The Browning Citori 725 Sporting High Grade Medallion 28 gauge is the engraved, gold-accented top tier of the 725 Sporting line, here in a 30-inch 28 gauge (Browning part no. 018272012). Browning finishes a blued receiver with extensive engraving and gold highlights, then pairs it with a Grade IV Turkish walnut stock in gloss oil, complete with a right-hand palm swell and an inlay for the owner’s initials. Underneath the looks is a low-profile Citori 725 receiver with the FireLite mechanical trigger, built for sporting clays and equally at home on an upland hunt. The 30-inch barrels and 28 gauge chambering make for a lively, low-recoil gun that still carries a long, steady sight plane.
