The Browning Citori Hunter 28-gauge over-and-under shotgun delivers balanced, classic upland handling in a lightweight package that swings naturally through tight cover. Built on Browning's proven Citori platform, this 26-inch 3-chamber gun pairs traditional game-bird ergonomics with modern reliability—ideal for hunters who value a refined, capable all-around shotgun for pheasant, quail, and woodcock.
You get a satin-finished Grade II/III American walnut stock that feels good in hand, paired with a gloss-finished barrel and a distinctively finished receiver with silver nitride and gold enhancement. The 50/50 point of impact means you're not fighting the gun's natural aim—it shoots where you expect without constant adjustment. Three flush choke tubes (full, modified, improved cylinder) come in the box, letting you adapt to different distances and cover.
The mechanical foundation is where the Citori earns its reputation: a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt with monoblock recess keeps the action solid through years of use. The full-width hinge pin is built to outlast lesser designs. Chrome-lined chambers resist corrosion and make cleanup faster. An Inflex recoil pad II absorbs recoil without slipping, and the inertia trigger with hammer ejectors keeps function simple and reliable. The lengthened forcing cone and back-bored barrels work with Invector-Plus choke compatibility to handle steel shot when you need it, though this is a gun that will excel on upland game.
A silver bead front sight keeps your eye moving through the target naturally. Whether you're a seasoned upland hunter or stepping up from a semi-auto, the Citori Hunter bridges tradition and dependable modern performance.
