Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Citori name has been earning its keep since the 1970s, and the 825 Field is the newest chapter in that story. Browning kept the bones that made these guns famous, the full-width hinge pin and tapered locking lug that wear in rather than out, then wrapped them in a lower, sleeker receiver with game scene engraving on both sides and a silver nitride finish that pairs nicely with the gloss blued barrels. The Grade II/III walnut stock wears a gloss oil finish, and most examples show real figure in the wood. This is one of those guns people pick up just to look at.
The 26 inch barrel version weighs in around 7 pounds 4 ounces, and it carries lighter than the number suggests. Shorter barrels shine in thick cover and tight quarters where a flushing bird gives you about a second to mount and swing. The low bore axis puts the barrels more in line with your shoulder, so the gun points naturally and recoil comes straight back instead of flipping the muzzle. Browning set the point of impact at 50/50, which suits field work and sporting clays equally well.
The mechanical Fire Lite 2 trigger is a genuine upgrade over the older recoil-actuated Citori triggers. It breaks clean, and because it does not rely on recoil to reset, your second barrel fires even if the first shell fails. Browning also reshaped the tang safety and barrel selector, slimmed the top lever, and enlarged the forearm latch, small touches you notice the first time you handle it with cold hands.
The 3 inch chambers are chrome lined for durability, and the vent rib carries an ivory front bead with a mid bead for a clean sight picture. Three Invector-DS choke tubes come in the box, improved cylinder, modified, and full, and their double seal design keeps fouling out of the threads. From opening day pheasants to a casual round of clays, this one does both jobs without compromise.
The 825 builds on the 725 platform with a restyled low-profile receiver, reshaped controls including a slimmer top lever and improved safety/selector, an enlarged forearm latch, and the new Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger. It keeps the proven full-width hinge pin and tapered locking lug that self-adjusts for wear. Think of it as a refinement of an already excellent design rather than a reinvention.
Yes. The barrels are rated for steel shot performance and the chrome-lined chambers add corrosion resistance, which matters for waterfowl duty. The included Invector-DS chokes handle steel loads, though as with any shotgun you should avoid pushing steel through the full choke at maximum constriction with larger shot sizes.
It comes down to how you hunt. The 26 inch version is quicker to the shoulder and easier to maneuver in thick cover, making it a favorite for grouse, quail, and close-flushing pheasants. If you shoot more clays or prefer a longer sighting plane for passing shots, the 28 inch may suit you better. Both balance well thanks to the lightened receiver and barrels.
The Fire Lite 2 is a mechanical trigger, meaning the second barrel resets without needing recoil from the first shot. If you ever get a dud shell in the first barrel, you can still fire the second, which is a real advantage on a wild flush or a true pair on the clays course. It also breaks clean and crisp, something older recoil-actuated Citori triggers could not always claim.
