Citori 725 Trap Left-Hand Adjustable Comb – Browning

Description

For the competitive trap shooter who demands precision fit and consistent performance, the Browning Citori 725 Trap Left-Hand Adjustable Comb represents a serious investment in your scorecard. Whether you are grinding through a 200-target registered shoot in Ohio or practicing on a local gun club range in Texas, this over-under is engineered to help you break every pair of clays. Built for the left-handed shooter who has struggled with stock fit from factory right-handed models, this shotgun brings Browning’s renowned reliability to a configuration that actually works for you.

What This Product Is and Who It Is For

The Browning Citori 725 Trap Left-Hand Adjustable Comb is a 12-gauge over-under shotgun specifically designed for the dedicated trap shooter who shoots left-handed. This is not a field gun or a tactical firearm; it is a purpose-built competition tool for the American trap range. The adjustable comb allows for a custom cheek weld, which is critical for consistent point of impact and target acquisition. This model is intended for competitive trap shooters, serious clay enthusiasts, and left-handed shooters who have been forced to adapt to right-handed stocks. It is also suitable for collectors who appreciate Browning’s Grade III/IV walnut and the 725 series’ refined action.

Feature Deep-Dive

The 725 action is Browning’s most refined over-under platform, and this trap variant benefits from a lower profile receiver compared to the older Citori models. The reduced mass in the receiver area lowers the overall center of gravity, which translates to smoother swing and faster recovery between shots. For the left-handed shooter, this is especially important because the gun’s balance does not fight your natural point of aim. The mechanical trigger system ensures that each barrel fires independently, even if the first shell fails to ignite, which is a reliability advantage over inertia-based triggers found on some competitors. This means you do not lose a second shot due to a light primer strike on the range.

The adjustable comb is the standout feature for left-handed shooters. Unlike fixed-stock guns that force you to adjust your head position, this comb allows you to raise or lower the cheek piece to align your eye perfectly with the rib. It also offers lateral adjustment for cast, which is essential for left-handed shooters who often need more offset to see the rib correctly. The comb mechanism locks solidly with a wrench system, so once you set your drop and cast, it will not shift during a long round of trap. This level of customization is typically found on custom stock work, but Browning integrates it directly into the factory stock, saving you the cost and wait time of a custom fitting.

The Grade III/IV walnut is not just for show. Browning selects higher-grade wood for this series, with tighter grain patterns and richer figure than standard Citori models. The stock is finished with a durable gloss oil finish that resists moisture and dings from field use. The checkering is cut sharp and provides a secure grip even with sweaty hands on a hot summer range day. The pistol grip is designed with a slight palm swell, which helps maintain consistent hand placement shot after shot. For the trap shooter who fires hundreds of rounds in a session, this ergonomic detail reduces fatigue and keeps your mount repeatable.

The 32-inch barrel with a ventilated rib provides the sight plane needed for sustained lead on crossing targets. The rib is ported to reduce mirage and heat distortion, which is a real issue on sunny days when the barrel heats up. The Invector-DS choke system uses extended tubes that are longer than standard Invector chokes, providing a smoother transition for the shot column and tighter patterns. Browning typically includes three chokes with trap models: Full, Improved Modified, and Modified, giving you options for handicap, singles, and doubles. The chokes are marked with notches for easy identification, and the extended design allows you to change them without a tool if you have finger grips.

The left-hand configuration extends beyond the stock. The tang safety and barrel selector are reversed for left-handed operation, so your thumb naturally falls on the selector without breaking your grip. The ejection system is also tuned for left-handed shooters, ensuring spent shells clear away from your face and line of sight. This attention to detail means you are not fighting the gun’s controls; they are where your hand expects them to be. For a left-handed shooter who has spent years adapting to right-handed guns, this model feels like a custom build straight from the factory.

Ideal Use Cases

This shotgun is built for trap competition at all levels, from local club shoots to state and national events. It excels in American Trap, including singles, handicap, and doubles. The 32-inch barrel and adjustable comb give you the swing weight and sight plane to maintain a consistent hold point and follow-through. While it can be used for sporting clays or skeet, the trap-specific stock dimensions and choke selection are optimized for the rising and crossing targets of trap. It is not intended for home defense or concealed carry; this is a dedicated range and competition firearm. For the left-handed hunter who also shoots trap, it could serve double duty on waterfowl or upland birds, but the 32-inch barrel is longer than typical field guns.

Compatibility Notes

• Ammunition: This shotgun is chambered for 2.75-inch shells only. It will cycle standard target loads (1-1/8 oz at 1145-1200 fps) reliably. Do not use 3-inch magnum shells as the chamber is not designed for them. For trap competition, use 12-gauge target loads with lead or non-toxic shot as required by your range.
• Chokes: Uses Browning Invector-DS extended chokes. These are not interchangeable with standard Invector chokes due to the longer tube length. Replacement chokes are available from Browning and aftermarket manufacturers like Briley.
• Accessories: The adjustable comb requires a 5/32-inch hex wrench for adjustments, which is typically included. Aftermarket recoil pads from Kick-Eez or Pachmayr can be fitted if the standard pad does not suit your length of pull. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts if you wish to add a red dot sight, though this is uncommon for trap.
• Stock Compatibility: The left-hand stock is specific to this model. Right-handed stocks will not fit the left-hand receiver due to the reversed safety and ejection geometry. If you need a replacement stock, order directly from Browning or a qualified stockmaker who works with the 725 action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this shotgun be shipped directly to my home in the U.S.?
A: No. Federal law requires that all firearms shipped from a licensed FFL dealer (like us) must be transferred to another FFL dealer in your state. You will need to select a receiving FFL dealer during checkout. We will ship the firearm to that dealer, and you will complete the ATF Form 4473 and a background check at their location before taking possession. We only ship to FFL holders within the United States.

Q: How does the FFL transfer process work when I order from C.S. Firearms?
A: After you place your order, we will contact you to confirm your chosen receiving FFL dealer’s license information. You can either provide their FFL number during checkout or email it to us after the order. We verify the license with the ATF, then ship the firearm via a carrier that requires an adult signature. Your receiving FFL dealer will handle the transfer paperwork and any state-specific requirements. Please note that some states may have additional waiting periods or restrictions, so check with your local FFL before ordering.

Q: What ammunition is compatible with this shotgun?
A: This Citori 725 Trap is chambered for 2.75-inch shells only. It is optimized for 12-gauge target loads typically used in trap competition, such as 1-1/8 ounce shot at 1145 to 1200 feet per second. We recommend using high-quality target loads from brands like Winchester, Remington, or Federal to ensure reliable ejection and consistent patterns. Do not use 3-inch magnum shells, steel shot (unless the barrel is specifically marked for it), or any ammunition that exceeds SAAMI pressure standards for 2.75-inch chambers.

Q: Does Browning offer a warranty on the Citori 725, and how does it work?
A: Browning provides a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner for defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers the firearm for its service life, but it does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, or modifications.

As the selling dealer, we do not process warranty repairs, but we can provide you with the original sales receipt and assist with contacting Browning’s customer service. Keep your purchase documentation for warranty purposes.

Q: What is your return policy for firearms?
A: Firearms sales are final due to federal regulations and safety considerations. We do not accept returns on firearms after they have been transferred to your FFL dealer.
