The Browning Citori 12 GA over/under with a 26-inch barrel is a break-open shotgun chambered for 3-inch shells. At 8 lbs. it carries more weight than the Feather Lightning, which helps absorb recoil during extended clay sessions. The rounded pistol grip gives faster mounting than a straight stock, which helps when tracking fast-moving birds or crossing clay targets.

Features 

Vector Pro Lengthened Forcing Cones reduce recoil and tighten shot patterns compared to standard forcing cones. Three Invector-Plus choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) cover a range of applications from waterfowl to sporting clays. The ivory bead front sight gives a clear reference for mounting. The Triple Trigger System selects barrel firing order. The polished blued finish and engraved silver nitride receiver follow the standard Citori fit.

The Citori 26-inch 12 GA draws the same core praise that runs through the line: walnut quality, consistent patterns, and smooth action. Owners who shoot clay sports regularly appreciate how well it balances at 8 lbs., and upland hunters find it manageable for a 12-gauge even through long days.

Weight and recoil come up as the main practical considerations -- at 8 lbs. it sits heavier than comparable 20-gauge options, and a few shooters newer to the gauge mention felt recoil takes adjustment. Walnut maintenance is a recurring topic; gloss-oil finishes require more care than synthetic stocks. Overall sentiment is positive, with the gun viewed as a long-term buy rather than a budget entry.
