Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning Citori is one of the most respected and enduring over-under shotguns on the market, widely praised for its combination of mechanical reliability, elegant design, and versatile field and sport performance. Introduced in 1973 as a more affordable successor to the legendary Browning Superposed, the Citori maintained the high standards set by its predecessor while leveraging modern manufacturing to increase accessibility. Built in Japan by Miroku Corporation under strict Browning oversight, the Citori is known for its boxlock action, steel receiver, and mechanical triggers—ensuring consistent, reliable function regardless of load pressure. Available in a wide range of models, gauges, and barrel lengths, the Citori line includes field, trap, skeet, and sporting clay variants, each tailored to specific shooting disciplines but all sharing the core Citori build quality.

In terms of handling and fit, the Citori stands out with features like chrome-lined barrels, invector choke systems, satin or gloss walnut stocks, and inlay or engraved receivers, making it as much a pleasure to admire as it is to shoot. Its full-width hinge pin and dual conical locking lugs deliver rock-solid lockup and durability, supporting decades of use without degradation. The Citori also typically includes a recoil-reducing Inflex Technology pad and well-balanced swing characteristics, offering superior control for both fast upland shooting and precision clay busting. Whether in the hands of a seasoned competitor or a traditional bird hunter, the Browning Citori continues to represent a refined yet dependable option in the world of double-barrel shotguns—earning its place as a mainstay in sporting traditions worldwide.
