The Browning Citori 725 HR Sporting is a 12 gauge over/under built around a high-rib design that improves sight alignment for clay shooting. The elevated rib encourages a more upright head position, which many sporting clays and trap shooters prefer.

Detailed Features 

 
The high rib is the defining feature here -- it raises the sighting plane and suits shooters who call for targets to appear above the barrel rather than at muzzle level. The FireLite trigger has a crisp, light pull. The adjustable comb stock allows for individual fit, which is worth having when you're running hundreds of rounds in a session. The Invector DS Extended choke system includes Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Skeet tubes. 
 

Target Audience 

 
This gun is well-matched to competitive clay shooters, particularly those who have tried a high-rib setup and prefer it. Right-handed shooters are the primary fit; the stock is not ambidextrous. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Sporting clays events where the high rib aids target tracking. 
• Hunting applications where the interchangeable chokes let you adapt to different game. 
• Extended range sessions where the adjustable stock reduces cumulative fatigue.

The Citori 725 HR Sporting earns strong marks for construction and fit. The walnut stock and silver nitride receiver look good and hold up well, and the gun feels solid without being excessive. Shooters frequently mention reliability and consistent patterns as primary reasons they stick with it.

The ergonomics get good marks overall -- the grip is comfortable and controls are well-placed. Balance is the word that comes up most: the 725 HR handles well for most shooters and doesn't tire the arms quickly during a round.

Weight and price are the two common discussion points. At 7.80 lbs it's on the heavier side compared to some field guns, though competitive shooters often see that as a stability advantage. The cost is high, but most owners consider it fair for what the gun delivers. Choke tube compatibility and stock adjustment options come up in threads where shooters are setting the gun up for specific disciplines.
