The Browning Citori Composite: A Modern Take on a Shotgun Legend
The Browning Citori has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable over/under shotguns in the world. For five decades, hunters and competitive shooters have trusted this platform. The Composite model brings that proven design into the modern era with smart material choices and refined ergonomics.
Design and Construction
The receiver features a full-width steel hinge pin and tapered locking bolt that work together to provide maximum durability. The engraved steel receiver wears a blued finish that balances aesthetics with corrosion resistance. This is a shotgun built to last and to look good doing it.
Stock and Handling
The composite stock and forearm represent a significant upgrade over traditional wood. Composite resists weather and moisture while allowing manufacturers to optimize grip dimensions for shooters of all sizes. Rubber overmolding on the grip areas enhances purchase and reduces felt recoil. An adjustable comb lets you dial in your sight picture, while the Inflex II recoil pad manages recoil impulse effectively.
Barrel Performance
The 26-inch barrels feature chrome chambers and a Vector Pro Lengthened Forcing Cone that reduces pellet deformation for denser, more consistent patterns. Back-bored technology works in concert with the Invector-Plus Choke Tube System, which includes three flush-fitting tubes for pattern customization. The floating rib sports an ivory bead front sight and mid-bead for quick target acquisition.
The Bottom Line
With a 60/40 point-of-impact, this shotgun shoots slightly high—ideal for hunting and sporting clays applications. The Citori Composite delivers legendary reliability wrapped in modern materials and ergonomics.
