About the Browning Citori
The Citori is a Japanese-made over/under shotgun built by Miroku for Browning, introduced as a successor line following the end of Belgian Superposed production. It has been offered in numerous grades, gauges, and purpose-built configurations for field hunting, trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
Because the Citori line spans a wide range of grades from working field guns to high-grade engraved versions, assessment depends heavily on which grade and configuration a specific gun represents.
Small-gauge Citoris in 28-gauge and .410 bore, along with higher Grade models featuring upgraded wood and engraving, tend to draw more specific interest than standard Grade I field guns.
Variations
Browning Citori variations that matter

Higher Grade (III, IV, VI and similar) models
Upgraded grades featuring better wood, more elaborate engraving, and gold accents.
Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays models
Target-specific configurations with adjustable combs, ported barrels, or specific rib and stock dimensions.
Small-gauge (28-gauge, .410) variants
Scaled-frame guns offered in smaller gauges, often sought for upland and skeet use.
