Beautiful and full featured, the Citori 825 Golden Clays Trap offers demanding shooters a shotgun that will satisfy their need for performance and elegance. This model combines all the advantages that have made Browning over and under shotguns key players at every trap shoot in the world plus the advantages of a re-styled, low-profile receiver that puts a fresh face on this trap range leader.
The new 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.
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.
True to its name, the receiver is where the changes that highlight the Citori 825 begin, where new styling and engraving artwork alter both shape and appearance. The Golden Clays makes use of the receiver, trigger guard, and forearm lever to decorate with traditional, deep relief scroll engraving that is accented with gold.
Visual differences don’t end with the receiver, the beautifully figured Grade V/VI walnut stock and forearm receive a satin finish and subtle new styling cues that accentuate the aggressive new look of the Citori 825 receiver shape. The receiver is protected from wear and corrosion by a durable silver nitride finish.
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 Trap 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.
Long days at the range are made easier with the addition of the Gracoil® Recoil Reduction System. This feature is a staple of trapshooters worldwide, offering the advantages of adjustable felt recoil control, and customizable length of pull and butt pad location. A Graco adjustable comb is also featured.
