Description
There are trap guns, and then there is the gun Browning built to sit at the top of the whole 825 lineup. The Citori 825 Trap Max is the fully loaded version, and the name fits. Just about everything on this 12 gauge can be tuned to you. The high-post rib adjusts point of impact anywhere from a 50/50 pattern to 90/10, the Graco Monte Carlo comb dials in drop and cast for perfect bead alignment, and the GraCoil system in the buttstock handles both length of pull and felt recoil reduction. Even the butt plate adjusts for angle and position. Once it fits, it fits, and that consistency is what breaks hundred straights.
Why the Citori 825 Trap Max Earns Its Spot on the Line
The 32 inch back-bored barrels carry Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones, chrome-lined 2.75 inch chambers, and Browning's Invector-DS extended choke system, with five tubes included so you can pattern for 16 yard singles or the back fence in handicap. Up top, a HiViz Pro-Comp fiber optic front and ivory mid-bead give you a clean, repeatable sight picture. The Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger is a real upgrade over earlier Citori triggers, with lighter pull weights and reliable ignition even with soft practice loads, plus adjustable trigger position and shoe style.
Built on the Citori 825 Platform, Dressed for Competition
Underneath all the adjustability is the same low-profile receiver architecture that traces back to John Browning's B25 Superposed, with a full-width hinge pin and a tapered locking lug that self-adjusts for wear over tens of thousands of rounds. That matters on a gun that will see serious volume. The Grade V/VI walnut wears a gloss oil finish, and the deep relief scroll engraving with gold accents makes it look every bit like the flagship it is. A vertical grip with palm swell and a beavertail forearm with finger grooves keep your hands anchored the same way, shot after shot. This is a turnkey competition gun that leaves nothing on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can you adjust on the Browning Citori 825 Trap Max?
Just about everything that matters for gun fit. The high-post rib adjusts point of impact from 50/50 up to 90/10, the Graco Monte Carlo comb handles drop and cast, and the GraCoil system lets you fine tune length of pull and felt recoil. The butt plate adjusts for angle and position, and the trigger adjusts for position as well, so you can build a fit that stays consistent from station to station.
How is the 825 Trap Max different from the standard Citori 825 Trap?
The Trap Max is the top of the 825 trap line. It steps up to Grade V/VI walnut, adds the GraCoil recoil reduction system with length of pull adjustment, an adjustable butt pad plate, and the POI-adjustable high-post rib. The standard 825 Trap models use Grade III/IV wood and a fixed rib, so the Max is the pick if you want full adjustability without aftermarket work.
Does the Citori 825 Trap Max come with choke tubes?
Yes, it ships with five extended Invector-DS choke tubes: Full, Light Full, Modified, and two Improved Modified. That covers everything from 16 yard singles to long handicap yardage and doubles, where the pair of Improved Modified tubes comes in handy. The Invector-DS system seals gases off the tube threads, which keeps the chokes cleaner and easier to swap.
Is the Fire Lite 2 trigger really an improvement over older Citori triggers?
It is. Browning refined the mechanical trigger from the 725 series to deliver lighter, crisper pull weights, and since it is mechanical rather than inertia driven, the second barrel fires reliably even with very light target loads. For a trap gun that will digest a high volume of practice ammo, that dependability is a genuine advantage.
