Description
The Browning Citori 725 Gr7 20/32 2.75 Adj is a high-grade, adjustable over-and-under shotgun chambered in 20-gauge with 2.75″ shells, featuring a 32-inch barrel set and Browning’s responsive, reliable 725 action. It’s built for the serious clay shooter or upland hunter who demands a custom fit and top-tier performance straight from the factory.
I’ve put a few flats of shells through this platform, and the 725 action is where you feel the difference. It’s faster, smoother, and locks up tighter than older designs—it just feels more responsive. The adjustable comb is the real story here, though. Being able to dial in your exact eye alignment without a trip to the gunsmith is a massive advantage. This one is drop-in ready for a perfect fit, letting you focus on your mount and swing, not fighting the stock.
- 725 Series Action: Lower profile, faster lock time, and a more positive mechanical trigger reset.
- Adjustable Comb Stock: Tool-less vertical and lateral adjustment for a perfect, custom cheek weld.
- Grade VII Walnut: High-grade, hand-selected wood with a deep, oil finish you can feel.
- 32″ Barrel Set: Long sight plane for smooth swings and consistent breaks on long crossers.
- Invector-DS Choke System: Comes with a full set; compatible with Browning’s extensive Invector-DS choke lineup.

So who is this for? Look, this isn’t a first shotgun. At $5140.38, it’s for the shooter who has outgrown their entry-level over-under and is chasing every possible advantage. It’s for the dedicated sporting clays competitor who needs a stock that fits their face exactly, every time. It’s also for the discerning upland hunter who wants a single, supremely balanced 20-gauge for everything from doves over decoys to late-season pheasants—the 32″ tubes carry beautifully in the field.
Pros: The adjustable comb is a game-winner for achieving a consistent mount. The 725 action is demonstrably improved. The Grade VII wood is simply stunning. The 20-gauge in this configuration is versatile and surprisingly soft-shooting.
Cons: The price point is a serious investment. The 32″ barrels can feel long in tight blinds or thick cover. It’s a precision tool, and some might find that level of fit and finish intimidating to take into rough conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the adjustable comb sturdy? Does it move during recoil?
A: It’s rock solid. Browning’s design uses a locking mechanism that, once set, doesn’t budge. I’ve never had it shift, even after hundreds of rounds in a day. It feels every bit as solid as a fixed stock.
Q: Can this handle 3″ magnum shells?
A: No. This model is specifically chambered for 2.75″ shells. That’s the trade-off for the sleek, scaled 20-gauge frame. For most target loads and standard field loads, it’s perfect. If you need 3″ for waterfowl, you’d want a different model.
Q: What’s the main difference between the 725 and the older Citori actions?
A: The 725 has a lower profile receiver, which improves sighting and balance. The mechanical trigger reset is more positive, and the lock time is faster. In hand, it just feels crisper and more direct. It’s a refined evolution of a proven system.
If you’re ready to step up to a shotgun that offers a truly custom fit and top-tier performance right out of the case, this Browning Citori 725 Gr7 is worth a close look.
