Design and Lock-Up

The Citori 825 Trap carries forward the legendary Superposed design with a low-profile receiver, full-width hinge pin and a tapered locking bolt system. Those features create an exceptionally solid lock-up that improves consistency and barrel alignment—critical for repeatable patterns when engaging sporting clays presentations. The silver nitride finish on the barrels and action improves surface hardness and resists wear for long service life.

Trigger System and Sight

This model uses Browning’s Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger for a light, crisp pull with reduced overtravel—especially useful in timed disciplines. The Trap variant adds a Triple Trigger System with three trigger shoes, giving instant options for trigger spacing to fit hand size and shooting style. A high-post floating rib paired with a Pro Comp sight by HiViz and an ivory mid-bead streamlines target acquisition for fast-moving clay targets. The adjustable comb allows precise bead alignment so the sight picture matches your cheek weld.

Barrels, Chokes and 12 Gauge Performance

Chambered in 12 gauge with 30-inch barrels, the Citori 825 Trap balances swing dynamics and shot string control suited to sporting clays. Two IM chokes are included along with an additional choke tube set (F, LF, M), offering pattern flexibility across ranges and presentations. The 12 gauge provides the versatility and shot density favored by most competitive shooters and range enthusiasts.

Fit, Finish, and Value

The gloss-finished Grade III/IV walnut stock gives classic aesthetics and the durability expected on a competition firearm. At a list price of $3515.99, this shotgun targets serious shooters who demand a competition-grade platform backed by proven engineering.
