Browning Citori 725 Feather Shotgun

The Feather model utilizes a lightweight alloy receiver rather than the traditional steel receiver found on standard Citori models. This significantly reduces the overall weight, making it much easier to carry during long days of upland hunting.

Yes. While the receiver is made of lightweight alloy to save weight, Browning incorporates a steel breech face to handle the stress of firing. However, this shotgun is designed primarily for field use rather than high-volume clay target shooting.

A mechanical trigger does not rely on the recoil of the first shot to set the second barrel. This ensures that if the first shell fails to fire, you can still pull the trigger again to fire the second barrel, providing an extra layer of reliability in the field.

The 26-inch barrel is chosen specifically for quick handling and fast target acquisition in dense cover. While it may feel slightly 'whippier' than longer sporting barrels, it is ideal for the rapid-fire scenarios often encountered while upland hunting.

Yes, the Invector-DS choke system is compatible with steel shot. Always check the specific choke tube markings and ensure you are using the appropriate constriction for the shot type and distance you are shooting.

Because the gun weighs only 5.44 lbs, you will feel more recoil than with a heavier steel-receiver shotgun. Browning mitigates this with a specialized recoil pad, but it is something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to kick.
