If that sentence resonates with you, then you have. Whether it was a bolt-action long gun, semi-auto shotgun, AR platform, or six-shooter doesn\u2019t matter. Everything felt perfect whenever you put it in your hands, pressed it tight to your shoulder, or swung on a fast-flying clay. The gun filled you with confidence, is a cherished possession, and will someday get passed on as a family heirloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4961-1024x601.jpg\" alt=\"shotgun by hay\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have two of these guns, and during my outdoor writing tenure, I\u2019ve shouldered and wrapped my hands around hundreds. That\u2019s how rare it is to find a gun that feels custom-made for you. And for some of you, maybe you have one or more custom builds, a gun crafted to your specifications. I don\u2019t have a custom-made rifle, shotgun, or handgun; I\u2019m referring to factory models that come right off the shelf from your dealer. Finding one of these gems is rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After spending over a month testing Browning\u2019s all-new Citori 725 Field, I can confidently say that I now have three factory-made guns that feel like they were made just for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5021-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"man with Citori shotgun\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sometimes, you find a gun with a fit and feel that makes it feel like it was made for you. The author found this in Browning\u2019s Citori 725 28 Gauge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-little-history\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Little History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Browning introduced its Citori shotgun in 1973, and the over-under became an instant hit. The goal was to give the shooting masses, clay busters, and hunters a more affordable alternative to its uber-popular superposed shotguns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2011, Browning strengthened the Citori legacy by launching the Citori 725 in various models and configurations. The hope was to incorporate more modern advancements while maintaining the traditional qualities that made the Citori a legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Citori 725\u2019s low-profile receiver was a big change. By bringing the shooter\u2019s eye closer to the axis of the barrels, it significantly improved handling and balance. Many clay shooters liked the change. Also, bird hunters praised the new receiver for enabling a more fluid swing and enhanced in-the-field handling. This improvement instills a sense of confidence in the shooter, knowing that their accuracy and control have been enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4970-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"man with Citori held up\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">By bringing the shooter\u2019s eye closer to the axis of the barrels, handling and balance are improved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-why-the-citori-725-hits-different\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the Citori 725 Hits Different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Citori 725 also featured a mechanical trigger. Unlike the previous Citori, which used an inertia trigger system, the 725 uses a mechanical trigger, which ensures a more consistent trigger pull regardless of recoil. This was appreciated more by upland goers who dropped heavier loads into the barrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4962-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Citori up close\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Citori 725 also featured a mechanical trigger.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other features such as Vector Pro Lengthened Forcing Cones, reduced felt recoil, and improved shot patterns. The Invector-DS (Double Seal) Choke System boosted pattern performance while making the chokes easier to remove and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Citori 725 grew in popularity, more makes and models were added. Most recently, with the massive growth of the sub-gauge era, Browning added the 28-gauge to its fine lineup of Citori 725 Field models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5006-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"shotgun open\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Most recently, with the massive growth of the sub-gauge era, Browning added the 28-gauge to its fine lineup of Citori 725 Field models.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will never part with Browning\u2019s Citori 725 Field chambered in 28 gauge. It IS the gun that has become my third-ever gun that feels like it was made to my exact shooting wants and specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-first-impressions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pulling a gun from the box showcasing this type of craftsmanship intimidates me from the get-go. Not with the assembly, this shotgun promises a straightforward assembly that takes seconds. Instead, I\u2019m afraid to handle and take the shotgun to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of the Citori 725 Field, features like the metalwork, which depicts engraved flushing quail on one side of the receiver and doves on the other, grab the eye. The stock is a Grade II\/III walnut stock that sports a smooth satin finish. The barrels on top-end <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-steel-shot\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-browning-28-gauge-citori-725-field-reveiw\" title=\"Browning Citori 725 Field 28 Gauge Review\">Steel Shot<\/a> Performance make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4976-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"man holding Citori 725\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The engraved receiver gives this shotgun an added touch of elegance, but make no mistake; it was built to dominate on the range and in the field.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-designed-to-hunt-built-to-last\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designed to Hunt, Built to Last<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had to remind myself that Browning purposely put the word \u201cField\u201d into the shotgun\u2019s name. This gun was engineered to crack clays, bust doves, hammer fast-flushing roosters, and handle puddle ducks on days when you know they\u2019ll suck tight to the deeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I appreciated the Tapered Locking Bolt, which I knew would help fight against everyday wear and tear and ensure a tight receiver lock-up. Chrome chambers increase durability and fight off corrosion, and I\u2019d read enough about the FireLite Mechanical Trigger to know the break should be clean with zero slop or creep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4994-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Citori 725 upside down\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chrome chambers increase durability and fight off corrosion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have plenty of experience with Inflex Technology and knew that this, combined with the gauge, would reduce shoulder abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-performance-from-the-citori-725\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance from the Citori 725<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Browning sent me a 28-gauge Citori 725 Field with a 28-inch barrel, but a 26-inch barrel option is available. Measuring 45 3\/4 inches long, this 7-pound shotgun feels light as a feather and ultra-maneuverable. The gun will handle 2-3\/4- and 3-inch loads, so you can use this shotgun for everything from doves to geese to turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4981-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"up close of Citori 725\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The gun will handle 2-3\/4- and 3-inch loads, so you can use this shotgun for everything from doves to geese to turkey.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Inflex Recoil Pad II has proven its salt, and I know from shouldering other Brownings that it soaks up recoil like a sponge. Browning includes Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder chokes, and after placing the IC choke in the bottom barrel and the M choke in the top barrel, I was ready to go boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-in-the-field\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">In The Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve learned not to get in a hurry when testing a new firearm. As badly as I wanted to drop a pair of Federal Top Gun target loads in the barrels and bust some clays, I first wanted to further familiarize myself with the shotgun\u2019s functions and swing it right to the left, left to right, up and down, and down and up before sending a lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full-width Hinge Pin maximizes strength and longevity. After sliding the break-action lever to the right and pulling downward slightly on the vented top barrel, the action broke open smoothly. Lock-up is also smooth, and you\u2019ll hear a <em>click<\/em> when you close the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4974-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"looking down at shotgun\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lock-up is also smooth, and you\u2019ll hear a <em>click<\/em> when you close the action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-barrel-control-and-safety-function\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barrel Control and Safety Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shooters have different opinions about which barrel should be fired first. Most competition shooters agree that the bottom barrel delivers less felt recoil because it\u2019s lower in the gun and more in line with the shoulder. This has been my experience as well. For this reason, I slid the top-tang safety, which also serves as the barrel selector, to the right to expose the branded U, telling me the bottom barrel would fire first. A slide to the left shows an O, which means the bottom barrel will fire first. A forward push of the safety makes the shotgun hot, and a reverse pull makes it safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">28-gauge ammo can be hard to come by. I only had Winchester\u2019s Xpert High-Velocity Steel Loads in #6 for the first two weeks of testing. Still, I busted the first two crossing clays I squeezed the trigger on. The shotgun felt smooth and balanced and was a joy to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the past two weeks, I\u2019ve shot the Citori 725 Field with Federal\u2019s #7-1\/2 Top Gun target loads, Remington\u2019s Premier STS 28 Gauge #9s, and Federal\u2019s Prairie Storm FS Lead #6s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-design-that-drives-performance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design That Drives Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with other Browning shotguns I\u2019ve tested, I discovered that Browning\u2019s 50\/50 POI (Point of Impact) held true for me. The POI percentage is the number of pellets that fall above and below the front sight bead. While this is essential no matter the gauge, I\u2019ve found it pivotal for regular success when shooting sub-gauges. There are far fewer pellets in a 28-gauge shotshell than a 12-gauge shotshell, but shooting confidence snowballs when the shooter knows that half the shot will be above the bird and half below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I was cracking clays with my steel shot #6s, which the Steel Shot Performance barrels handled beautifully, I was turning the orange discs into puffs of smoke with the #7-1\/2 (1,330 fps) and #9 (1,200 fps) shot size rounds. The purpose of the #6 Prairie Storm (1,300 fps) ammo was to test the shotgun\u2019s recoil with a load engineered to smash upland. The Inflex Recoil Pad II handled the recoil like a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I applaud the flat-bottomed, long forearm, which allows the shooter to get their hand further out on the forearm. This design forces the shooter to use their body and not just their arms when shooting, which boosts shot-to-shot consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-smooth-consistent-operation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smooth, Consistent Operation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another winning feature is fluid shotshell ejection, whether you fire a single barrel or both. The ejectors produce an audible <em>click<\/em>, and clearance is excellent. You can place your hand over the shotshells and eject them directly into your hand, or you can break the gun with your hand clear, and the ejectors will send spent shotshells into the air. It\u2019s important to understand, and an excellent feature of this shotgun, that the mechanical ejectors only eject fired shotshells. If you fire only the bottom barrel or only the top barrel and break the gun open, only the fired shotshell will eject. The unfired round will remain in place and be ready when you load another round and close the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4988-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"man shooting Citori 725\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You have to shoot it to fully understand how balanced and smooth this shotgun feels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 725 Field handles amazingly, as a quality shotgun wearing this price tag should, but the gun is more than impressive, it\u2019s a work of art that fits and functions perfectly. You have to shoot it to fully understand how balanced and smooth this shotgun feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though a sub-gauge, the design of the ultra-low-profile receiver improved recoil control, creating less muzzle jump, which allows the shooter to focus on shot execution. The shotgun swings with a custom feel that you must experience to appreciate fully, and I love the feel of the Fire Lite Mechanical Tirger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE HERE:<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt-365-alaska-tested-brownings-citori-825-field\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-browning-28-gauge-citori-725-field-reveiw\" title=\"Browning Citori 725 Field 28 Gauge Review\">Alaska Tested: Browning\u2019s Citori 825 Field<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-final-thoughts-on-the-citori-725\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts On the Citori 725<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For sub-gauge fans, there is no denying the performance of Browning\u2019s Citori 725 Field chambered in 28 gauge.
