The Browning Citori 725 Pro Sporting delivers tournament-grade performance with its precision-engineered over/under action and extended 32-inch barrels. This 20-gauge shotgun combines traditional craftsmanship with modern competition features for serious sporting clays and skeet shooters.
What Makes This Different
The 725 Pro Sporting features Browning's low-profile receiver with mechanical triggers for consistent break characteristics shot after shot. Unlike standard sporting shotguns, this model includes an adjustable comb stock system that allows shooters to customize their sight picture without gunsmithing. The silver nitride finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing while maintaining the classic aesthetic.
Key Features
- 32-inch ported barrels with extended forcing cones for reduced felt recoil and improved patterns
- Adjustable comb stock system with oil-finished Grade III/IV black walnut
- Low-profile receiver with silver nitride finish and gold accents
- Mechanical triggers with single selective trigger system
- Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones and back-boring for optimal ballistics
- Invector-DS choke tube system with five tubes included
- HiViz Pro-Comp front sight with interchangeable light pipes
The extended barrel length provides superior swing dynamics and sight radius critical for consistent clay target engagement at varying distances. Competition shooters benefit from the ported barrels that reduce muzzle jump between shots, while the mechanical triggers eliminate the reliability concerns associated with inertia systems. The 20-gauge chambering offers reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge alternatives while maintaining effective range for sporting clays courses.
