Key Features
AAAA Grade Maple Stock — This gloss-finished wood grain is not just for looks; the dense maple provides a stable, moisture-resistant platform that holds up to thousands of rounds without warping. Per Browning specs, the stock is hand-fitted for a consistent cheek weld.
Ported Barrels — The 32-inch barrels feature porting near the muzzle to reduce muzzle jump and felt recoil. This keeps your sight picture flat for faster follow-up shots on doubles or pairs.
Invector-DS Extended Chokes — Five extended choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F) let you fine-tune pattern density for any clay target presentation. The extended design makes swapping chokes quick without tools.
HiViz Pro-Comp Sight — A bright fiber-optic front sight that stands out against any background, from overcast skies to bright sun. It reduces time spent aligning beads, so you focus on the target.
Polished Blued Receiver with Engraving — The receiver is hand-engraved with game scenes and scrollwork, reflecting Browning’s tradition. The blued finish resists rust and wear, even with frequent use in humid conditions.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for competitive sporting clays shooters, trap enthusiasts, and hunters who want a premium over/under for fast, accurate wing shooting. It suits intermediate to advanced shooters who value a reliable, smooth-swinging gun with adjustable choke versatility. If you shoot 5,000+ rounds a season, the Citori 725’s durability and fitment justify the investment.
Pros & Cons
Pro: The AAAA maple stock offers superior grain stability and a distinct look compared to walnut. It’s less prone to cracking under heavy recoil.
Con: At 8 lbs, it’s on the heavier side for a 12-gauge — some shooters may find it tiring during long practice sessions. This weight aids swing momentum but can be a drawback for smaller-framed shooters.
Pro: The Invector-DS choke system patterns consistently with a wide range of loads, from light target shells to heavy hunting loads.
Con: The gloss stock finish shows scratches more readily than matte options — expect to apply wax or oil regularly to maintain the showroom look.

FAQ
What chokes come with the Browning Citori 725 Sporting Maple?
The shotgun ships with five Invector-DS extended choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. These are steel-shot compatible and designed for easy hand-tightening.
Is the Citori 725 suitable for left-handed shooters?
The standard model has a right-handed cast-off stock. Left-handed shooters should order the left-handed version or have the stock adjusted by a qualified gunsmith for proper fit.
Can I use this shotgun for waterfowl hunting?
Yes, the 12-gauge 32-inch barrel with Invector-DS chokes handles steel shot. However, the AAAA maple stock is glossy and may reflect light — consider a matte finish for stealth hunting.
How does the ported barrel affect recoil?
Per Browning specs, the ports reduce muzzle rise by about 20% compared to non-ported barrels. Recoil is still present but feels more linear, helping you stay on target for second shots.
