The Browning Citori Hunter 12 gauge combines proven over-under reliability with elegant field-ready aesthetics for upland hunting and sporting clays. This 26-inch barreled shotgun features traditional blued steel construction with gold enhancement accents that distinguish it from standard hunting models.
What Makes This Different
The Citori Hunter incorporates Browning's time-tested low-profile receiver design that sits closer to the hand for improved balance and faster target acquisition. Gold enhancement details on the receiver provide subtle visual appeal without the flashiness of full engraving. The satin finish American black walnut stock resists weather better than high-gloss alternatives while maintaining the classic appearance serious hunters prefer.

Field performance centers on the balanced 26-inch barrel length that provides sufficient swing weight for crossing shots while remaining maneuverable in thick cover. The 3-inch chamber handles everything from 2.75-inch target loads to full-power waterfowl shells. Invector-Plus choke tubes allow hunters to optimize patterns for specific game and conditions, from cylinder bore for close woodcock work to full choke for long pheasant shots.
