The Browning Citori 825 Noir Sporting is a 2026 SHOT Show special built for sporting clays and skeet, and its dark-stained Grade AAAA maple stock is unlike anything else in the Citori catalog (brand part no. 0184193002). The figure in the maple shifts as the gun turns in the light, set against a gloss blued receiver with brushed sides and gold accents. Underneath the finish is a competition gun: 32-inch over/under barrels with 3-inch chambers, a ventilated rib, the Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger and Browning’s Midas Grade Invector-DS choke system with five extended tubes in the box. A HiViz Pro-Comp front sight and an Inflex II recoil pad finish the package at 7 pounds 13 ounces. For a clays shooter who wants the 825 platform in a stock that turns heads on the course, this Browning is a limited opportunity.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12, with 3-inch chambers that accept any target or field load.
• Barrel length is 32 inches, the long sighting plane that steadies the swing on crossing targets.
• The rib is ventilated, tapering from 5/16 to 7/16 inch, keeping heat mirage off the sight line.
• Five extended Midas Grade Invector-DS chokes are included: full, improved modified, modified, improved cylinder and skeet.
• The trigger is the Fire Lite 2 mechanical trigger, gold plated, which fires the second barrel without relying on recoil to set it.
• The stock is Grade AAAA maple with a dark stain and gloss oil finish, the feature that defines the Noir.
• Length of pull is 14 3/4 inches, with a 1 9/16-inch drop at comb and 2 3/8-inch drop at heel.
• The recoil pad is a large Inflex II, which directs recoil down and away from the cheek.
• The front sight is a HiViz Pro-Comp, a bright fiber-optic bead built for competition.
• The receiver is silver nitride with a gloss blued exterior, brushed sides and gold accents, on a gun weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces with a 50-inch overall length.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which chokes come with it? Five extended Midas Grade Invector-DS tubes: full, improved modified, modified, improved cylinder and skeet, covering every station on a sporting course.

Is the trigger mechanical or inertia? Mechanical. The Fire Lite 2 trigger sets the second barrel without needing recoil from the first, so a light load or a misfire never leaves the second barrel dead.

What makes the Noir different from a standard 825 Sporting? The dark-stained Grade AAAA maple stock, the gloss blued receiver with brushed sides and gold accents, and its status as a 2026 SHOT Show special.
