The Citori 825 Sporting earned a loyal following fast, and now Browning has built it in 20 gauge. That's a big deal for anyone who loves shooting a full course of sporting clays without a 12 gauge beating them up all afternoon. This model pairs 32 inch matte blued barrels with a small-frame receiver, so you get the long, smooth sighting plane serious clays competitors want in a package that carries lighter and recoils softer. The low-profile receiver keeps the bore line down close to your shoulder, which tames muzzle jump and makes second shots on true pairs come together faster.
The Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger is the headline feature here. Because it's mechanical rather than inertia-driven, the second barrel fires reliably even with the lightest target loads, and the pull is crisper and lighter than the 725 trigger it evolved from. Browning also includes the Triple Trigger System with three trigger shoes so you can dial in reach and feel. The redesigned top lever, safety selector, and enlarged forearm latch are small touches, but you notice them every time you break the gun open. Underneath it all sits the same full-width hinge pin and tapered locking lug design that has kept Citoris locking up tight through generations of hard use.
The barrels wear a low-post floating rib with a HiViz Pro Comp front sight and ivory mid bead, set up for a 50/50 point of impact that suits sporting and skeet presentations. Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones and chrome-lined chambers round out the barrel work, and five extended Invector-DS choke tubes come in the box so you're covered from close skeet birds to long crossers. The Grade III/IV American walnut stock carries a gloss oil finish with a close radius grip and palm swell, and an Inflex II recoil pad takes the sting out of what little recoil a 20 gauge produces. It's a genuinely handsome gun that's built to be shot hard, not just admired.
It ships with five extended Invector-DS choke tubes, which covers you from tight skeet stations out to long sporting crossers without buying anything extra. The Invector-DS system uses a rear gas seal that keeps fouling out of the threads, so tubes stay easy to swap even after heavy use. Aftermarket Invector-DS tubes in 20 gauge are widely available if you want more options later.
Not at all, and it's a big part of why this configuration exists. The longer barrels give you a stretched sighting plane and a steadier, more deliberate swing on crossing targets, while the smaller 20 gauge frame keeps overall weight manageable. Plenty of competitive clays folks prefer 32 inch tubes on sub-gauge guns for exactly this balance.
Yes, that's one of the strengths of the Fire Lite 2 trigger. Since it's mechanical instead of inertia-based, the second barrel doesn't depend on recoil from the first shot to reset, so soft-shooting target loads cycle both barrels without a hiccup. Browning also refined it beyond the 725 trigger for lighter pull weights.
It can. The 3 inch chambers, chrome-lined bores, and Invector-DS choke flexibility make it perfectly capable in the dove field or on upland birds. That said, the 32 inch barrels and sporting stock dimensions are really optimized for the clays course, so if hunting is your main use, a shorter-barreled field model might carry easier on long walks.
