Browning Citori Special Hunting Inv.+

The Browning Citori over-and-under shotgun is a special model of the Browning B 525 series and the ideal choice for entering the premium class of hunting and sporting shotguns.
The features and functions of the Browning Citori are comparable to those of the Browning B 525 Game One model. Technically, the Browning Citori shotgun is based on the principles of the legendary original model, the FN B 25. This was manufactured until the late 1970s and was globally appreciated for its robustness and good shooting performance. The good qualities of the B 25 can also be found in today's series.

Action and Lock
The action of the Browning Citori is machined from a forged steel piece and finished with a durable silver nitride coating. It features an elegant hunting engraving, surrounded by light arabesques. The mechanism of the lock is also top-notch and absolutely reliable: The shotgun locks via two parallel rear barrel hooks. A wide, flat locking wedge that engages across the entire width into the hooks significantly increases the locking surface and provides additional stability. The high-quality hinge pin with an extra wide diameter of 8 mm ensures a long service life. The hammer ejectors operate extremely safely and powerfully. They are functionally oriented towards the design of Holland & Holland, although modern coil springs are used for the hammers.

Safety and Trigger
The trigger safety is ergonomically optimally positioned on the stock neck. The safety slider is also responsible for barrel selection. The wide slider is simply moved left or right for barrel selection. The single trigger is controlled via a recoil switch. It releases at a trigger weight of approximately 1,500 g without any prior dry firing.

Barrel Set
The barrel sets of the Browning Citori are manufactured with lengths of 71 cm or 76 cm. The barrel is equipped with an extra wide 10 mm rib, allowing for optimal target acquisition. The rib is ventilated, so there is no flickering above the barrel even during high shot sequences. The barrel and chamber are hard chrome plated on the inside, providing optimal rust protection. A special highlight is the Back-Bored barrel technology. The shotgun barrel tapers slightly from back to front, resulting in a smoother transition at the choke. This measurably increases shot speed, significantly reduces recoil, and greatly improves coverage. The extra long and interchangeable Invector-Plus choke inserts have been specially developed for the Back-Bored barrels.

Stock
The Browning Citori features an attractive hunting stock made of high-quality walnut wood class 3 with textured checkering on the forend and pistol grip. The forend ends in an elegant schnabel, and the entire stock is meticulously polished and oiled, highlighting the high quality of craftsmanship of the entire hunting shotgun.

The stock is finished with a 20 mm wide, elastic, and smooth Inflex II stock pad, which significantly reduces recoil and simultaneously slides quickly and securely into the shoulder when shouldered. Optional interchangeable pads are available in thicknesses of 12 mm or 25 mm.
