Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Anyone who has lugged a traditional 12 gauge over/under through a full day of pheasant cover knows how heavy eight pounds starts to feel by mid-afternoon. Browning built the Citori 725 Feather for exactly that problem. By machining the receiver from a high-strength alloy instead of steel, they shaved roughly 13 ounces off the standard 725 Field, bringing this 28 inch barreled gun down to about 6 pounds 9 ounces. That is a difference you feel in your hands within the first mile, and it is why this gun has earned such a loyal following among upland hunters.
Browning did not cut weight where it counts. The breech face is reinforced with steel, and the full-width steel hinge pin runs clear across the receiver, so the parts that take the pounding are the same rugged components that have kept Citoris locking up tight for generations. The tapered locking bolt design self-adjusts for wear over time too. The low-profile receiver sits the barrels deeper in your hands, which gives the gun a natural pointing quality and helps drive recoil straight back instead of flipping the muzzle.
The Fire Lite mechanical trigger is one of the highlights of the whole 725 line, breaking clean at lighter pull weights than older Citori triggers, and since it is mechanical rather than inertia-driven, the second barrel fires even with a light load in the first. The 28 inch blued barrels wear a vent rib with an ivory bead up front, chambers run 3 inches, and three Invector-DS choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder cover everything from tight passing shots to close-flushing birds.
The Grade II/III walnut stock carries a gloss oil finish with sharp checkering, and the silver nitride receiver shows off tasteful high-relief engraving. An Inflex recoil pad takes the sting out of heavier loads. It is a genuine field gun first, but plenty of owners run theirs on the sporting clays course without a second thought.
The alloy receiver trims roughly 13 ounces compared to the all-steel 725 Field, putting this 28 inch barreled 12 gauge at about 6 pounds 9 ounces. The standard Field version in the same configuration runs close to 7.5 pounds. Over a long day of walking upland cover, that difference adds up fast.
Yes. Browning kept steel in the places that take the abuse, including a steel-reinforced breech face and a full-width steel hinge pin that spans the entire receiver. The tapered locking bolt also self-adjusts as it wears, so lockup stays tight over the long haul, same as any other Citori.
It runs Browning's Invector-DS choke system, and three tubes come in the box: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. The DS system uses a longer taper and a brass seal at the base to keep fouling out of the threads, and the market has a wide range of extended and specialty tubes if you want more options.
It was built as a field gun first, and carrying it all day is where it really shines. That said, the low-profile receiver, crisp Fire Lite mechanical trigger, and smooth swing make it plenty capable on a clays course. Dedicated target shooters breaking hundreds of rounds a session may prefer a heavier gun to soak up recoil, but for mixed field and clays duty it is a great fit.
