Special Features

• The Fire Lite 2 Mechanical Trigger system is an advancement over the Citori 725 design, delivering lighter and more consistent pull weights while maintaining reliable ignition with extra-light target loads, a direct benefit for competition shooters looking for precise trigger feel on every shot
• The Triple Trigger System includes three interchangeable trigger shoes in different widths, allowing shooters to customize the trigger feel and reach to match their hand size and shooting preference without any gunsmithing
• The Browning Citori 825 Sporting (0183223002) uses Back-Bored Technology combined with Vector Pro Lengthened Forcing Cones to reduce shot deformation as the payload travels through the barrel, producing more consistent and uniform patterns at the target
• The Invector-DS Extended choke system places the choke tube exit point beyond the muzzle crown, allowing the shot charge to fully form before exiting the barrel for more consistent patterns
• The tapered locking lug and recess system self-adjusts for wear over time, keeping lock up tight and preserving accuracy through years of high-volume shooting
• The full-width transverse hinge pin design maximizes receiver strength and spreads the opening and closing load across the full width of the action for long-term durability
• The Grade III/IV walnut stock features a close radius pistol grip with palm swell, cut checkering at 20 LPI, and a gloss oil finish, combining a refined competition feel with genuine premium wood character
• The top tang safety doubles as a barrel selector, letting shooters quickly choose which barrel fires first to match choke selection to the target presentation

Practical Benefits

• The 32-inch barrel gives the Browning Citori 825 Sporting (0183223002) the forward weight and swing momentum that experienced sporting clays and skeet competitors prefer for smooth, consistent target leads on crossing and overhead birds
• The five included Invector-DS Extended chokes cover every common sporting clays station from wide-open skeet presentations to tight long-distance chokes, eliminating the need to purchase additional tubes out of the box
• The HiViz Pro-Comp fiber optic front sight stands out clearly against any background, making target acquisition and sight picture consistency faster and more reliable during a full round of competition
• The Inflex II recoil pad is shaped with a smooth heel to prevent snagging on clothing during the mount, and the internal ribbing design works to keep the comb moving down and away from the face during the firing cycle
• Shooters with smaller or larger hands can dial in the trigger reach using the three interchangeable trigger shoes, making this gun a practical fit for a wider range of competitors without aftermarket modifications
• The chrome-plated chambers handle a high volume of loads without buildup slowing extraction, and the steel shot compatible design means waterfowl hunters can also run this gun in the field with non-toxic loads
• At 7 pounds 10 ounces with a 50-inch overall length, this over/under balances naturally at the hands for shooters who prefer a gun that swings through targets rather than stops on them

The Browning Citori 825 Sporting (0183223002) in 12 gauge is a proven platform for serious sporting clays competitors, skeet shooters, and dedicated shotgunners looking for a competition-ready over/under with premium fit, finish, and trigger performance right out of the box.
