The Browning Citori 725 Sporting delivers precision engineering for competitive clay shooting with its refined over/under design and extended barrel length. This 20-gauge shotgun combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create a competition-ready platform.
What Makes This Different
The 725 Sporting features Browning's low-profile silver nitride receiver that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. The 32-inch barrel configuration provides extended sight radius and smooth swing characteristics that standard 28-inch barrels cannot match. Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones and back-boring optimize shot patterns for consistent clay breaks at extended ranges.
Key Features
- 32-inch polished blued barrels with ventilated rib for heat dissipation
- Silver nitride steel receiver with low-profile design
- Grade III/IV black walnut stock with oil finish
- 3-inch chamber capability handles both 2¾" and 3" shells

The extended barrel length delivers consistent performance across sporting clays disciplines, from incoming targets to crossing shots at 40+ yards. Competition shooters benefit from the balanced weight distribution that reduces muzzle jump between shots. The mechanical trigger system provides consistent break weight and reset for rapid follow-up shots during doubles presentations.
