Browning Citori 725 Sporting with Adjustable Comb 12 Gauge Over/Under-Action Shotgun, Gloss Oil – 0135533009

I just recently purchased from Cabela's the Citori 725 Sporting Adjustable. I took it out today to both pattern it, and then shoot a 100 round sporting clays course. I was very, very pleased with the gun's balance and its handling. I shot the course very well, especially for a new shotgun. Our club members were also impressed with the gun, and complemented me on its good looks, balance and feel. The gun functioned perfectly, and showed very little signs of leading or plastic fowling when I cleaned it up. I consider it a KEEPER!

I purchased the Browning 725 sporting with a 32" barrel. WOW what a gun on the sporting clay course. Not only did it shoot well but it looks great too. I got many complements on the looks and the feel of the gun. My friends told me it was a unfair advantage.

I just recently bought the Browning Citori 725 Sporting Clays gun as I wanted something my 16 year-old son and I could shoot clays together. The gun is very light weight and has almost no recoil. It was so much fun to shoot that we both cannot wait to get out on the clays course again. I got a lot of questions about the gun from the instructors at the course we go to and bunch of the instructors tried out the gun as they wanted to see how it compared to the Beretta Silver Pigeons that the club has as house guns. All the instructors like the Browning much better and two of them made plans to go to Cabela's while the gun is on sale to pick one up for themselves. I would highly recommend this gun to anyone interested in shooting sporting clays. Its range and accuracy is amazing. Great gun for anyone from a beginner to an experienced shooter.

I bought the 725 32" Sporting last year. It is light and easy to swing. The recoil is minimal. I shoot an average of 500 rounds a month. No Problems and my scores have improved. I even took it quail and pheasant hunting. I am very happy and looking to buy a matched 20ga when BassPro gets them stocked.

First time out with my brand new 12 ga 725 sporting with adjustable stock cracked all the way through at the wrist, things happen like this which I understand but Browning has had my gun for four weeks and has not even looked at it yet let alone given me any type of completion time frame. From what I read it could be months before I see my gun again, wish I would have bought the Baretta.

For over/unders, I also own a Beretta 690 III and a bettinsoli x8 extra. I like both of those guns and particularly like the aesthetics of the Beretta but despite hearing it over and over I never really understood the meaning and importance of 'fit' until I got this gun. It just finds the clays, best trigger anywhere near that price range and the precision with which the gun was made is fantastic. I do find that while the wood is nice, I have seen better in the grade 3/4 range (my Beretta for one) and I do enjoy some nice engraving on a receiver but this gun is all business and at the price, I really don't think it can be touched.

This is a fantastic gun. The look and feel of this gun is fantastic and it fits me like a glove. The wood grain on mine is beautiful. The trigger is on browning standards with a soft clean break. Switching witch barrel to shoot first is simple but it does sound a little clunky but not really a problem. It looks like the barrels has been paired up correctly and shoots straight. The recoil is hardly felt and you will able to shoot all day.

I would recommend researching this gun before considering purchasing it. There is a tendency for the stocks to crack. The warranty policy on Browning shotguns is vague and essentially at their discretion as to what they cover. I do not yet know if this will be covered under warranty, but I have been told by browning that with woodwork to expect at least 4 month in service. I have seen other owners report up to a year.

I picked it up on Tuesday and shot a round of sporting clays on Saturday. A purchase at this price point is always a little bit of a gamble, so I was thrilled to try it out and find that it's a great fit for me (I tied my 25-year-old son, usually kicks my butt). Well-built and a good feel, all around.

Purchased from Cabelas in 2021 and my initial impressions were very favorable. However, that all changed after 5-6 trips to my local skeet range. I was stunned to see the butt stock was splintering in the area of the trigger guard - directly behind the receiver/action alloy block. I couldn't believe it! My 725 Sporting was only 3-4 months old and had maybe 250-300 No. 8 shot rounds fired though it. What a bummer! Fast forward about one year later and a new, more serious problem has cropped up. At this point it is impossible to attach the barrels to the receiver block. The problem is the 1 " metal tab (or tongue) is jammed forward, protruding excessively into the floor of the receiver - thereby preventing the barrel's locking lug from properly mating up with the action's hinge pin. I also noted that one of the pair of steel pins located in the floor of the receiver (to actuate the barrel's ejectors??) does not properly reset and return to it's stowed position. This malfunction suggests there is a serious problem within the action's mechanism. Not happy! So it's back to Cabelas to ship off to Browning for repairs, that quite frankly, should never have been necessary on a one-and-a-half year-old, high-end Browning Citori 725 Sporting.

Avid hunter of 20+ years mostly birds. Recently got into sporting clays and wanted to pick up a upper end over under with a few features without going “full German or Italian.” 1000+ rounds in and works like a charm breaks down easily tolerances are nice and tight wood grain is good nice but not like some of the 10k jobs. Favorite features are that it shoots well and just fit me with a little comb adjustment. Look these guns over good as cabellas and bass pro really have a crap policy for caring for guns on display and don’t carry much inventory. But Im planning on using this and with that comes normal wear dings etc. 30” barrel was just right for me. 32 was too much but I’ve hunters 26-28” barrels my whole life. Perks are the American stock with more flat eye to rib, double bead as I learned on an old mossberg 500 30yr a ago, trigger is good but different does not force reset like many semi autos and took a little getting used to and so far goes bang and throws shells out with ease. I compared this to many other guns in my club with a Brett’s being my second favorite, but didn’t like the feel as much, Yildiz was good but there is a significant patterning difference handle and swing compared to these lower end guns,

Gun is a pleasure. The adjustable stock is a must, and is easy to adjust. Wish it came with two skeet chokes , but we fixed that already.

Definitely not disappointed with this shotgun. This gun exceeded the expectations I had when I ordered it online.

I love the gun. It is nicely made and great for most ages. I use it for trap and sporting clays and occasionally hunting.

Well made gun with flexibility to shoot skeet, trap, and spotting. The barrel break is quite snug being a new gun. Expecting years of fun.

Best shotgun I have owned in my 60 years of shooting. Adjusted the stock to fit me perfectly and plan to use this for all the clay games. Shot a 25 in trap on my second round. The only negative is that the weapon is so tight, opening and closing was very difficult; fortunately a club member fixed it for me by lightly stoning a small part where the forearm attaches to the barrel. Other members stated their 725's had the exact same issue, with one explaining he sent the gun back as he thought it was defective. Seems like Browning could make this adjustment at the factory, as that part would take a long time to loosen up.

I have not fired this shotgun. I will use it for sporting clays. I have a 525 .12 ga and a 625 20 ga .both are excellent. I no longer shoot Perazzi. for sporting clay competition, trap only. The Brownings do everything that a Italian shotgun will do and more for me.
