Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There's a reason so many bird hunters have wished for a lighter Citori over the years, and the 725 Feather is Browning's answer. By machining the low-profile receiver from lightweight alloy instead of steel, Browning shaved about 13 ounces off the standard 725, bringing this 26 inch barreled 12 gauge in at just 6 pounds 7 ounces. That's a weight you barely notice on a long walk through pheasant cover, but here's the smart part: the breech face and full-width hinge pin are still high-grade steel, so the parts that take the pounding are built to last for generations, just like every Citori since 1973.
The 725 series sits the barrels noticeably lower in the receiver than older Citoris, which puts your hands and eye closer to the bore line. The result is a gun that points more like an extension of your body and drives recoil straight back instead of flipping the muzzle, so your second shot comes together faster. The Fire Lite mechanical trigger breaks clean at around 4 pounds and doesn't rely on recoil to set the second barrel, a real advantage with light field loads. An Inflex II recoil pad pulls the comb down and away from your face on firing, which matters on a light 12 gauge with 3 inch chambers.
This is a genuinely handsome shotgun. The silver nitride receiver wears high-relief engraving with a gold Buck Mark on the trigger guard, and the Grade II/III black walnut stock carries a gloss oil finish with cut 20 lines-per-inch checkering. Barrels are polished blue with an ivory front bead, chrome-plated chambers, and Browning's back-bored Vector Pro geometry for better patterns and less shot deformation. Three flush-fit Invector-DS choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) and a T-wrench come in the box, so you're covered from close-flushing grouse to a round of sporting clays. Built by Miroku in Japan, the way Citoris have always been done, this one earns its spot in the truck every season.
The alloy receiver saves roughly 13 ounces compared to the all-steel 725, bringing this 26 inch 12 gauge to about 6 pounds 7 ounces. The breech face and hinge pin remain steel, so the wear points keep the same durability the Citori is known for. That kind of weight savings adds up fast when you're covering miles of upland cover.
Yes, the barrels and Invector-DS choke system are rated for steel shot, so it's ready for waterfowl and other non-toxic shot situations. Just follow the standard guideline of not running steel through the Full choke; stick with Modified or more open constrictions for steel loads.
Its home turf is the uplands, but the low-profile receiver, crisp Fire Lite mechanical trigger, and back-bored barrels make it a capable performer on sporting clays and skeet too. Keep in mind that a sub-6.5 pound 12 gauge will be livelier to swing and kick a bit more than a dedicated 8 pound target gun over a long day of high-volume shooting.
Browning's Fire Lite mechanical trigger sets the second barrel mechanically rather than relying on recoil from the first shot. That means the second barrel fires reliably even with very light loads or in the rare event of a dud shell. Pulls are clean and consistent, typically breaking right around 4 pounds.
