While John Browning’s genius created the original Browning superposed it was Mr. Browning’s grandson John Val who travelled to Japan in the 1960’s to supervise manufacturing of the Browning Superposed. Christened the Citori it joined the Browning line of over/unders. Inheriting all the excellent attributes of the original Browning design and then adding selective improvements to aid with modern manufacturing processes.

From Browning: “This shotgun is the evolution of John M. Browning’s legendary B25 Superposed, now with the modern performance advantage of a low-profile receiver. The Citori 725 receiver is significantly lower than other Citori 12 gauge receivers, yet it shares the renowned durability of generations of Citori over and unders with the same rugged full-width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt design.

With a Citori 725, you get the balance, form and excellence that translates into the “one with the gun” feeling you want, with the long lasting durability you expect from a Browning over and under.”
