Description
The Browning Citori 725 High Rib Sporting with Adjustable Comb 12 Ga 3″ Chamber 32″ Ported Barrel HiViz Pro-Comp Sights Walnut Stock is a premium over-and-under shotgun engineered for serious sporting clays and target shooters. It features a high rib for a more natural, heads-up shooting posture, an adjustable comb for a custom fit, and a long, ported barrel for reduced muzzle rise and follow-up shots.

Weighing in around 8.5 pounds, the Citori 725 High Rib Sporting is built for stability, not for carrying miles in the field. That weight, combined with the ported 32-inch barrels, soaks up recoil beautifully, making long practice sessions less punishing on your shoulder. The mechanical trigger is crisp, and the gun’s balance point is forward of the hinge, which many shooters prefer for a smooth, sustained lead on crossing targets. Here’s the thing—while it’s a top-tier sporting gun, its 3″ chamber means it’s also capable for waterfowl or turkey hunting with the right chokes, like aftermarket options from Briley or Trulock. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, as with all our firearms.

Pros & Cons
Pros: The high rib and adjustable comb provide an exceptional, customized fit out of the box for most shooters. The porting and weight effectively manage recoil. Browning’s reputation for reliability and quality craftsmanship in this price range is well-earned. The 32″ barrel offers superb swing dynamics for clays.
Cons: The $3078.21 price tag is a substantial hurdle. The gun is heavy and long, making it less ideal for field hunting or smaller-framed shooters. It’s a specialized tool; you’re paying for features you may not need if your primary use is hunting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the adjustable comb difficult to set up?
A: Not at all. It’s designed for user adjustment with simple tools, allowing you to dial in your perfect cheek weld and eye alignment without any gunsmithing required.
Q: How does the high rib benefit my shooting?
A: It raises your line of sight, allowing you to keep your head more upright and in a natural, relaxed position. This can reduce neck strain and improve your sight picture on rising or crossing targets, a common scenario in sporting clays.
Q: Can this gun be used for hunting?
A: While its 3″ chamber and 12-gauge versatility technically allow it, its 32″ barrel length and nearly 9-pound weight make it cumbersome for walking fields or maneuvering in a blind. It’s a dedicated target gun first.
For the shooter ready to invest in a competition-ready platform that prioritizes fit and shootability, the Browning Citori 725 High Rib Sporting represents a serious step up. Its design choices all serve a practical purpose on the course. If your goal is to break more clays with greater comfort, this model delivers tangible benefits that can justify its cost over years of use. See full details and availability on our product page.
