Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes does the Browning Citori Hunter Grade II come with?
The Citori Hunter Grade II ships with three flush-mount Invector-Plus choke tubes — typically Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder — giving you versatile coverage for everything from close-flushing upland birds to longer crossing shots in the field or on the range.
Can I shoot steel shot through this shotgun?
The Citori Hunter Grade II with a 3-inch chamber and Invector-Plus choke system is compatible with steel shot when used with the appropriate choke tubes rated for steel. Browning recommends using Modified or more open chokes with steel shot loads. Always consult the owner's manual and use only chokes marked as steel-shot approved to protect the barrels and choke threads.
How does the Citori Hunter Grade II compare to the standard Citori 725 Field?
While both are premium Browning over/unders, the Citori Hunter Grade II features the classic, time-proven Citori boxlock action with a traditional aesthetic — silver nitride receiver, gold accents, and satin-finished walnut — making it a favorite among hunters who prefer a more traditional look and feel. The 725 Field uses a lower-profile receiver and has a slightly different trigger geometry. The Hunter Grade II tends to appeal to those who want a timeless, heirloom-quality field gun with rugged reliability.
