The Browning Citori 725 Field is an over/under shotgun chambered in 20 gauge with a 26" barrel, gloss oil-finished Grade II/III black walnut stock, and a silver nitride receiver with engraved accents. It weighs 6 lbs 7 oz and holds 2 rounds. The 725 platform has a lower-profile receiver than earlier Citori generations, which drops the bore axis and changes the balance and pointability noticeably.

Features 

The walnut stock has a gloss oil finish and a Grade II/III figure, so the wood varies but is generally well-figured. The Inflex recoil pad softens the 20 gauge recoil somewhat for longer sessions. The ivory front bead is easy to pick up on most backgrounds. Three Invector-DS flush chokes are included: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, which covers most field and clay applications. 
 

Usage 

The 26" barrel and 20 gauge chambering make this a natural fit for upland hunting where a lighter gun and shorter barrel matter. It also works well for skeet and sporting clays, particularly for shooters who prefer a lighter gun. The 43.75" overall length keeps it manageable in cover.

The Citori 725 Field in 20 gauge draws consistent praise for its balance and how it swings on moving targets. Most owners comment on the trigger, it's crisp for a factory over/under, and several people specifically mention it as one of the better stock triggers in this price range.

The 20 gauge chambering gets a lot of positive attention from hunters who want to carry all day without fatigue. The lighter weight compared to the 12 gauge models comes up frequently. Upland hunters seem to be the primary satisfied audience, with clay shooters also reporting good results.

The price is the most common friction point. The Citori 725 sits at a price where buyers expect a lot, and while most feel it delivers, some note that comparable performance is available for less from other makers. The walnut quality also gets occasional mention, at this price point, buyers expect consistent figure, and some feel the Grade II/III designation is inconsistently applied across individual guns.

Overall sentiment is positive, with most owners treating it as a long-term investment rather than a budget purchase.
