Description
There's something about breaking your first bird of the round with a proper trap gun, and the Browning Citori 825 Trap is exactly that. This 12 gauge over and under carries the DNA of the B25 Superposed with the full-width hinge pin and tapered locking lug that have kept Citoris running for decades, all wrapped in the updated 825 platform. The low-profile receiver drops the bore line closer to your shoulder, which keeps muzzle rise tame and gets you back on the rib fast for that second clay in doubles.
Built to Point Where You Look
The 30 inch vent-rib barrels wear a high-post trap rib, and the raised Monte Carlo comb on the Grade III/IV walnut stock puts your eye right in line with it for a consistent rising point of impact, which is exactly what you want when every target is climbing away from the house. Up front, a HiViz Pro-Comp fiber-optic sight paired with an ivory mid-bead gives you a clean reference without cluttering your sight picture. The buttstock features a vertical pistol grip with palm swell and sharp checkering, and the semi-beavertail forearm with finger grooves gives your lead hand a comfortable, repeatable hold.
Citori 825 Trap Trigger and Recoil Control
Browning's Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger delivers a crisp, light pull, and the Triple Trigger System includes three interchangeable shoes so you can dial in reach and feel to match your hand. An Inflex II recoil pad soaks up the thump of a long practice day, and at roughly 8.6 pounds the gun has enough heft to swing smooth and settle recoil without feeling like a boat anchor.
Chokes and Everyday Practicality
Five extended Invector-DS choke tubes come in the box, covering Full, Light Full, Modified, and two Improved Modified, so you're set for 16-yard singles, handicap distances, and everything between. Chrome-lined 2.75 inch chambers, back-bored barrels, and lengthened forcing cones round out a package that patterns well and cleans up easy. If you shoot trap seriously, this one earns its spot in the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Browning Citori 825 Trap shoot flat or with a raised point of impact?
It's set up to shoot high, which is exactly what a trap gun should do. The raised Monte Carlo comb and high-post rib produce roughly a 70/30 pattern above the bead, so you can float rising targets over the barrel instead of covering them up. That built-in lead on climbing clays is a big part of why dedicated trap guns break more birds.
What choke tubes come with the Citori 825 Trap?
This model ships with five extended Invector-DS choke tubes: Full, Light Full, Modified, and two Improved Modified. That lineup covers everything from 16-yard singles back to the long handicap yardages. The Invector-DS system seals tighter against gas blow-by, which keeps threads cleaner over long shooting seasons.
Does this version of the Citori 825 Trap have an adjustable comb?
No, this is the fixed-comb configuration with a raised Monte Carlo profile shaped for trap work right out of the box. Browning does offer a separate adjustable comb version if you need to fine-tune cast and drop. For a lot of folks, the fixed Monte Carlo fits well as-is and there's one less thing to fiddle with.
Is the 825 Trap only good for trap, or can I shoot other clay games with it?
Trap is where it shines, since the high point of impact and 30 inch barrels are tailored for rising targets. You can certainly shoot skeet or sporting clays with it, though the elevated pattern takes some getting used to on crossing and dropping birds. If you mostly shoot trap and dabble elsewhere, it will handle the job just fine.
