With style to match the performance, these beautifully engraved and skillfully finished shotguns will be limited in production. Place your order today and enjoy one of these magnificent shotguns for years to come.
Historical craftsmanship with modern design.
Receiver - The receiver on this year's Grade VII trap gun is a melding of modern engineering and traditional artistry. The standard Citori 725 steel low·profile receiver has beautifully intricate deep relief engraving with a beautiful and rugged silver nitride finish.
Barrel - A high post floating top rib. allowing superior target visibility and tracking, sits atop a ported barrel (barrel porting reduces muzzle rise, aiding accuracy-essential follow through). The top and side ribs are ventilated for superior aesthetics and barrel cooling, instrumental in reducing target obscuring heat mirage.
Action - The Fire Lite Mechanical Trigger System sets the Citori 725 apart from lesser traditional over and unders, providing a crisp break, less take up, and shorter overtravel, while providing better second shot reliability than recoil dependent inertial triggers. Hammer ejectors quickly propel shells out of the chambers with a satisfyingly audible "click", allowing for quick and unobstructed reloads so you can stay mentally focused on your next shot. A top-tang barrel selector/safety switch allows you to quickly feel with your thumb or visually identify which barrel you are firing and confirm that you are "safe".
Stock - The Grade VI/VII walnut stock on the Citori 725 High Grade trap guns are as beautiful as they are functional. The oil finish highlights the ' tiger·striping" in the wood grain and the finely detailed checkering on the pistol grip and forearm. The stock is shaped with a close radius pistol grip and palm swell along with a semi-beavertail forearm with finger grooves in order lo avoid an overly tight yet secure grip on the gun. The raised Monte Carlo cheekpiece raises your eyes online with the high post rib. Last but not least, the ventilated trap recoil pad is a favorite among competitive trap shooters, based on its classic design and excellent recoil reduction.
Additional features
Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones combined with back-bored barrels minimize shot deformation and maximize shot pattern uniformity.
Five extended Invector-DS choke tubes - Invector-DS choke tubes combine muzzle-end threads and thin-wall construction for longer, more gradually tapered choke tubes that produce extremely consistent and dense shot patterns. The "DS" stands for double-seal; our proprietary differential-banded brass seal keeps threads cleaner for easier installation and removal.
Triple Trigger System allows for the fine tune adjustment of finger-to-trigger reach.
HiViz Pro-Comp fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead sight for excellent target acquisition even in low-light conditions.
Includes a John M. Browning Signature fitted case.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
