Citori. A perfect blend of beauty and performance.
The Citori is more than a shotgun, it is the quintessential
representative of the quality of the Browning brand.
Wood-to-metal fit is paramount on the Citori and with tight,
consistent junctions it doesn’t disappoint. Action components
are machined to exacting tolerances, heat-treated for greater
strength and fitted using the traditional lampblack-and-file
method to ensure the precise fit of critical components prior to
being assembled to the action. It is this extreme level of
craftsmanship that leads to the dependable function, impeccable
looks, championship performance and respect from both Citori
owners and the competition alike. We challenge you to take any
Citori from the rack and you’ll see the same high level of fit
and finish on every gun. Open and close the action and throw it
to your shoulder. Sight down the barrels. Only then will you
fully understand why the Citori has gained its reputation as the
finest over and under shotgun available in the world. 2007 is
another exciting year for the Citori, with several new model
additions that are sure to keep this lineup of regal shotguns at
the front of the pack.
Citori 525 feather. Light as a feather.
The 525 Series is one of the best selling Citori lines ever.
With this high level of success some gun companies would just
sit back and keep selling the same basic product. Not Browning.
The new Feather 525 field guns couple the popular 525 Field with
our popular Feather Technology to make a shotgun already
regarded as the best looking and handling even lighter and
faster than ever before. Feather Technology replaces the steel
receiver with an ultra lightweight alloy model that provides
more than a full pound of weight reduction. Of course, lighter
weight doesn’t mean light duty. Even with the alloy receiver,
the strength and longevity of your Citori 525 Feather are not
compromised. The Feather shotguns rely on a solid steel
dovetailed breech face and steel hinge pin, both areas of high
wear on an over and under, to take the brunt of the forces that
act on these critical components. With their reduced mass, 12
gauge 525 Feather models weigh about the same as a 20 gauge
Citori, but with the advantages of faster handling and pointing,
and a larger shot payload. This weight reduction also means a
Citori 525 Feather is much easier to carry during a long day in
the field. Shoulder a new Citori 525 Feather and understand for
yourself how a little less can actually be so much more.
Citori Lightning. Lightning Strikes.
From the moment the first Browning Superposed over and under
shotguns came off the assembly line in Herstal, Belgium, they
had a timeless look and feel that made them destined for
greatness. As the last design project undertaken by the man
himself, John M. Browning, the Superposed was ultimately
completed after his death and remained a stalwart in the
Browning line for over 40 years until a suitable replacement was
developed. That gun is the Citori, now the number one over and
under shotgun on the market. The Citori Lightning models you see
on these pages feature the same timeless styling the Superposed
made so popular, with traditional receiver engraving patterns
and sleek stock and forearm designs. These fine field guns
feature fast, balanced handling and virtually indestructible
inner workings for generations of performance shooting. The
Citori Feather models feature a lightweight alloy receiver that
shaves weight with zero loss in durability thanks to the
integration of a steel breech face and steel hinge pin. Pick up
a Lightning today and discover for yourself why the Citori
remains number one in the hearts of millions of discerning
shotgunners around the globe.
Citori GTS. Game? Targets? Get the best of both
worlds with the GTS.
One shotgun can do it all, as long as that shotgun is a new
Browning Citori GTS. The GTS combines all the best features of
Citori field and target models to produce a unique hybrid over
and under designed to bring down birds and smash targets with
equal zeal. The 3" chambers accommodate a wide variety of loads
to tackle everything from heavy geese to round after round of
sporting clays. The 10mm rib is wide enough to easily pick up
clay targets but not distract from fast moving game in the
field. Fine walnut stocks feature a pistol grip for optimum
finger to trigger placement, and the addition of the Triple
Trigger System™ further dials in this critical measurement.
Back-Bored Barrel Technology reduces felt recoil for extra
comfort, provides consistent patterns and works in harmony with
a full complement of five Invector-Plus™ chokes to ensure the
right pattern for any situation. Of course, these GTS models are
still Browning to the core, with tight wood-to-metal fit,
precisely machined action components that are heat-treated for
greater strength and then precisely fitted using the old world
lampblack-and-file method. A hand-rubbed oil finish gives the
GTS a sleek, low luster finish that perfectly frames this high
level of craftsmanship. One gun for all seasons and reasons?
It’s no problem for a Browning GTS.
Citori Sporting. Just what you’re looking for.
The clay target shooting sports continue to gain popularity at a
blistering pace, and there is definitely a Citori designed
especially to meet the needs of your specific game. We offer a
terrific selection of sporting shotguns tailored to meet the
unique challenges that trap, skeet and sporting clays places on
both you and your shotgun. You and your scorecard will certainly
appreciate exclusive Browning features like the Triple Trigger™
System, an optional cast and drop adjustable comb that lets you
dial-in your custom settings with just the turn of a single
screw, and the natural balance, fast handling and pointability
lauded by generations of Browning shotgun owners. Whichever gun
you choose, every target model is built around the proven,
reliable Citori action and is destined to provide you with years
and years of use and enjoyment.
Citori Grand Prix Sporter. The ultimate over and
under in innovation, versatility and performance.
Don’t be fooled by its conventional looks. The new Citori Grand
Prix Sporter is one seriously advanced over and under.
Browning’s exclusive Selective Ejection System allows you to
quickly and easily convert from ejection mode to extraction
mode. This lets you choose whether fired hulls eject clear of
the chambers when the action is opened, or hulls simply elevate
for easy removal by hand. This system is activated in a matter
of seconds simply by removing the forearm and sliding a lever.
In addition to this exciting new feature, there is plenty more
to rave about with the Grand Prix Sporter. Lightweight barrels
swing smooth and fast, and utilize Browning’s Back-Bored
Technology to ensure dense, even and consistent shot patterns.
Five Midas™ Grade choke tubes are included to ensure those
patterns are just what you need for the situation at hand. The
straight comb walnut stock helps create the rapid target
acquisition that makes the Citori a sought after addition to
every gun collection. A modern receiver engraving pattern
includes gold enhancements befitting a gun of this magnitude.
Take a Citori Grand Prix Sporter for a test drive today.
Citori XT. Experience the XT-ravaganza!
A Citori XT Trap is truly a purist’s over and under trap shotgun
with features designed to help you improve on your personal
best. The ultra-reliable Citori action serves as the foundation
for these two fine guns, with inner workings capable of
devouring many thousands of trouble-free practice and
competition rounds. A rich gloss on fine walnut highlights the
silver nitride receiver finish. A wide high-post rib allows for
excellent visibility and enhances rapid target acquisition. The
barrels are ported for comfortable shooting. Back-Bored
Technology and the interchangeable Invector-Plus™ choke tube
system provide optimal shot patterns that are easily optimized
for your target situation. Whether it’s the full race, clay
crushing XT Trap Gold with fully adjustable GraCoil system and
gold enhanced engraving or a more standard model — with or
without the optional adjustable comb, you just can’t miss with a
Citori XT Trap.
Hammers and Hammer Ejectors
Hammers are powered by powerful coil-type mainsprings for
positive primer ignition. The convenient barrel selector allows
the shooter to choose which barrel fires on the first pull of
the single trigger, and the second pull fires the remaining
barrel. Ejectors are activated by a sharp hammer blow for more
positive ejection than the push imparted by competitors’
ejectors. The automatic ejectors eject fired shells when the
breech is opened and elevate unfired shells for easy removal.
Locking Bolt and Hinge Pin
The Citori utilizes a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered
locking bolt. The tapered locking bolt engages a full-width
tapered recess in the rear barrel lugs. The taper allows the
bolt to seat deeper over the years. The hinge pin extends from
one side of the receiver to the other for maximum strength. It’s
the reason people say a Citori wears in, not out.
Chrome Chambers
All Citori shotguns feature chrome-plated chambers that resist
the toll thousands of shells can take on lesser quality guns.
Corrosion resistance is also greatly improved.
Triple Trigger System
All Sporting Clays, XT and XS Series Citori shotguns come
equipped with the Triple Trigger™ system, which allows the
shooter to fine tune the length of pull and switch between a
wide checkered, a narrow smooth and a wide smooth canted trigger
shoe.
Back-Bored Barrels
12 and 20 gauge Citori shotguns feature Back-Bored Technology.
Choke Tubes
12 and 20 gauge Citori shotguns include the interchangeable
Invector-Plus™ choke tube system. 28 gauge and .410 bore Citori
shotguns include the Standard Invector™ system. |
