For shooters serious about competition-grade performance and long-term reliability, the right over-under shotgun must combine mechanical integrity with refined handling. The following breakdown explains why this platform is favored by sporting clay competitors, upland hunters, and serious enthusiasts who expect consistent function from every shot.

BROWNING CITORI The Citori features an extreme level of craftsmanship that delivers dependable function, impeccable looks and championship performance. Key mechanical elements — including a convenient barrel selector that lets the shooter choose which barrel fires first on a single trigger — make it adaptable for any shooting format. The automatic ejectors remove fired shells when the action opens and elevate unfired shells for rapid, safe removal.

Design and Locking System

The Citori’s transverse-mounted fullwidth tapered locking bolt is a standout feature. It engages a fullwidth tapered recess in the rear barrel lugs to create a robust lockup that resists loosening under repeated firing. The hinge pin extends completely from one side of the receiver to the other for maximum strength, a subtle but critical detail when you demand consistent barrel alignment across thousands of cycles.

Chamber Durability and Maintenance

Chrome-plated chambers resist the toll that thousands of shells can take on lesser guns. That plating simplifies cleaning and extends service life, especially under high-use conditions like competitive schedules or frequent training sessions. At a retail price of $1,697.99, the Citori balances premium materials with long-term value.

Performance and Handling

Ergonomics and balance are tuned to provide a clean, repeatable swing—important for competitive targets and field work alike. The single-trigger sequencing gives a predictable firing order, and the easy-to-use barrel selector allows shooters to set the first-barrel preference without altering carry or grip. Automatic ejectors speed reloads between rounds and reduce time spent handling hot brass.

The BROWNING CITORI is engineered for shooters who require championship-level reliability and mechanical precision in an over-under platform.
