It's understood that you get more with a Browning Golden Clays model shotgun. More "ooohs," more "ahhhs," and certainly more compliments. In addition to the envious accolades that come from friends and competitors alike when they lay eyes upon this handsome over and under, the Golden Clays Sporting includes all the performance features that make the Citori 825 great, resulting in more busted clays.
The Citori 825 is the latest in the storied lineage of Browning over and under shotguns that began with John M. Browning and his legendary B25 Superposed. This new model shares a number of features with the original, the most important being the easy handling prowess that feels nothing short of intuitive. It is quick to the shoulder, natural to point, and effortless to swing.
While the Citori 825 Golden Clays Sporting has breathtaking looks, make no mistake that this is a competition-ready shooter. It features a Graco adjustable comb that allows shooters to easily fine-tune the bead alignment for a precise sight picture. Additionally, the Pro Balance System enables users to meticulously adjust the balance point, resulting in a smooth, well-balanced swing and mount.
Like the B25 and other Citori models, Citori 825 shotguns rely on the blueprint of the renowned full-width hinge and tapered locking lug design to provide maximum strength and unstoppable reliability for a shotgun that will outlast every other. All of this durability is stuffed inside a low-profile receiver that offers advantages to the shooter, as well. The reduced height of the receiver lowers the bore line of the barrels to optimize swing and pointability, while also putting the barrels more in line with the shoulder to better control felt recoil and minimize muzzle jump for more accurate second shots. The receiver is highlighted with classic scroll engraving and gold accents.
The popular mechanical trigger from the Citori 725 has been enhanced to offer even better performance and lighter pull weights than ever before. Dependability with extra light loads has also been improved.
Other new features added to the Citori 825 Golden Clays Sporting center around the interface with the shooter. The controls have been redesigned, with the shape of the safety/selector making it easier to use. The top lever is more ergonomic, easier to operate, and the styling blends with the looks of the new receiver. Even the forearm latch has been scrutinized with the larger lever making it easier to remove the forearm.
