over an inertia trigger?
An inertia trigger needs the recoil from the first shot to set the second barrel, so a light load or a misfire can leave you with a dead trigger. The Fire Lite mechanical design resets on its own, guaranteeing your second shot is there every time. It also delivers a lighter, cleaner pull than older Citori triggers.
