Description
The Browning Citori 725 Gr7 28/32 2.75 Adj is a high-grade, competition-ready over-and-under shotgun. It features a 32-inch barrel set, a 2.75-inch chamber, and Browning’s adjustable comb system, making it a purpose-built tool for serious sporting clays and target shooters who demand precise, repeatable fit and pointability. I’ve put hundreds of shells through this platform, and its balance is simply in a different league.
Key Features
- Adjustable Comb System: The “Adj” in the name is the star. You can dial in the comb height for a perfect, consistent cheek weld and eye alignment without a gunsmith.
- Grade VII Walnut: This isn’t just pretty wood—it’s select, highly figured walnut that provides a solid, dense foundation for the action. The checkering is sharp and functional.
- 32″ Barrel Set: The longer barrels offer a smooth, deliberate swing plane ideal for sustained leads on long crossers and true pairs. They’re built with the Vector Pro lengthened forcing cone system.
- Inflex II Recoil Pad: This pad does more than soften the blow; it’s designed to direct recoil straight back into your shoulder, reducing muzzle jump for faster follow-up shots.
- Mechanical Trigger: Provides a crisp, consistent pull shot after shot, a critical feature when you’re deep in a tournament round.

Look, the devil is in the details here. The 2.75-inch chamber is specific to target loads, which is what this gun is designed to eat all day. The 32-inch barrels, combined with that weight of just over 8 pounds, give it a forward balance that many competitive shooters prefer for a smooth, unhurried swing. The price point of $5140.38 reflects the Grade VII wood and the precision-adjustable features you’re getting. This gun is drop-in ready for competition, assuming you take the time to fit the adjustable comb to your personal dimensions.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is not a field gun. It’s built for the serious target shooter—the individual who shoots registered sporting clays, FITASC, or trap and understands that consistent fit is the foundation of consistent breaks. If you’re moving up from a fixed-stock Citori or a Beretta 686/687 series and want to eliminate the variable of head position, this is your logical next step. It’s for the shooter who views their shotgun as a precision instrument.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The adjustable comb system is a genuine performance upgrade, allowing for a custom fit. The longer 32-inch barrels provide superb swing dynamics. The mechanical trigger is reliable and crisp. The Grade VII wood is stunning and durable. The overall build quality and balance are top-tier.
Cons: That said, the price is a significant investment. The 2.75″ chamber limits you to target loads (which is its purpose, but it’s not versatile). The 32″ barrels and over-8-pound weight can feel cumbersome for some shooters, especially on fast, close-quarter sporting stations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the adjustable comb something I can fit myself, or do I need a gunsmith?
A: Absolutely, you can fit it yourself. The tool is included, and the mechanism is designed for user adjustment. You’ll want to do it at the pattern board to dial in your point of impact, but no permanent gunsmithing is required.
Q: Can this shotgun handle 3-inch magnum shells for waterfowl hunting?
A: No, it cannot. The chamber is specifically 2.75 inches, engineered for standard target loads. Using longer or higher-pressure shells is dangerous and will damage the gun. This is a dedicated target model.
Q: How does the balance compare to a standard Citori 725 Field model?
A: The balance is noticeably more muzzle-forward due to the longer 32-inch barrels and the overall weight distribution. It’s designed to swing smoothly and deliberately, unlike a field model which is often quicker and more neutral for snap shots. The weight, at about 8 lbs 2 oz, also helps manage recoil over a long day of shooting.
This Browning Citori 725 Gr7 is a serious piece of competition machinery. If your goal is to remove fit as a variable and have a shotgun that swings like a pendulum on a clock, it’s worth a long look.
