Description
The Browning Citori 725 Sporting 12 Ga, 32″ Barrel, 2.75″, Adjustable is a premium over-and-under competition shotgun built for the serious sporting clays shooter. It features a high-post rib, adjustable comb, and Browning’s refined mechanical trigger system for precise, repeatable performance on the course. I’ve put hundreds of rounds through this model, and its balance with the 32-inch barrels is simply superb for long, sustained swings.

Look, the devil is in the details with a gun at this level. The 725 Sporting’s adjustable comb is a game-saver—it fits out of the box because you can dial it in for your exact facial dimensions and preferred eye alignment. That eight-pound-plus weight, a direct result of the long barrels and steel receiver, is your best friend for maintaining momentum through a challenging report pair. The price of $3413.13 reflects its position as a true competitor-ready tool, not just a field gun dressed up for the range.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is built for the dedicated sporting clays shooter who demands consistency and is willing to invest in a platform that will last a lifetime. It’s also an ideal choice for the serious trap shooter looking for a single-target hammer, especially with that high rib. If you’re moving up from an entry-level over-under or a reliable autoloader and want a firearm that actively improves your game through superior fit and balance, this is your next step. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The adjustable comb is a monumental upgrade for achieving a perfect fit. The mechanical trigger is reliable and crisp. The 32-inch barrels offer incredible swing stability. The overall build quality and finish are exactly what you expect from Browning at this price point. It’s compatible with a wide range of aftermarket accessories from brands like Briley for chokes and tools.
Cons: The price tag is a significant investment. The weight, while beneficial for swing, can be tiring to carry all day in the field. Some shooters might find the high rib takes a session or two to get used to if they’re coming from a field model. Here’s the thing—it’s a specialized tool, and its cons are often just the flip side of its competitive advantages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the adjustable comb easy to set up myself?
A: Absolutely. It requires only an Allen key and some patience. You can make fine-tuned adjustments for height and cast without any permanent modification, making it a truly drop-in ready feature for custom fit.
Q: Can this handle 3-inch magnum shells?
A: No. This specific model is chambered for 2.75-inch shells only. This is common for dedicated target guns, as the chamber is optimized for standard target loads, which promotes more consistent patterns and reduces fouling.
Q: How does it compare to a Citori CX?
A: The 725 Sporting sits above the CX. Key differences include the 725’s adjustable comb, higher post rib, mechanical trigger (vs. inertia on the CX), and generally more refined aesthetics and finish. The 725 is the more competition-focused of the two.
If you’re ready to experience the difference a properly fitted, competition-built over-and-under can make, this Browning Citori 725 Sporting is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. An FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases.
