The Browning Citori 825 Field 20 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun (Model 0183466005) is a fast-handling, lightweight field gun built for upland bird hunters who need quick shouldering and maneuverability in thick cover. This model features a 26-inch barrel, a classic blued receiver, and a premium Turkish walnut stock. Designed with the serious bird hunter in mind, the Citori 825 Field delivers the smooth swing, reliability, and refined ergonomics that have made the Citori series a favorite among upland enthusiasts for generations.
Fast-Handling 26-Inch Barrel for Thick Cover
The 26-inch barrels on the Citori 825 Field make it exceptionally maneuverable in dense vegetation and heavy brush where many upland birds hold tight. The shorter barrel length reduces overall weight and improves balance, allowing hunters to quickly shoulder the gun and acquire fast-flushing targets such as quail, woodcock, ruffed grouse, and pheasant in thick cover. Despite the shorter barrels, this shotgun maintains excellent pattern performance at typical hunting ranges when paired with quality 20-gauge ammunition.
Chambered in 20 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, this model offers significantly lighter recoil than 12-gauge shotguns while still providing effective performance on upland game. This makes the Citori 825 Field ideal for long days walking fields behind a pointing dog.
