Browning Citori 20g – Used

The Browning Citori is a renowned over-and-under shotgun that has been a staple among hunters and competitive shooters since its introduction in 1973. Manufactured by the Miroku Corporation in Japan, the Citori was developed as a more affordable alternative to the Browning Superposed, maintaining high-quality craftsmanship while being accessible to a broader range of enthusiasts.

The shotgun features a break-action mechanism with a box-lock design, ensuring reliable performance and ease of maintenance. Its barrels pivot on a full-length hinge pin and lock securely with a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt, providing durability and a tight lock-up over extended use.

The Citori’s receiver is typically constructed from steel, offering strength and longevity, while some models incorporate lightweight alloy receivers to reduce overall weight. The stock and fore-end are crafted from high-quality walnut, with options ranging from Grade I to higher-grade finishes, often featuring fine checkering and a gloss oil finish for an elegant appearance.

Modern Citori models are equipped with the Invector-Plus interchangeable choke tube system, allowing shooters to tailor their shot patterns for various applications. The barrels are chrome-lined for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, and many models include back-bored barrels and lengthened forcing cones to improve shot pattern consistency and reduce recoil.

Additional features include a single selective trigger, automatic ejectors, and a top-tang safety with an integrated barrel selector. The Inflex II recoil pad is designed to direct recoil away from the shooter’s face, enhancing comfort during extended shooting sessions.
