When durability, consistent handling, and a refined shooting experience matter, an over/under shotgun that blends tradition with modern materials is the practical choice for hunters and clay shooters alike. This review examines how composite construction can improve ergonomics and longevity without sacrificing the balance and swing that shooters expect from a classic design.

BROWNING CITORI COMPOSITE is the modern evolution of a legendary platform. Directly descended from the Superposed, this Over Under model retains the foundational locking and handling characteristics while introducing a composite stock and forearm to resist weather and simplify manufacturing. The composite allows slimmer grip dimensions and integrated rubber overmolds for improved purchase and control across shooters of different hand sizes. Shop this product

Design & Materials

The composite stock and forearm are engineered to be tough and weather-resistant, addressing common field concerns like swelling or finish degradation. By manipulating the molding process, Browning provides a thinner grip profile that suits smaller hands without compromising the Citori’s signature balance and swing dynamics. Rubberized overmolds on the grip areas enhance tactile control during rapid target transitions.

Action and Balance

Retaining the Superposed’s action geometry means the Citori Composite favors a clean break, reliable locking, and repeatable barrel alignment—key for consistent patterning. The composite components are introduced without altering the sighting plane or swing weight, preserving familiarity for long-time Citori users while improving durability.

Practical Applications

As an Over Under, the Citori Composite is well suited for sporting clays, skeet, and upland hunting. The balance and swing characteristics make tracking moving targets intuitive, while the weather-resistant stock means less downtime for maintenance after wet or cold conditions. Multiple models are available to match shooter preferences, listed under Various model designations on the product page.
